I was looking forward to the season premiere of Entourage. I’ve been a big fan of the show since season 1. The new season started a few months beyond where the last one left off. The boys are all riding a hot streak since Vinny closed his big movie, Eric’s pulling in tons of hot tail, Turtle is bagging Meadow Soprano and Drama is still a working actor on a TV show. Everything sounds great right?
Well the big twist is that everyone is leaving Vinny. Yeah that’s right, the ‘Entourage’ is breaking up. So this is where I get lost. You’re telling me that these guys are going to give this all up and pursue their own thing? How about no F-ing way. I get it that Turtle is bagging Meadow Soprano and would like to get in the music business or some such crap, but really? Have you seen Turtle? He’s only got Meadow because of Vinny. And do you think he’ll be able to get a job where he can smoke pot and drink beer all day that doesn’t involve working for Vinny?
I can almost buy Eric’s character. I could almost see that happening in real life. And Drama’s character isn’t that farfetched aside from being able work only a few hours a week on a TV show. From what I know, those guys work their tail off. But whatever it’s tv. Does this mean they are going to rename the show?
I could get by all of this if it weren’t for the fact that the show isn’t even remotely funny anymore. The gay bashing antics by Ari have become nothing but tired. OK, we get it, Ari is an asshole and can get away with it because he’s rich and has the keys to Hollywood. But his character isn’t even remotely funny anymore.
I watched the whole first episode and I’m fairly certain I didn’t crack a smile, let alone laugh. The show is a comedy right? I’ve never heard of a 30 minute drama, so this would be new ground. I’ll stick with it till the half way point, but unless I actually start laughing again, it may not be worth the band width.
