Eastbound and Down

Post by Zamtuk »

Anyone else watching this show after Flight of the Conchords? It's a show from Will Ferrell and his buddies about a washed up pitcher from MLB. It's really vulgar, and really funny.

Here is the commercial that ran after episode 2.

I've only seen the second episode. I loved it. Very funny, but also dark and more than a little tragic.

I'm with Zam. Flight of The Conchords is awesome. Some episodes are not on par with the rest, but it's a damn funny show and I love how light-hearted and silly it is.

That's what I thought about. One of the best comedies of all time. Gleason is ridiculously funny and I still pick up stuff from his performance to this day every time I see it.

Conchords is unwatchable so I did not know of their lineup for the evening. But, I heard good things about this show so I'll try to catch it before I drop all of my movie channels from my cable after my promotion runs out in a few days.

Flight of the Conchords has gone downhill in a big way. The first season was great, but a large portion of the songs were based of ones the shows' stars had taken on the stand-up circuit for quite awhile (read: they were tried and tested and found to be quite funny). This season I think may show that they cannot crank out the super hilarious songs at a volume they would need to in order to consistently create funny shows.

I've seen most this season and the only one I like is when Jermaine got an Australian GF.
