I am trying to continue with the race, even though I am a little late! Would like to do an about for Unnatural History as I have just watched it but am a little confused as to which episode guides are available as this seems to already have one. I don't really know what I'm doing but I assume I have to wait and have it okayed before I start in case anybody else is doing it, will read up on the code and the creating tables thread in the meantime!

Hope the about is basically ok, is there anything that needs changing? That was not nearly as difficult as I thought it was going to be, once I got used to the code. Also thanks to the thread on creating tables in a post (thanks sddvasquez!)

Will look through tomorrow to find an episode guide to do as I think I have to do one of each for the race, but I quite enjoyed it so when I have time I'll look and see what other abouts I could do.

Still racing to the finish, or trying to!

I'll do the about and episode guide for Eastbound and Down if that's ok.

Chapter 1
Kenny Powers, a former star baseball player, returns to his hometown but immediately finds that he is not as respected as he once was. He becomes a full time gym teacher while training to return to the pros.

Chapter 2
Kenny tries to become the spokesman for a luxury car dealer. After an embarrassing scene at the car dealership, Kenny appears with his driver at a school dance and declares his love for April while high on ecstasy.

Chapter 3
After Kenny sets Stevie up to take the rap for his own alcohol-fueled car crash, Kenny hires Stevie as his assistant. Kenny has Cassie sell his memorabilia on eBay, and begins training and using steroids again.

Chapter 4
Stevie puts together a DVD of Kenny's greatest moments in the hopes that the major leagues will notice. Later, Kenny attends a barbecue with Tracy at April and Terrence's house where his romantic feelings for April intensify, and she shows the first signs of reciprocation, but an awkward moment gives them pause. Tracy gets Terrence, April's fiance and Kenny's boss, drunk, and he calls Kenny out for being a has-been in front of Stevie, April, Tracy, and all of their friends.

Chapter 5
Thanks largely to Terrence's words, Kenny decides to give up on his dream of returning to professional baseball. Meanwhile, arrogant car dealer Ashley comes back into the picture, along with the man who ended Kenny's career, Reg Mackworthy, who has had his career sidelined thanks to gambling charges.

Chapter 6
Kenny gets an offer from Tampa and is forced to say goodbye to his family and teaching job. Right before he leaves, he gets a phone call from the agent saying that the deal was off, and he hides this from his family and April, and leaves with April, leaving all of them with the assumption that his baseball career is back on track.

Every kid has a great ballplayer they look up to, Kenny Powers is not that guy!

Eastbound and Down premiered on HBO on February 15 2009

About the show:
Arrogant, washed-up big league pitcher Kenny Powers thought he'd scored a shot at a comeback in the majors, but the offer turned out to be bogus.  Now, having left his North Carolina life behind, he's making a fresh start in a small Mexican town, where he can both nurse his wounds and bless the locals with his awesomeness.

Eastbound & Down tells the story of Kenny Powers, who used to be a star pitcher until his self-destructive behaviour knocked him out of major League Baseball.  In the first season of the series, he returned home to North carolina to teach Phys Ed at the middle school he once attended, and eventually scored another big league job offer - or so he imagined.

Cast:

Danny McBride	Kenny Powers
Ben Best	Clegg
Andrew Daly	Terrence Cutler
Steve Little	Stevie Janowski
Katy Mixon	April Buchanon
John Hawkes	Dustin Powers
Jennifer Irwin	Cassie Powers

Have spotted a mistake in my Unnatural History About when I was using it as a guide for this one.
One of the names says Bryan Barelett and it should be Bartlett. Sorry!
