Just watch ol' Bandit run

If you told me on Friday that my favorite new show of the weekend WASN'T going to be Dollhouse, well...I would have told you how nuts you are. And Dollhouse was good, mind you. Not extraordinary, but real good. It's gonna need a few episodes to kick in, I think. Too bad it will be canceled so soon. But a new show by Joss Whedon should have been my favorite show of the weekend.

Except that on Sunday, HBO premiered the new Danny McBride comedy Eastbound & Down and it was freakin' hysterical!

If you are a fan of The Foot Fist Way (and you should be) or McBride's work in Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express, then you are gonna love Eastbound & Down. McBride plays a former major league relief pitcher who is a cross between John Rocker and Mitch Williams. He returns home after bombing out of the bigs and gets a job as a substitute gym teacher. This is a bad, bad guy. Racist, misogynistic, drunk, steroid abuser...you name it. But so much fun to watch. A real douchebag. I laughed out loud throughout the entire show.

And it was just the first episode. Gina Gershon and Will Ferrell haven't even shown up yet!

Here is the HBO Making Of promo for it. Enjoy.
