SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Anyone else really excited about this?? I haven't seen much Deadwood at all, but I saw an episode or two and I enjoyed it, so I'm gonna pick it up this season. I've seen a bit more of Entourage which I enjoy, so I'll be watching that as well. And lastly, I wanted to see Dane Cook this summer, but to my knowledge he isn't touring, so I'm looking foward to Tourgasm as well. All starts this Sunday I believe.

Mik 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 A new season of Entourage = GOLD. I don't have HBO but that's the one show I will actively hunt down on torrent. I like how they ended last season - so hopefully it stays awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 I'm a fan of Entourage as well, interested to see what they do with Vinnie Post-aquaman. He already did the 'indie' thing, so I'm curious to see what path he takes now. Also interested to see how Ari deals without the company behind him now.

Darthtiki 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 I wonder how they'll play QB, with Miramax or like company picking it up and having it succeed or tank. I can't wait till sunday, I love that fucking show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Lucky Louie also premieres. The commercials have made it look bad, but all HBO shows deserve to be seen at least once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-DeN- 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Anyone else really excited about this? Yup. Entourage is cool, but especially for the return of Deadwood, which is fucking brilliant and features the best-written character on TV in Al Swearingen. It's a shame it looks like HBO is pulling the plug after this season (the third) when David Milch only planned for it to run four, but whatever; I'll take what I can get. EDIT: http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060605/en_tv_eo/19188 The entire second season and some clip shows/behind the scenes shit is available via Comcast's On Demand thing if anyone's interested.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 So how many of you caught this? Entourage was pretty good, really good moments mainly with Drama, Turtle and Woods, but the ending didn't really have that cliffhanger feel that most of their episodes do have. Still, looking forward to seeing Vinnie progress, as well as seeing how Ari's new life goes, as judging from the scene with him and his wife they're looking to take a more dramatic turn with it.

Narcoleptic Jumper 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Deadwood was fucking ace. Brilliant premiere, going to be a great season. I didn't wathc Entourage becasue I don't care about it. Tourgasm was awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 I wish we had HBO so I could watch the comedy shows. I've heard/read good reviews on Lucky Louie and O&A played clips from Tourgasm on the show today. Bobby Kelly sounded great on Tourgasm as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 I'm still catching up on season two of DEADWOOD, so I haven't started season 3 as of right now but I'll get there via on-demand. Tourgasm is a farce. I think I've laughed 3-4 times from each episode outside of Cook's stand-up routine which doesn't count as I've heard most of it already. It's a boring group of people aside from Cook. Kelly is annoying, Davis is bland and Gulman is just irritating. I had expectations for this but I wasn't aware it was going to be such a generic documentry style show. Lucky Louis was a surprise to me. I was ready to hate it. The first episiode didn't blow me away but it had its moments but episode 2 was fantastic. Entourage, it's still all about Piven. Episode 1 was weak but the second episode was vintage Ari and I enjoyed Drama alot as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mole 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 I watched Entourage for the first time last night and I thought it was amazing. My favorite character was Drama. I was thinking, man he reminds me of Matt Dillon. Well he is his brother, so, makes sense. I need to catch up on this show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 Drama's hatred of the Valley was awesome, as was the scenes with Ari and Mrs. Ari in couples therapy. I'm hoping to God we get Vince and Drama visiting Michael Madsen next week to buy back Dramas bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 I love Entourage, and I thought while the first two episodes weren't on par with any of the peak shows last year, there were a lot of good funny moments, and I still liked them better than most anything on TV right now. The second episode was a lot better than the first. Lucky Louie, I tried to watch for the first few minutes, and the first segment was so bad that I just gave up on it altogether. The laugh track's really invasive, and the first gag was so unfunny I just gave up right away. I suppose I should give it another try, but I probably won't. I want to get into Deadwood, but after missing the first couple seasons and then missing the first episode this season, I think I might just get Season 1 on DVD and start from there.

Mole 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 Is it a live audience then? Because I heard some laughing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 According to Jim Norton, the audience watches it in the studio on monitors, which explains why there's a slight pause on the laughter after a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 Yeah, I guess you're right, it was a live audience. That made it even more annoying though. They had to constantly wait for the laughter to die down and it completely fucked with everyone's timing. I did only watch one segment, but what I saw was so annoying and unfunny, that it made me want to never watch again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 Sounds close-minded to me. You watched a minute of a pilot episode of a tv show and instantly decided that it was awful and not worth your time. Why not give it another few shows to get going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 dealing with the audience is no worse than watching SNL or Mad TV...the 2nd episode really is pretty funny...if you have On Demand, check it out or try to catch one of the replays on one of HBO's 800 channels.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 Entourage's first episode was shitty, and the second was not bad, but I'm still disliking the fact that we're two episodes in and they haven't really hinted at any sort of storyline. I guess that's what happens when you have to stretch the season out to almost twice what you're used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that's what happens when you have to stretch the season out to almost twice what you're used to. What?! There's Vince opening (maybe) the biggest movie of all time, and there's Ari starting up his own agency. Those are the storylines. Besides this isn't fucking Lost or something, I don't really require storylines out of a show like Entourage. I don't think the first 2 episodes have been as awesome as some in the past. But they've still been great. I don't know if you CAN get a bad episode out of this show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 Yeah, it's not storylines, I mean, I don't know, the execution just seems weak. The first episode was lame, where the hell did they drag all the moms out of? It was never alluded to before, it was just thrown out there. The next one was just a pretty cheesy bait and switch "Uh oh the blackouts ruined the movie box office take, oh wait no they didn't!" combined with the Almost Famous rip off. I agree that the Ari storyline is going somewhere, as is Vince being a huge movie star, but Vince being a huge movie star hasn't really offered much in the first two episodes. It's been kind of boring. Ari's stuff is getting dramatic whereas in past seasons it had more of a comic twist, with him always finding a way to ditch his wife, not that that's a bad thing.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 Entourage was disapointing again with only Ari supplying the quality. Dom isn't a great addition to the show. Lucky Louie wasn't as hilarious as last week but it still delivered enough for me. I'm sure Tourgasm will suck but I'll give it one last shot tonight.

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 I finally saw Louie last night and Tourgasm. Louie was kind of funny , and it intrigues me enough to want to watch next week. Tour was interesting, if boring at times. But the one guy falling naked off the bunk bed was great. and worrying that he didnt take ashower when the doc has to stick a needle in his BUTT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justcoz 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 Entourage is in danger of jumping the shark with Dom's presence. Showtime cancelled Huff and I'm really pissed off about it. Oliver Platt was great on that show, comparable to Piven on Entourage. Too bad HBO probably wouldn't pick up a cancelled Showtime series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
