Watching with my entourage


My addictive personality has found a new home with Entourage. In the past few months, I've caught up on four seasons of this great show. Well written, hilarious, but not looking for the cheap gag. The show benifits from strong writing and great charactors. One of the most interesting things that I have found is how the "star" Vinny Chase is actually one of the least interesting people on the show, easily over-shadowed by Ari, E and the ongoing Turtle-Drama banter. Even Ari's assistant Lloyd gets more laughs (especially when he runs out of the office due to a recent break-up with Ari in chase and yelling "LLLLLLLLllllllloooooyyyyydddd!!!!!")

This reminds me of the West Wing's orignal writer Aaron Sorkin saying that the show was originally intended to be about Sam Seabourne (Rob Lowe), but quickly evolved into a show about all of the staff and the President ("Entourage") and the White House overall.

HBO is also very cleverly marketing the show. Expert web surfer Daily Dyson found this promo site and trailer for the movie Meddelin which is Vince's most recent hit in the movie. Coincidentaly, in a recent episode the trailer is leaked online and can be found on YouTube.
