Last night was our first Sunday night without a new Eastbound And Down in seven weeks, and, man, it was dark. It got dark soon. What were we supposed to do with ourselves, watch Kings? (I watched Kings, but I hated myself the entire time.) It was so dark that Videogum co-editor Gabe, unable to face a full week that didn’t begin with Eastbound, skipped town and is taking a few days off to grieve. Last night Kenny Powers, sensing our collective withdrawal, shared a deleted scene from the show on his Twitter with the words “‘Cause you ain’t got shit to watch tonight…A clip with me and Stevie. Pass this around like a joint.” I am, Kenny. I am:
Please come back soon, Kenny. We love you. I am not even fucking joking, here.

There is a mullet-shaped hole in my life now, and it will remain empty until another show comes along with coke, steroids, and crack-whore tits to fill it. So, let’s get on the fucking ball there, ABC Family.
don’t forget the oxycontin and ecstacy.
but seriously, if this shit don’t get renewed i’m gonna find someone to put a kenny powers mask on and take em from behind just to get my KFUCKINGP fix.
I stuck with HBO last night but this No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency bullshit doesn’t cut the mustard. The show belongs on the Hallmark channel. Come back soon, Kenny.
world-weary beer-in-the-shower scenes never get old.
Deleted! Grr!
How in the world did I miss this when he posted it earlier? I follow KFUCKINGP so very closely.
We all miss Eastbound and Down. I’ve told friends family and coworkers, and gotten many of them hooked. But this comment isn’t about Herr Powers. This is about Kings. I will have no more cheap shots at the show. We didn’t want it to be watchable. We wanted it to be a trainwreck whose predictability is only dwarfed by its shallowness. But its a good show. Well, maybe not good. Intriguing, perhaps. In three episodes its shown us glimpses of a fully-realized world. And it doesn’t play all its cards at once. There are plot lines from the first episode still dangling, and if the second continued many of them, it also created more. So yes, continue to joke about how horrible it is. But there are those of us who will mock it to our fellow non-conformists who think we are above primetime, yet we find ourselves catching it on hulu the next day. And we’re among friends here, so lets drop the pretenses and give Kings a resounding “Eh…s’ok”
