HBO premiered their new half hour comedy this past Sunday, "Eastbound and Down," and it is a monorail ride straight to Spaceship Earth. It features North Carolinian Danny McBride as Kenny Powers, a washed up pitcher who returns to Shelby, NC as a PE coach. Laden with quick hitting one-liners and facepalming quips, this show might not gain immediate success, but it hits a home run with me (harharhar).
It might just be the cultural catchall that draws me in, or it might be McBride, but I have to say that any show that takes its name from Smokey and The Bandit's theme song is alright with me.
In the everlasting words of Lavar Burton, don't take my word for it.
