Can someone tell me what this show has to do with the song from Smokey And The Bandit?

Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin',
We're gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm eastbound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.

I'm really attracted to that chick, too. She lost a lot of weight between the pilot episode and the rest of the show.

anyone notice the huge difference in the characters appearence from the pilot to all the other episodes...the teacher lost a ton of weight...the principal lost some hair etc...

I felt ripped off by the season finale. I think they showed us stunt boobs.

but glad this got picked up. pretty fucking funny stuff

Deep down in my plums, I know this is a fantastic show.

Season 2 happening soon?

Did you see the outtakes? This scene, in particular, is incredible as Kenny and his rival have to keep a straight-face while Ferrell riffs about his plums: "Kids taking plums to school in their lunch. Taking a big bite out of my plums. Plum juice running down their chins." with McBride imploring Craig Robinson not to laugh.

the will ferrell character wasn't funny, it was gratuitous and took away from the brilliance of Kenny Powers. It just wasn't necessary. Enough of the vanity cameos.

Asked about his recent work in TV on the HBO series “Eastbound and Down,” starring McBride, Green said that he mostly used friends from North Carolina for his crew and shot it mostly like a “three-hour epic” movie. They’re gearing up to shoot a second season, this time with eight episodes, and having just read the first script he’s eager to take the story in a whole new direction: “We leave the country and most of the characters behind,” he said with a cryptic smile. “It gets dark.”

One fixed truth I can hang onto in this maelstrom of contradictory reactions to Observe and Report is that Seth Rogen is miscast in it. (Or is he? Maybe that miscastness is precisely what Hill intended. Ah, shut up, brain.) As Ronnie Barnhardt, the bipolar and delusional head of security at Forest Ridge Mall, Rogen goes deeper than he ever has—and that's not a good thing. As it turns out, Seth Rogen's actorly depths do not require sonar to be sounded. In fairness to the Rogester, Ronnie Barnhardt is a tough nut to crack. He must be unhinged and pitiable, frightening and funny, morally repellent and yet identifiably human, something like Robert DeNiro's Rupert Pupkin in The King of Comedy.

There aren't a lot of actors alive who could play Rupert Pupkin; even DeNiro himself, now in his later, broader phase, might have lost the knack. But there's someone who could have nailed Ronnie Barnhardt for half Seth Rogen's salary: Hill's muse Danny McBride, who appears briefly in Observe and Report as a Latino crack dealer. McBride, who played a megalomaniacal tae kwon do instructor in Hill's self-financed debut, The Foot Fist Way, and is now starring as a retired baseball player in Hill's HBO series, Eastbound and Down, has a knack for seeming at once achingly vulnerable and frighteningly deranged. Rogen can do the vulnerability but not the derangement: His comic center has always been his sanity, the sense he gives of being the lone earthbound pragmatist wryly observing the surrounding folly.

Best guess here is Kenny goes to pitch in the Dominican, to try and resurrect his career.
