Is this the final season for Entourage?????
Dark Horizons just posted this:
"Meanwhile Piven adds that there's talk of a movie version of HBO's "Entourage" now that the series is coming to a close - "Ultimately, it would be fun to make a movie. That would be fun — 'Entourage: The Movie' would be really fun."
He also dropped a hint about what's coming up soon in the show's final few episodes - "With 'Entourage,' we have the last three episodes coming up, and we're gonna end with such a bang. We were over shooting in Cannes and we'd do guerilla-style; we'd just take a camera and run."
God I hope not...I just got into this show and watched the first four seasons now in the span of about 3 weeks! Please tell me its not ending already!

It was just announced by HBO that both Entourage and Flight of the Conchords were renewed for new seasons.

See the second post, HBO has renewed the series for a fifth season and it sounds like they don't plan on ending it anytime soon with there comment about its renewal being a "no brainer"...

Turtle and E hosted the Jim Rome radio show on Wednesday, and Mark Wahlberg called in...they sure sounded like it could go on for quite some time. Probably doesn't cost a ton to make, all the younger actors seem thrilled with the job, and HBO needs something for the younger crowd.
While Piven is really important to the show, I could see it go on without him for a season or two if he decided to leave. It wouldn't be quite the same, but as long as Drama is around and they get a decent replacement for Piven, things could be OK.

I enjoy Entourage and would hate to see it go anytime soon.

I understand that Piven is a world class asshole off-camera, but if he goes I have no doubt that this show will tank. He's the best thing about the show and it won't survive his departure.

I read the Dark Horizons story as well. I then scoured the net and found the renewal story. I originally heard that the show could go 8 seasons...

When I read this story on Friday, I got really freaked out but then went over to aintitcool and read that both this and Flight of the Concords got renewed so I was really happy again. It's gonna be a long wait til next year, though. So wasn't last season like almost twenty episodes with the break? Is the season finale coming up or is it going to be another break until it resumes in next spring?

There will probably be a long break, but when the show resumes it will likely be labeled Season 5. They split season 3 so they could run the episodes with Sopranos. And probably so they could make more money off of us from dvd sales, too!

It's pretty much the best thing HBO has going on right now. Sopranos is over, Deadwood, Extras, and Rome are gone, Conchords and Big Love are building an audience but aren't huge yet, John from Cincinatti pretty much tanked... The Wire and Curb Your Enthusiam are solid, but neither is enough to build hits around.

I like this show well enough, but I think it is running thin on central premise to the point of being tedious. This whole past season I have found myself waiting until I've built up several episodes on Tivo before committing to watching them. Each episode seems too short to watch by itself because it seems to take forever for something substantial to happen. Big Love and Curb Your Enthusiasm on the other hand are never not watched immediately!

I do think that it would be great if they could make the show 45 minutes long though instead of just a bit over 30 minutes. I know they are trying to keep it short, but this is one of those shows that actually keeps my wife's interest and keeps her awake...if it was a bit longer they could pack in so much more stuff!

I disagree I think the under 30min running time is perfect - although I'll make a hypocritical statement and say that I record two and watch them back to back

what did he do to make him an asshole off camera? i bet there is a good story here.
It definitely sounded like he was done after the episode "sorry ari"
