Entourage

[M.O.Steel]

when is this starting up again?

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I imagine it starts up around June or July. I think that's when it came on last year.

 

[M.O.Steel]

[BlackLantern]

[Conebone69]

Cannot wait for season 7 this summer!

 

[Christopher Nolan]

will season 7 be the last season of this great show?

 

[kguillou]

Well Mark Wahlberg said that after season 7, there will be six more episodes airing in 2011 and then there would be an Entourage movie. So we still have a lot to look forward to.

Anyone else watch the season premiere tonight?

 

[Batman713]

Yea. It was boring. Show's definitely getting repetitive. It seems like most of the characters are reverting back to their early season selves (ie. Seasons 1-5). Turtle's a loser once again without Jamie Lynn, Drama's still heckling Ari and looking for a job and (up until the end of the episode) Vince is the same passive weak person. E seems to be the only person really making any headway. In season 6 we saw a lot of these characters mature. E seems to be the only one continuing down that path.

 

[El Bastardo]

If you say so.

 

[Paroxysm]

Bring on Sasha Gray already!

Entourage is essentially a sitcom. Its job isn't to provide meaningful arcs and character development. People watch for the fantasy of the Hollywood life style. To see Ari be a dick, to see Drama be a bum, etc.

Beyond that, Turtle has grown. He's a successful business man now. That's something. But yeah, I don't want to see these characters mature too much. It defeats the purpose.

At any rate, I enjoyed the premiere a lot.

Wahlberg is essentially a producer in name only. Until we hear it from Ellin and HBO I wouldn't bet on it. My guess is that they will extend the 2011 season to a full 12 episodes and make it a proper final season.

That said, I think HBO is over-estimating the demand for a film, if they go through with it. They think it will be the male Sex and the City, but I just don't think Entourage has the same kind of appeal. I say that they do a proper finale in 2011 and end it on a high note.

Two season and a movie are confirmed I believe....whether a movie happens is another story.

Entourage is now available on channels like Spike so I expect the following to grow a little. Sex in the City was a hit, but got real big when it became syndicated on TBS. Guess they're shooting for that as well.

True but we've seen 6 seasons of that. It get's tiring after a while. A new breath of air won't hurt.

 

[Excel]

Of course its getting repetitive. They killed his career way too quickly. The show will always be funny, but it wont reach the heights it originally was unless the characters grow.

 

[Matt]

Do people complain that characters on Seinfeld never grew? Or the characters on The Office? People seem to confuse Entourage with a drama when it is little more than a HBO situation comedy.

 

[El Bastardo]

Yeah. It's not the same thing as Justified, or The Shield, or Burn Notice. That's also why it's not an hour. Television, just like other mediums, has this thing called format.

But the Entourage characters are not static. They change, just in a little and not-necessarily-meaningful ways.

But the show is primarily a matter of comedy and simulation. It has great writing, but it's a different kind of writing than a drama would have.

I enjoyed last night's episode. I like the arc that they are building with Vince, giving him his very own Joaquin Phoenix/Britney Spears-esque melt down.

Also, I loved the Bob Saget scene. "Wives? That's some dark, morbid ****."

 

[Maximus One]

I really really liked last nites ep for some odd reason. Kinda weird cuz I usually don't like single eps of Entourage that much but this one I really enjoyed. I wish they woulda stayed on Vince a lil more when he was skydiving though

Every Bob Saget scene rocks. t:

 

[Maximus One]

He said Mormon not morbid lol

 

[Matt]

Ah That makes more sense.

So is anyone else disappointed with how they wrote out Klein? Yeah, he wasn't great, but it felt cheap. I hope they bring him back for closure. Gary Cole deserves better.

 

[M.O.Steel]

don't really like sloen E story. it wrapped up too nicely last season. E's story should have ended with that fight.

i really hate the way vince treats E man. he really needs to leave him

 

[MadVillainy]

So I'm guessing from Vince mentioning vicodin in this ep that their going with a addiction storyline...Eh

I mean its good that Vince is getting something to do, but I dont know seems kind of heavy for Entourage to portray it in a serious manner (which is my guess for what theyre going to do)

Season 7 so far is better than season 6, but still is pretty meh
