HBO - The Righteous Gemstones

I just watched that last night, and it was hilarious.  It really pokes fun at the mega church culture and power families (like the Grahams, Bakers, etc).  Danny McBride and John Goodman are fantastic!  Just one episode, but I'm really excited for the next one!

Did you just refer to John Goodman as Tom Arnold? That's cold. 

I agree with you though. It was great. Growing up around the PTL people, there are a lot of little touches that really made me laugh, and some that probably triggered PTSD for other people brought up under that mess.

Ack, I did!  I will correct it!  Not sure why I had that horrific brain fart...

Walton Goggins, who played alongside McBride in "Vice Principals" and was also one of the bad guys in "Justified" for its entire run, is showing up next week.

Goggins was fugging brilliant in both. "Gemstones" is really funny, but not close to "Vice Principals," yet.

Dude, my wife and I (both teachers) LOVED Vice Principals.  That was one of our favorite shows of all time.  I might have to rewatch it about November...
