[orator]

Starts tonight!!!

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 I can't wait to see all the new stuff they come up with.

I'm wondering, do youse guys think is Entourage worth watching? I've avoided it because I can't take that Piven, but perhaps that's too dismissive.

[hugman]

well, if you don't like Piven, you probably won't like entourage because he's the best (nearly only good) part.

 Watch an episode. If you like it, you'll like the rest, because every episode is pretty much the same.

[hugman]

That sounded like I was dissing it.  I'm not. I like it. Never miss an episode. but I won't go so far as to say it's good.  Rex Lee is also very good in it.  I've known him for a long time and was super happy for him when his character took off like it did.

I watched the first few seasons of Entourage (back when I was an HBO subscriber) and you are correct. Jeremy Piven is great. The rest of the cast, not so much. Although, I do like Jerry Ferrara

But it's not a bad show at all. It's just not a great show.

I haven't really dug Piven since Larry Sanders, but maybe I'll try this. He can be super funny, but he's such a douche that it often overrides the funny for me.

 How is he a douche, exactly? I always hear that but never any reasons why, except retarded rumors about him giving out DVDs of Entourage instead of paying his dinner bill.

Just to see what would come up, I googled "Piven douche" ... so besides that ridiculous mercury poisoning thing, here's some random links:

To balance this out, these are from snotty gossip sites, so you be the judge!

[Reeleyes]

I might watch a few this season, I heard Mr Scorcese is going to be on.

[Regular Joe]

I don't know if putting tweets on a message board is acceptable behavior, but: "RT @DaveHolmes: Actors with no range playing characters with no depth making choices with no consequences in world with no stakes. Entourage"

[nec13]

I think Dave Holmes summarized the show quite well.

If you're looking for a television show with any substance or depth, then Entourage isn't the show for you.

Rex Lee's grimaces >> Piven's screaming tirades.


Notes from watching this season's premiere:

During preview, creator-mastermind Doug Ellin says: This season is a lot of fun.
I say to wife:  I hope so.  Isn't that entirely what the show is about? 

My wife, during the credits:  Last season was terrible.

Me, during the credits:  Sounds like they re-recorded or remixed the theme song.  Why?

Me, during the episode:  This episode is terrible.

[hugman]

Yea. Really bad. But I'll be back next week.  I've never watched a show for so long where the main characters were such idiots.  How old are these dudes? Afraid to have their own places.
