Danny McBride, the genius behind the 2006 cult-sensation "The Foot Fist Way", stars once again in this HBO series. Will Ferrell serves as an Executive-Producer on the series and makes an appearance in one of the episodes as the obnoxious owner of a car dealership. McBride plays washed up ex-baseball star Kenny Powers who returns to his small hometown to find work. Powers ends up as a phys. ed. teacher and evokes the same harsh, crude, but equally funny schtick that provided endless laughs in FFW. I do wonder what the long-term prospects are for a show like this that is clearly geared towards male humor, and doesn't offer much in the way of plot and/or character development. Still, if you enjoyed FFW, or its kindred sibling- "Napolean Dynamite"- then you will undeniably be in splits watching this show.
