What lifts Eastbound & Down away from mere crudball humor is McBride's ongoing love affair with the lower middle class.
-
80McBride is comfortable improvising, and in Eastbound there’s a lot of pleasurable tension in watching Kenny create difficult situations with his poor judgment and get out of them with his escape artist’s quick brain.
-
60I can't say the pilot struck me as especially funny, but there are good things and talented people in it, and it looks good.
-
30Even with the promise of a Ferrell cameo in future episodes, it's a tired premise--a more profane version of the kind of low-swinging sitcom that could easily have wound up on TBS.
