Thanks to an Amazon Gold Box deal I got completely caught up on this show. I actually met the show's creator, Doug Ellin, earlier this year at the WGA and he was a cool enough guy to get me interested to watch his show.

It's a pretty funny show, but I won't lie, the best thing about it is also well known fact: Jeremy Piven as uber-agent Ari Gold is amazing. I met a few agents in Hollywoodland and pretty much all of them are like Ari... just less assholish. But Ari isn't just an asshole, he's a likable asshole. I'm rooting for that prick and I think that says a lot about him.

Vince and his entourage are afterthoughts as far as I'm concerned. They have good storylines and bad ones. Good moments and bad. If it was just about them, I would've stopped watching as soon as Vince got fired from Aquaman 2.

I enjoy the show because I don't have to think while I watch it. Piven is great but the rest of them a) can't act; and b) get happily upstaged by bimbos with huge tits. Needless to say, I'll continue watching it until the tits go away.

All true. But those are all positives.

I've listened and watched a few interviews with the entourage boys and they are all just like their characters (except maybe Turtle). E in real life is surprisingly just as self-important as his character. Turns out he really can't act and yet he gets top billing.

Picked up for a sixth season.

HBO is damn fast at renewals.

Tebor, is Ari your anti-hero?

If Ari became the head of Warner Bros than yes. But he didn't. He did the smart thing and got Boston Legal's Constance Zimmer the job.

Speaking of which, this week's episode was a great end to the Smokejumpers storyline. I can't believe the season finale is next week already.
