'Eastbound & Down' will return to HBO


April 08, 2009 The series, exec produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, had a slow start, drawing 671,000 viewers in its Feb. 15 premiere. [...] like Alan Ball's vampire drama "True Blood" last year, it grew steadily throughout its six-episode run, peaking at 950,000 viewers on March 15, following the March 14 telecast of Ferrell's "You're Welcome America" HBO special, and closing its freshman season with 904,000 viewers March 22. "Eastbound" stars Danny McBride as Kenny Powers, a star pitcher whose self-destructive behavior knocked him out of the major leagues.
