Now Will Wade is not the critic of the bunch. My dad,me, and his friend both watch this show and understand the humor. The story,Kenny Powers, an ex-pitcher goes back to his hometown and moves in with his brother and his wife and also their three childern. Kenny gets a new job as a subsitute teacher for gym class but later becomes the new teacher for gym. Kenny meets again with his old flame from high school and is trying rekindle her love for him even though she is engaged to the school's principal. Kenny has the idea to get back to the top and defeat his old foe from his past of baseball. Eastbown and Down has bad language and there is drug use. Now Will Wade Kenny Powers is not meant to be looked as a role model.....at all. Will if you think that a character like Kenny Powers is looked up as a role model to childern.....THINK. There is a postive message to this show that message is keep trying.

What Parents Need to Know
About Eastbound & Down
Parents need to know that this pay cable comedy's main character is a profane, misogynistic former baseball player who's squandered his money and his talent. Angry and bitter about the direction his life has taken, he tries to soothe his pain with beer and drugs but secretly cries himself to sleep. Expect nonstop swearing (including "f--k" and worse), drinking, and drugs, as well as some nudity and frequent graphic descriptions of sex.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about role models. The show makes it clear that Kenny was once a role model; he even has his own line of motivational tapes. Do you think the racist, sexist, and angry former baseball player he is now makes a good role model for anyone? Based on his depiction, do you think he set a good example even at the peak of his career? What makes someone a good role model?
