The Knoxville News is reporting that the second season of HBO’s Eastbound & Down, in which Danny McBride will play the uncomfortable-making Kenny Powers, this time in Mexico, has a premiere date: September 26. Set your DVRs in preparation for maximum cringing.
The Knoxville News story has since been pulled down, but I’ll take even the hint of a premiere date for the second season as a good thing.
For a while I kind of hoped they would just leave Eastbound and Down at one short season like a miniseries or something because it was so perfect and wrapped up so neatly (well, messily, but neatly in context of the show).
I’ve since come around on a second season. The show was hilarious, after all, and Kenny Powers the type of transcendantly awesome character that can carry at least six more episodes. And Mexico promises comedy. I still hope more people will start bucking the trend and creating serial TV shows with endings scripted from their outset, defying the market, but that’s an entirely different conversation.
Anyway, this was just about my favorite moment in television history. It’s pretty funny as a standalone clip, but in context it was surreal:

His step off from the Jetski is hilarious. It’s like he tries to walk on water and/or his plant foot gets stuck.
“I play real sports, not try to be the best at exercising.”
That is great news. This show was so much better than I’d expected.
“I play real sports, I’m not trying to be the best at exercising.”
Oh damn, you beat me to it!
There are funnier quotes but most aren’t clean. Such as…
“I think you’re a terrific girl — but you got clothes like a f*#*in d@#*head.”
Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s the winner. Also the entire Spoonman/cookout monologue.
YES! That show is AWESOME.
