I know, I know...GetBig has been banging the Entourage gong since the start of the series, but I just haven't had time to tune in before now. Well, I finally figured out how to put stuff on my iPod and bought the first season to watch while flying to Italy from Cali.

Money.

Season 1 and 2 were awesome, then seasons 3,4,5 and 6 are just the same storylines over and over., Arie just yelling for the sake of yelling. Vince fucking a random chick but has not character traits whatsoever. The show has been going downhill. It started to get very "jewish" and went downhill

I wondered how it could possibly continue at this level of excellence...thanks for the heads-up.

Based solely on Season 1, it's hard not to like these guys.

YUP.

But it WAS the shit when it first started.

The correct answer for "best TV show ever" is The Wire

I disagree, it's still good even in 6th season. Ari Gold in the last few episodes = LOL.

How hasn't anyone not punched Ari right in the face. If he shot me with a paintball gun I would beat his pansy ass on the spot. The show has gotten silly. Like Turtle could score a girl as hot as the one at UCLA. That girl was smokin

I tried to get in to it, but I thought it was just not very funny. Curb your enthusiasm and The Thick of It (UK show) piss all over it.

Just started to watch Sons of Anarchy (not shown on British TV) which is awesome.

Agreed on Entourage, but The Wire is only the best if you pretend Season 5 never happened. Consequently, The Shield never had a bad episode, let alone a season.

George Whorewell · « **Reply #11 on:** October 27, 2009, 09:25:44 AM »

Its not even the best show in the history of the network

The Wire, Oz, The Sopranos= All 10x better imo

For someone who does'nt care for the show, you seem to know a lot of details. Epic self ownage

btw...I actually thought season 2 of The Wire was its downfall. A great show nonetheless, takes the cake as far as any sort of "cop show" is concerned.

I watched all 6 seasons. I just think it has been going downhill for the last couple of years. I was watching the first season before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon.

Johnny Drama is the shit though.

i didn't start watching curb till this year because of jerry seinfeld, didn't know what i was missing. am now anxious to watch the early shows. entorage is ok but would be garbage without jeremy piven and kevin dillion just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure a guy like Turtle could land a hot girl like that, he's funny, confident, has nice cars and hangs around a bunch of celebrities. It's actually pretty obvious.

agreed. the script summed it up best in the episode with the college chick when vince pulled up and she goes "who are you?" amazing what money and power can do ain't it?

I thought last season was a let down, but this season was great and with the ending i can't wait to see what happens next season. great show imo. It's the life every guy could ever want to live

seasons 1-3 were great. last two have been horrible. this show is a giant commercial.

all seasons were great, season 5 was probably the weakest. When I first saw season 2 I hated it. Over time and seeing it about 4 times I think, I've come to appreciate it. Season 2 is pretty good.

i would actually say that this is the worst show of all time, massively over rated, and a show made for guys who wear ed hardy shirts.

The Shield, now that was a show.

I'd rather watch Seinfeld reruns.
