What is "Eastbound + Down" about?

Why: People think it's funny. I have never seen it because I don't have HBO.

Answer: "Relief Pitcher Kenny Powers was poised to rule the Big Leagues, but two things got in the way: his fading fastball and his insufferable personality. After a spectacular career flame-out, Kenny came home to Shelby County, NC and picked up a job as a substitute gym teacher (mostly so his brother Dustin would stop threatening to kick him out). He's spent every moment since then cashing in the last of his dying fame while plotting his inevitable comeback... one beer at a time."

The More You Know: There are only 6 episodes. Will Ferrell is an executive producer. The star is Danny McBride - that hick guy with the mullet in "Pineapple Express" and "Tropic Thunder."
