God Squad has to be based on the Power Team. Pretty sure I saw these guys live when I was a kid.

The power team came to Roseville Area High School in Roseville MN around 2003. While ripping a phone book one of them yelled out, "it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steeevvvee!" They had to do an apology over our morning announcements the next day.

Finished Vice Principals. Those last two episodes didn’t turn out at all like I thought they would. Still didn’t root for Russell. He’s just a terrible example of a human being. Gamby wasn’t much better but he at least seemed to be sorry for what he did. I liked that he sat the new VP straight right from the get-go. That was funny.
Overall, a fun series where you really never knew where it was going to go (although I did identify the shooter pretty early in the season). I still like Gemstones better and can’t wait for Season 2. Eastbound and Down is next up while we wait, tho.

Eastbound is so good. You're going to love it.

I started rewatching Vice Principals last night. The way the scene in Dr Browns house escalates is amazing.

oh yeah, thats such a classic McBride moment. Ill rewatch S1 of Gemstones and maybe dive into VP and E&D in a more relaxed viewing.

I’m saddened very much by the fact this is the only thing I’ve seen with her in it.

she has a lead role in some major network family sitcom. I can't remember which one but I'll occasionally see an image and it always makes me chuckle to think of her doing that stuff because E&D is so raunchy.
My sister used to watch that show. It was really awful.

Finished Season 2 of EB&D last night. FINALLY back to America and April. I did love the Eduardo Sanchez subplot, tho. And it probably had the funniest moment in the series so far for me when Steve gets there and they party and he and Kenny are standing there talking to someone on the street. Steve just like burp-pukes while standing straight up like vomiting is nothing. Just lets it go. Goddamn, I’m laughing just thinking about it.

It seems like McBride plays the same character in all three series so far. Or at least a variation of the same character in each series.

McConaughey was a great surprise. I’m not gay or anything, but he really is an attractive individual.

I don't want to break your heart or anything, but you know that's a body double in...that scene, right?
