Episode four was phenomenal, IMO. I really like the character progression and am pleased they went in this direction and not a bunch of episode 1 clones.

 

Him telling his lackey after suggesting a screening of his comeback video "I think that's cool as shit" had me rolling.

 

I hope it gets picked up for more with apparently only 2 episodes left.

Is there a stream anywhere of this show for those of us who can't afford or have no desire to order HBO? Cause I'm really interested in this series but not enough to pay 15 dollars a month.

Man, I thought April was getting naked last night. Fuck.

 

A lot of great one liners again... I think this is a show I'll need to watch multiple times to appreciate, which is odd because the humor isn't exactly subtle.

"Can I wear my Scream mask? The mask from the movie Scream. While I do you from behind." was pretty grandiose. It was my favorite part, at least. Nothing's gonna top the line Gina Gershon drops in the making-of special, though.

 

What did she say?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, watched the youtube link. Her line was... eh. There have been much funnier lines.

 

 

How can he say Ferrel's character is out of Danny's head when it's a blatant ripoff of Flair. In the making of he even has the extended WOOOOOOOOO.

Untouchable episode.

 

The entire car lot scene at the end was fucking epic.

 

From... "That's my game - dickslapping is my game", to the premature ejaculation speech and reaction, to knocking his FUCKING EYE OUT, to Will Ferrell swinging the bat at the kids in the background while they are making out.

 

Amazing episode and when they toned Kenny down it was really well done.

 

Hopefully he stays toned down and doesn't go back to being the world's biggest dick now that he's throwing the heat again.

 

I'm a fan forever after this one.

I'm really into this show now, it grew on me as the first few weeks went bye. Chapter 5 was absolute gold, though Kenny and April hooking up so soon into the series is kind of weird. Ferrel is awesome in his role, he even did a "whooo" to go along with the Flair look, this week.

Stevie Jablonsky steals every episode he's been in. The scene in the truck was gold, as was his return into Kenny's life (even though he really never left).

 

Sidenote-when my friends and I saw Friday the 13th, we nearly flipped out when Steve Jablonsky was credited for the music at the start. I wonder if that's how they got the character's name, since he is the band teacher after all.

April reminds me a lot of a friend of mine: same naturally tan skin, same large breasts, same high-pitched southern accent. What's more, my friend is actually a middle school teacher from Shelby, North Carolina. What the hell's going on here?

 

The last two episodes have hooked me in. I'm interested to see where they go with it now that Kenny and April have hooked up so soon into the show's run.

Probably not, since it's "Stevie Janowski."

I don't remember if we've discussed it, and can't be bothered with going all the way back to the first page to check, but HBo has a pretty decent website for this show. You can customize a message to be sent to a friend from Kenny Powers. After telling a couple of things about them, the message is formulated and can be previewed on the site. The only problem I have had is that not everyone got the actual phone call, just a text message saying to expect a phone call from Kenny Powers soon. If it works for you, though, it's pretty awesome.

What time did you send it? I checked the site and they said they send it from 8 am to 9 pm. So it might have been outside that time frame and the text was sent instead of the voice message for then.

Yeah, if you try to send it out of their specified time frame, it won't go at all. I sent in smack bad in the middle. Everyone got a text saying "expect a call..." but only a handful actually got the phone call. There's a glitch somewhere, and it might be with phone providers. Anyway, if you can get it to go through, it's pretty nifty.

That was a GREAT episode. I liked the ending. I hope it means that he is coming back and there will be more episodes. Here is another great KENNY FUCKING POWERS quote from tonight's ep...

 

"Listen here you stoic little bastard. in the computer room.. little second drawer where i keep my weed.. underneath the handgun.. there's a stack of porn that will put calluses on those little hands of yours."

"Listen up, you beautiful bitch, because I'm about to drop some truth on your ass."

 

I kinda got a feeling those weren't "April's" tits... the way they shot it. Then again she's not a big enough star for a body double. I don't know. The way they ended the season and how popular the show has been - I really have to hope they're back again for a second season.

Yeah it's kinda suspicious the way they shot it, but then again maybe it was shot that way because Kenny has been so fixated on them through the entire series.

According to the AV Club, the ratings for EB&D have been really low and they don't see it getting another season. I'm almost glad, if that's the depressing case, that we got that ending. It works great thematically. Also, good call on the shot being an echo of Kenny's fixation on April's big cannons. We need to devote an entire discussion to the artistic integrity of nudie shots.
