Entourage Returns!

It's the beginning of summer and you know what that means, the boys are back! Never fear, Ari is here! OK, I'll be honest, I'm only excited because there is nothing else on. If this show came on in September it would probably be that show that I get a week or so behind on.

Entourage is a pretty fun show, but lets face it, it's the male equivalent of Real Housewives. It's the definition of fluff TV. How can I say this? Well let me just break down where we are in the show. Don't worry about spoilers because unless you haven't seen seasons 3-6 this will look very fucking familiar.

• Vince is trying to resurrect his career
• Ari is striving to become the biggest agent in Hollywood
• Drama is struggling to find work
• E (Kevin Connolly) is the worst actor on television
• Turtle is a pointless character who brings nothing to the table
• There are lots of hot chicks and cool cars to be seen
• Lots of good cameos
• Great soundtrack (Kudos for closing out the premiere to Gang Starr. Maybe whoever picks the music over there can give BET a little help on it's next awards show)
• Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui) is possibly the hottest woman on television

That's pretty much it. It's actually kind of refreshing that nothing ever changes. I think if they tried to overextend too much the sub-par acting of most of the cast would be sorely exposed. And I am not sure the writers are really up to the task anyway.

I know this review comes off as pretty negative, but despite all of my misgivings I really do enjoy this show. And placing it in summer seems like a great fit. There's nothing better than sitting in my sweltering apartment on a Sunday night and thinking "Look at these lucky fuckers, he's gonna bang that broad AND he has central air. What a life!"

*Editor's Note: Ike lives in Seattle. His idea of sweltering is 73 degrees.
