Basically how I felt.

Seems like the shows are progressively getting shorter and shorter and shorter.

This one ran from 9:05 to about 9:27......a whopping 22min episode.

Historically, the first episode of the Entourage Season hasn't been good.

Season 3: Aqua Mom? Lame

Season 4: Welcome to the Jungle? Felt like a stupid documentary.

Season 5: Fantasy Island? Okay. Not great but not as bad as the others.

I thought it was a good episode. It was a set up for whats to come i guess. The thing with Turtle and Drama at the end with the fish was awesome.

The Turtle and Drama duo are comedic gold too, " Aquaman is back!"

I liked Aqua Mom and Welcome to the Jungle was at least original. Fantasy Island was like an episode where they tried to sell the show to a new producer. Look, it's got babes, nudity, Piven rants, friendships, Lloyd humor, and hollywood fucks them over but they leave you on the edge with the cliffhanger of "you're going to be bigger than ever".

But, yes, typically their first episode is not the best.

Wow, I thought Aqua Mom was worthless, but I guess that's just me.

I own the entire series on DVD and I always skip that episode.

Well, other than the mom part, I thought it was okay.

It's not like it was a let down like this episode was. At least from my pov. Of course, like I said, I think the time between the last episode of last season and then this FINALLY starting really killed it.

I just re-watched this episode and I thought it was really good.

SPOILERS:










We find out that Johnny's show has been on the air for more than 2 years (54 episodes), so he's a bonafide TV star.

Turtle finally gets laid, Eric's got three clients and a secretary and Vince hasn't had a legitimate film offer in more than 6 months.

Add to that, the classic Johnny Drama revenge ending.

I liked it!

prime time is trash. I watch Discovery, TCM, AMCTV. OR my DVD collection.......

I wonder whos E's 3rd client. You never got to hear about it.

Umm, wasn't it Bowow, Anna Farris, and Vince?

Anna Faris fired him last season.

:doh!:

Forgot. Man I really had been out of the Entourage loop.

I loved the first two seasons but since then it has gotten progressively worse. At this point it just seems stale and recycled.

Weeds blows this show away IMO. They aren't afraid to keep the series fresh. I understand they are two different types of series but if you aren't going to change things up you may as well call it a day after two seasons.

Artie has gone from my favorite TV character to flat out ****ing annoying.
