This was the going to be the time that I was not going to say something bad about “Entourage.” I made my point last time, some people agreed with me, and some people defended it as a guilty pleasure. That’s cool. No need to say why I hate it for the 47th time.
And then I made the mistake of watching this sneak peek at Season 6. Vinnie and the boys are just hangin’ out at the black-tie movie premiere like guys always do. Ha ha ha! Isn’t great to be friends with someone famous? Beautiful women LOVE friends of famous guys! And look, there’s Vincent Chase himself! Look at the way he acknowledges the adoring crowd! Everyone loves him! What a great guy! Life sure is grand when you have no problems!
But no, you just go on ahead and enjoy the show. Just turn the volume up to drown out the sound of me retching until my guts are inside out.

This is such a gay article… Why would you waste your time writing about how shit a series is when there are numerous series out there that are so bad it actually makes me want to turn the tv off…
Entourage is just simply, FUN! guys having fun with there mates and if you cant see that then I think you must be a real fooking idiot… write about something meaningful and stop wasting time on pety things you retard…
Wont waste my time coming back to this shit blog… im sure this wont even get published cause you’ll block it so that only Entourag Haters show up in the comments, Get a Life douchebag!
I agree with 99.9999 percent of what’s said on this site and others in the network, but I just don’t understand the collective hatred for this show. I think the cynicism level needs to be toned down just a bit.
No, it’s not groundbreaking TV. But it’s also not “Jon and/or Kate Plus 8.”
It’s well made. The characters are more like caricatures, sure, but isn’t embellishment the point here? Most of the dialog is laborious, but I can identify with a lot of the ball-busting/interaction between these guys.
Someone else made the point that nothing ever happens/the characters don’t grow as people. So what? The show never purported to do these things. I didn’t realize this was a requirement. It’s following around some guy who caught a few lucky breaks and his equally lucky friends. I know if I had the chance to ride my semi-talented friend’s coattails and collect some cast-offs in the process I’d take advantage of it, at least for a bit.
Yeah, “life’s not fair,” etc. So we take 30 minutes a week to imagine what it might be like to catch all the breaks and shit out a golden egg. I understand why it might not appeal to everyone, but where’s the seething hatred coming from?
Isn’t great to be friends with someone famous?
Um, yes? Probably?
Beautiful women LOVE friends of famous guys!
Yes, they do?
Everyone loves him!
He’s the star of a Martin Scorsese flick, so, yes?
Life sure is grand when you have no problems!
Yeah, it would be. Why is it wrong to imagine what that might be like for a half hour before going back to my worthless shell of an existence?
Thank you Mr. Ufford, and I accept, Enrico. I thought the Wire comment was a dead giveaway.
Wheres the ‘obamas a douchebag’ tag?
Entourage is a doushebag.
” Pretzelman says:
Johnny D: Labradoodle owner gets one in the grape. Piven always earns a pass for PCU.”
Why can’t Jeremy Piven be the labradoodle owner?
Well I thought it was pretty good.
My apologies to Farthammer then. The all-caps threw off my commenting equilibrium.
/This lofty peak that you speak of has certainly piqued my interest. Why, just look at my widow’s peek!
Johnny D: Labradoodle owner gets one in the grape. Piven always earns a pass for PCU.
you’re going off the deep end, buddy. You just posted a worthless bit about why you hate the show…after wasting time saying you’re not doing it.
Incorrect, sir. I said that I had INTENDED to not say something negative about the show. That premise was the introduction to me saying something negative about the show.
And I hardly think 163 words qualifies as “going off the deep end.”
I had no idea Entourage had so many ardent defenders.
QUERY: Locked room, handgun, one bullet, Jeremy Piven and a labradoodle owner. Who do you shoot? (suicide not an option)
I hate the show and think it’s ridiculous, too, but you’re going off the deep end, buddy. You just posted a worthless bit about why you hate the show…after wasting time saying you’re not doing it. Get a grip. We get it.
Enrico, I believe Farthammer’s comment was satire.
Matt, I think it’s “sneek peek”
/ducks
He’s clearly piqued.
Farthammer clearly enjoys the writing of Perez Hilton. Get fucked, homo.
Also, re: the YouTube title on the screen cap — It’s sneak PEEK, you fucking clods! A “peak” is a summit or something lofty and hard to attain, a “peek” is a quick look. I learned that shit in third grade. WTF is the problem with people?
/pet peeve
If i hadn’t caught this show enough times to form a real aversion to it, the use of that god awful recent Paul McCartney record on the trailer means it can fuck right off.
THE AUTHOR OF THIS BLOG IS A BITTER MIDDLE AGED MAN BASED ON HIS CRITICISMS OF THIS SHOW I LIKE BECAUSE IT IS SIMPLY MINDLESS FUN YOU PROBABLY WATCH THE WIRE AND SHITTY SHOWS LIKE THAT
I like the show because I hate myself. There…I said the real reason.
@UU, not with bullets like me?
@CrabApple, no but I did want to spray my computer with my fists.
My wife still likes this show, is that grounds for divorce?
I pushed play and my computer sprayed me with Axe body spray.
Did that happen to anyone else?
