It’s background to show how big of a POS Baby Billy is

I’m loving it so far. Only wish they had made each episode an hour. That damn “Missbehaving” song is stuck in my head now.

That song was catchy as shite. This was a complete filler episode and I didn't really laugh at it, but still thought it was really interesting.

Yeah besides the song, there were only 3 other parts I can remember laughing at. His son was weird as hell Sending him running and then going sike was great.

Danny McBride’s character was TERRIBLE

I’m expecting baby Billy’s kid to be a character we have already met before or someone they introduce in the show. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the guy that was blackmailing them. They spent a lot of time showing how terrible a father baby Billy was to the kid.

Now that’s a good theory.

I thought the kid looked like young Keefe.

By the way, this was by far my favorite episode. Baby Billy was hilarious. Young Jesse and young Judy were funny as shite.

The biggest problem the show has is that I think most people were expecting a straight comedy. This definitely isn’t that, and the people behind the show should have done a better job preparing people for that fact.

Not sure if I laughed at all last night. Other than just liking Baby Billys character and them singing Mishbehaving, it was pretty meh.

Im definitley going to finish the show but it has been a let down so far.

I'm really digging this show. It's funny and a lot deeper than I expected. It's not just taking cheap shots at hypocritical televangelists. Eli and Aimee-Leigh were motivated by their faith to start this ministry. Really, at the core of it is how the family is crumbling because their matriarch is gone.

Its still mainly a comedy. The majority of the characters just arent THAT funny. Kelvin and Keefe are pretty much strictly comedy and they just arent that funny outside of a few good lines. And I love Adam Devine/Workaholics. The guy Gideon is working with is a complete idiot and isnt funny at all. Jesse has plenty of jackass moments where its completely in the mold of Kenny Powers but it just doesnt work as well.

Like I say, I dont dislike it, and i'll keep watching it but I wont give it a pass for not being that funny just bc it has some depth to the plot.

I’m not defending the show. I’ve said a few times on here already that the show is just ok. Bringing in the Aimee-Leigh character did give me a feel for everything happening in the present day storyline.

I definitely agree with this.

Also agree with this. Young Jesse was way funnier than adult Jesse. Honestly, I’m not a big McBride fan. I’ve started Eastbound & Down a couple times and only made it through a couple episodes. Vice Principals was great cause Goggins was fricking brilliant.

Damn, crazy how people can be so different. The first season of E&B is easily the funniest thing I've ever seen. I've probably watched 20 times at least off and on.

I wonder what they are going to do with him. They intentionally picked a very skinny and unique looking kid and I can’t imagine he’s someone we’ve seen yet. I do expect them to do something with him later this season.

Whoever the kid they got to play young Danny McBride crushed it. Acted exactly like him and delivered his lines just like he does

I thought they did a great job with both of the kids. I watched the episode tonight and that Misbehavin’ song is stuck in my head.
