Eastbound & Down is pure gold. I highly recommend it. F-ing hilarious show.
I didn’t watch it on HBO or Comcast On Demand because I don’t have HBO or Comcast. Instead, I typed a couple keywords into Google and found some high-quality streams on the first page of results. Buying the Season 1 DVD or paying for Comcast cable seemed like too much trouble.
What does this mean for HBO? Well, I hope they make enough money off HBO subscriptions, Comcast partnerships, and DVD sells to keep making badass shows like Eastbound & Down because I find it too easy to stream their shows online than pay for HBO or Comcast cable.
It sounds like HBO is changing their old model a bit with this announcement that they will try Comcast’s On Demand Online trial this summer. You’ll still need HBO in your cable TV package to watch HBO online, which is kind of lame, but at least HBO is starting to put their content online.
