Eastbound & Down

Genre: Comedy

Premise: After substance abuse and insanely self-destructive and obnoxious behavior throw a knuckle ball at his major league baseball career, former pitcher Kenny Powers retreats to his North Carolina hometown, where he takes a job teaching physical education at the middle school he once attended. But another chance at potential big league stardom -- or so he thinks -- takes Kenny further down, to Mexico way, where he thrills the locals as only he can before he returns to the U.S. a changed man. Or is he? The colorful and frequently profane sitcom comes from executive producers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, among others, and stars Danny McBride (``Tropic Thunder'').
