Entourage

Posted 07/31/2006 at 7:36 pm in TV

I love having HBO because it means that I am able to watch Entourage during the summer. Totally sweet. It is probably my favorite show on TV right now (that is currently showing new episodes…anything in summer re-runs doesn’t count).

The 3rd season started a little show, but it has picked up a lot of steam lately and the last few episodes have been excellent.

SEASON 3 SPOILERS AHEAD!

OK…so, I love that Ari is starting his agency with Barbara Miller…I think it is hilarious, despite Beverly D’Angelo’s absolutely awful acting (and really…could she have a little more work done on her face?). I think that if I had to rank the main characters on the show as my favorites, it would look a little like this:

  1. Ari
  2. Drama
  3. E
  4. Turtle
  5. Lloyd
  6. Vince

The show really isn’t about Vince, it’s about his Entourage. They are the most important characters…they are the ones that are the most crucial to the show. OK…maybe that’s a bit of a stretch…they wouldn’t be there without Vince, but you get what I’m saying. Adrian Grenier is only a mediocre actor…the show is carried by Jeremy Piven (PIVS!).

I’m anxious to see what happens the rest of this season. I was happy to see Walsh back for the last episode. He personifies the indie director who hates everything but his work (although I have to agree…QB looked like crap colorized). Vince is the idealistic actor who doesn’t really understand “the system” yet, but also has yet to come to grips with the fact that he is responsible for the lives of all his housemates as well as a bunch of other people who hang on his coattails. He’s kind of a punk.

But he has a great show.

    funny, i was just getting ready to write a post about entourage and then i checked your page, and there was one already. beat me to the punch. that show is so great on so many levels. the whole concept is awesome. the pivs as ari is definitely my favorite character on that show. then i think loyd is probably my second favorite. just the interaction between the two of them cracks me up. then probably drama, e, vince, & turtle. i think hbo must have been a part of the production of the new miami vice, because i recognized dom from a couple entourage episodes in there. along with the telegram dude from deadwood (another great show, by the way.)

    I can’t believe I am saying this because he uses terrible language each episode but Ari is my favorite too. It is similar to liking Michael on The Office. They are just train wrecks and you can’t look away. Ari is nuts and I love it. He brings a great energy to the show. Gotta love the Pivs!

    I\’ll be at Gardner Elementary. Didn\’t Alli do a wall mural there? I still say Rescue Me is the show of the summer. As funny as Dennis Leary is, he\’s not even the funniest character. But, we don\’t shell out the money for HBO, so I can\’t compare the two shows.
