    Like Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiam, the HBO series Entourage offers a knowing and quasi-satirical inside look at the world of show business within a faux "documentary" format. Premiering July 18, 2004, the series (initially titled Sundance Kids) stars Adrian Grenier as Vincent Chase, a young, wealthy and very "hot" movie star. As Vincent's hard-working agent Ari Gold (a character based on real-life agent Ari Emmanuel and here played by Jeremy Piven) tried to keep both his client and his client's career on the right track, Vincent tended to ignore Ari and pay more attention to three buddies from his old Queens neighborhood, who formed the "entourage" of the title. Vincent's stepbrother Johnny (Kevin Dillon), aka "Drama," made no secret of his intention to use Vincent's success to further his own acting career, while his pal Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) was content to parasitically luxurates in Vincent's lavish lifestyle. Only his friend Eric (Kevin Connolly) seemed to like Vince for himself and not for what he could mooch off him -- and not surprisingly, Eric's advice and remonstrations were frequently ignored in favor of the sycophancy of Vince's other pals. Entourage was cocreated and executive-produced by actor Mark Wahlberg, who was one of several A-list celebrities appearing as "themselves" in the course of the series. All Movie Guide

    Jeremy Piven is the best thing in this. Enough said.by Iain010100

    December 22, 2008: Entourage is a story of idiots living off the back of the prettiest idiot of all. The entourage, and the star whose t'eat they suckle, spend money, do drugs, sleep with hoards of woman (the staple of HBO television), and live high on life. You'd be wrong if you thought such a premise couldn't miss. The situations are contrived, the motivations plod, the conversations are inane. They try to throw in a few ethical dilemmas, but who really cares if a party boy helps his bestest friend instead of padding his pockets? To fool us into thinking Vincent Chase (the pretty face actor actor) really is a big deal, a few "stars" like Jessica Alba pop by to play themselves and say things like "are you coming to the party?," or "call me!," or "congratulations on your new colostomy," or whatever.

    Jeremy Piven, forgettable, unfunny, untalented, and best known for his John Cusack charity sidekick roles in films, also known for getting mercury poisoning, which got him out of a contract from a Broadway play and instead of going to the hospital, he signed some autographs, hammed it up for some paparazzi, and sped to an all an award after party... and for miraculously gaining a hairline. He shines in this slice of drivel (Jeremy Piven is to John Cusack as Rob Schneider is to Adam Sandler). The fact that Piven is the best thing in this show says a lot about everything else.

    Other fine actors round out the cast. Kevin Dillon, famous for his roles in "Vampires: Out For Blood" and "Interstate 84" (yeah, I never heard of them either), plays a role well suited for him, a washed up actor in search of a career. Kevin Connolly, best known for his role as a non-speaking rush hour subway riding extra in Rocky V, and Jerry Ferrara, the guy who installed those big subwoofers in my Scion, flesh out the cast. Maybe they should throw in Greg Kinnear and Anne Heche to boost the talent pool.

    Don't bother with the popcorn because each episode is mercifully only a half hour long. That's as long as a SpongeBob, or Gilligan's Island, or Full House, only far less enlightening. No doubt they shoot a season over a weekend. Your time would be better spent taking a shower, eating a bowl of soup, surfing the internet for woman's shoes, prank calling the local morgue, or sampling the alcohol-laced medicines in the bathroom cabinet.

    August 13, 2007: I love this show,it shows the realities of the business of Hollywood, with a dramatic twist. I love the complexity of characters like Ari and Eric, where Vince is a comforting and well balanced character.
