Righteous Gemstones? I’m particular with comedy but HBO usually knocks it out with comedy, anything with that crew is going to be good.

Your lack of enjoyment of sophomoric humor is noted. Be aware for a dude that usually means you are less than 6 months from death or transitioning.

I don’t get how you can be a huge fan of gemstones but not find eastbound and down funny. It’s the same style of comedy. For me eastbound and down is no doubt a top 3 comedy series.

Even Stevie could whip this dude’s arse. Maybe even Aaron…wouldn’t even have to bust out the spare fake mustache or ask Hector for help.

I’m a huge Gemstone fan but never saw EB AND D

Eastbound and Down is funnier than Gemstones, and I like Gemstones a lot.

Vice Principals is also funnier than Gemstones IMO.

As for you, OP ... there are just no words.

The shock and awe value and overall bluntness made season 1 awesome. It wore out its welcome after that.

That's because Walton Goggins is a master in whatever he is in.

I'm halfway through EB&D and it's my 3rd or 4th rewatch. Still cracks me up.

Vice Principles and Gemstones are also comedy gold.

Is Edi Patterson funnier in Vice Principals or Gemstones?

She’s on screen way more in Gemstones, but her laughs per minute on VP is through the roof

Eastbound and Down was twice the show Gemstones is


I'm on the opposite end. I did like Eastbound and Down alot, and figured Gemstones would be mediocre, but it's now my favorite Mcbride show, by far.

You have the right to your opinion of course, but I couldn't disagree more.
