UPDATE: Hey, few have hated Entourage more than I have in recent seasons. Judging from your comments, you still think the show stinks up HBO.
Maybe I’m just more easily amused these days after what feels like a summer devoid of entertainment (especially at the box office), but HBO’s Entourage seems less predictable and more realistic about Hollywood this season. Tonight’s episode with Jeremy Piven, Aaron Sorkin, and Gary Cole was unexpected and (dare I say it) hilarious. In a recent episode, George Segal did a superb Bernie Brillstein imitation (complete with ugly yellow sweater). And last week’s show had a sotto voce line about buying guns at John Milius’ garage sale that made me laugh out loud.

Sorry Nikki, this is by far the worst season yet. The jail sequence was funny. First time Ive laughed out loud this season. The Andrew Kline story is WEAK.
I still can’t believe people watch this program. It ranks with Arliss, Sex and the City and Queer as Folk as the dumbest premium cable shows of all time. So embarrassingly awful.
I bought Seasons 1-3 of “Entourage” on DVD. I didn’t buy 4 & 5 because I didn’t think they were funny. With Season 6, they seem to be back on their old footing and I’m laughing and enjoying the series again.
I just can’t figure out which is more repulsive, the characters in Mark Wahlberg’s mediocre life, or the one’s portraying them on screen. Piven is reduced to a one note shrill, a male harridan, Turtle is ignorant and annoying, Vincent Chase has all the charisma of Mark Wahlberg, and the only male character of any dimension, or humanity, is “E”.
The show is so grating and annoying I only watch for the all to rare glimpses of Emmanuelle Chiriqui– but hey, maybe that’s just me.
It is better now that they are telling stories about Hollywood and not about half-naked chicks that don’t seem to be gainfully employed.
Who’d have thought Lloyd would get a chance to be an agent? But then with the 10,000 gay jokes, it’s about time.
Even Turtle’s getting his act together – the freeloader.
u r high if you think this is the best season. there’s no sense of what’s happening in hollywood right now, like the episode where they bought each other $250,000 cars, and the show used to be funny and realistic, not farcical like it is now. the whole show is jeremy piven, the rest is like a semi-decent soap opera, and the best episodes were the ones with billy the crazy director, the pablo escobar medellin days… the guys are also getting a tad old for living together like frat boys (where one of them does the cooking??) come on, the whole thing is starting to look a little… gay. still, it’s the only reason to have HBO, i guess.
… a summer devoid of entertainment (especially at the box office)
I sure can agree with that. I don’t know how they’ll find 10 Oscar nominees this year. Maybe PONYO.
To this non-Hollywood insider, series seems like it’s running in place. Vince hasn’t done a movie since SMOKE JUMPERS, E’s wishy washy attitude toward Sloane is starting to drag on and Drama hasn’t been given anything truly laugh worthy in several episodes. Turtle’s supposed to be back going to school but he still seems to be right by Vince’s side, bong in hand, since that announcement. Lloyd isn’t even that funny anymore. I’ll take your word for it ahout the realism aspect of it, but I certainly wouldn’t call this the best season of this series by any stretch. Just My $.02…
I’m a long time fan, but feel like the last three seasons (including this one) have been pretty piss-poor.
It’s amusing to watch as someone who works with these types of characters — but I don’t know anyone outside of LA who watches.
And what’s with creator Ellin putting his name on every script? No class — not to mention some of the worst eps.
Honestly Nikke, you’re watching with your eyes closed. This season is dreadful.
You’ve lost your mind. This season of Entourage is so boring, so lacking in story and originality, that part of me thinks you must be joking. The Wizards of Waverly Place Movie was more entertaining.
These last few episodes have been the best. That jail visit scene was awesome… Also, the Gary Cole/Jami Gertz fight was a surprise too. IMHO the show needed some conflict to up the ante & the level of acting. Nice some very great actors are being allowed to do their thing. Yeah, Segal too!
Just in time too, b/c as a long time viewer I was getting tired of cars, boobs, clubs, faux premiers & stars.
The producers & writers deserve some props for delivering some ‘kick butt’ performances. :cheers: & hope they can push it even more…
I have loved this show since the beginning. Personally, watching the show often makes me feel like I’m sharing a private joke- I used to think it was mostly for those of us who work and live in La-La Land, but the fact that it does so well in the ratings says that the rest of the audience feels like they are getting to ‘hear’ the private joke, and who doesn’t want to eavesdrop on the famous and powerful?
And this season? Well, I have been surprised- and that surprises me. But this is the best season so far- I love it.
Couldn’t disagree more. That show has become unwatchable. The constant whining about Sloan, Johnny Drama is a bad cartoon, Turtle is unfunny and earnest, and those guys act like 4 old bffs from Queens as much as lamposts. I am waaaay done with that show.
It’s certainly been better than the last few years. I still think Season 2 was the best season the show had.
Worst show on tv right now. So bad and not funny. Makes me want to kill myself, good thing true blood is on same night.
You’re high.
I totally agree with you…
It is way more realistic, especially last nights episode so true to reality with Aaron Sorkin.
You’re crazy. This season is easily the worst (well maybe a tie w/ season 5, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt with the writer’s strike). It’s been downhill since season 4. Nothing happened this year! Neither funny nor dramatic.
You’re kidding, right?!
This season of Entourage is the same as all that preceded it: When it focuses on Ari Gold and the operation of his agency it is some of the best television on television. The second it starts to focus on the side-stories it is almost unwatchable. Turtle going to school, Drama battling network execs, Eric getting a new job? Yawn. And is it just me or is everyone mailing it in this year?
You’re kidding, right?! This season is an embarrassment. Ever since Vincent Chase made a comeback mid-season via Scorsese the show has been completely neutered.
Actually Nikki I feel that this has been the worst season of yet. Besides the Ari and Gary Cole storyline is there anything significant going on this season? Nothing with Vince, nothing with Turtle, Drama’s really didn’t have much drama…. The is whole Eric/Sloan/Ashley love triangle is painful to watch and has gone NOWHERE. Question: Out of all the 20 something young actress in Hollywood, why did they cast a girl who looks like she is 13 years old to play Eric’s new girlfriend? I thought they were trying to be edgy, E falls for a high school freshman. She is 24????? She looks 13 Max
i’ve only seen the one with bob saget’s tired routine which lost its shock value 5 seasons ago and that was enough to keep me away…
Thats surprising to read here – both cause it seems so out of place on DHD and cause gen consensus around here is Entourage is treading water.
The shows all about the relationships this season, too soapy, the wheeling and dealing insanity is lacking, but I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
