What's so good about Entourage?

Just didn't keep up with all the episodes that started piling up on the DVR as it was on like 3 times a week x 1hr. too intense.

1 hour? Most episodes are 25 minutes.

Do you watch it on mute or something? The dialogue is GOLD. Pun intended.

i feel this way about 99% of all things on TV

Ari/Lloyd were the only consistently good parts of the show in my opinion.

I liked the first 3 seasons. The fourth got different writing or something and had a different feel to the dialog and direction it went. Plus after three years of pretty much nothing but "highs" the appeal of a couple everyday guys balling around hollywood just got old. There never really felt like there were any negative results to their actions, they always found more money or a way out.

Yeah I think I made it through 3 seasons...4th lost my interest (it was waning anyways)

This show is so bad I can't even get myself to watch a complete episode.

Your first problem is that you're trying to just watch whatever show is on TV at the time. You need to start at the beginning. It's not a self-contained show that you can just watch any episode and enjoy it. Without the background of what has happened in past episodes, it will just be confusing to you.

It actually is a pretty bad show writing and acting wise, but its extremely entertaining if you want to get a (albeit fake) look at what goes on inside Hollywood.

I watch it regularly and yes most of the actors on the show are horrible. Jeremy Pivens saves it and should get his own Ari Gold spin-off once this show ends.

 

[oogabooga]

it's not the best show on television, but it's an entertaining watch.

I love Ari. I think this clip is my favorite of him : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...HXNm28&feature=related

The show has a huge following because its a bunch of rich guys doing whatever they want, but they talk like stereotypical college guys. I never really liked it. Jokes that are no different from day-to-day conversation I might have with my friends are not funny to me.

(before someone brings up seinfeld, no, that's not what I mean)

 

[Squisher]

I still put my hand over my eyes and laugh over Drama puking in the swimming pool just about every time someone mentions Entourage.


OP, I will say the some of the shows are hit and miss. If you happened across this season's premiere I will say it was mostly a setup for the season and mostly a miss.

There is nothing good about Microsoft Entourage

 

[lifeobry]

good show

 

[akshatp]

Great show. You wont "get it" or "enjoy" it if you are watching 10 minutes of the middle of an episode while flipping through channels. If thats your vice, then reality TV is your best bet.

 

[thegimp03]

First 2 seasons were gold. It's gone downhill since and I hope this season they turn it around. The S6 premier wasn't as good as what I was hoping, but it sounds like Vinny is getting back on top so that might improve things.

 

[Barfo]

Ok I get it, don't think I'm gonna bother with it.

 

[BrokenVisage]

I can vaguely see why other people like it, but I don't think it's all the funny or anything special and I usually enjoy any kind of show HBO puts out.

And like I say in every Entourage thread I HATE that fat piece of turtle shit. He's the type of person I'd have to punch square in the chin if I had to be around for more than 5 minutes, ergo I can't even watch him for 5 minutes making the show even harder for me to like. That is all.

 

[MyThirdEye]

I'm addicted to that show.

I think its just a show that 17 year old guys can watch and give them something to chat about and model their lives after.

"I'm gonna be just like them and buy a Maserati,"

fuck you, pussy.

 

[rocadelpunk]

I would watch season 3 all the way through than start from scratch

It's like sex and the city, but for guys and a million times better

ari gold is probably one of the better characters in television

last couple of seasons have been kinda meh, but still definitely watchable.

How do you some of you claim "oh it's sooo fake" - are you all hollywood insiders? Yeah it's probably hyperbole, but imagine the agent doings are pretty fucking accurate. Plus isn't it directed by mark whalburg - so there's some semblence of truth to all of it.

like i said it's like sex and the city but for guys - so if you can't see a bit of yourself and your friends in the characters then well...you're the odd man out.

It's good for the would-be actors out there.

 

[MyThirdEye]

I watched all 5 seasons straight one weekend. Very intense.

 

[olds]

Ari and E's ex.

Must have been back to back or re-edited to be 1 hour long. Was Entourage.
