Anyone in the US/Canada have the opportunity to see HBO's Eastbound and Down" with Danny McBride? Easily the funniest new show I've seen this year. All 6 episodes can be downloaded now and I highly recommend it.
Five stars for Kenny Effing Powers!

One of the shows creators, Jody Hill, also directed the low-budget "The Foot Fist Way", which I also liked, and his new film Observe and Report, which is supposed to be equally as dark, is coming out tonight.

Check out Eastbound and Down again. pretty much everything that comes out of Danny McBride's mouth is quotable gold.
Best line from the episode I watched last night:
"This bar smells like an old lady farted piss."
