Entire 1st Season of Entourage on HBO this Wed. 5/25
Not that it was a very long season 
. HBO2 will run all 8 episodes back-to-back this Wednesday night, in case anybody hasn't seen it yet. I believe s2 starts in June?
For those that haven't seen it, I'd recommend it. It's definitely not going to win any awards, but it's just a fun show with lots of hotties.

Does anyone know how many episodes the second season will be? 8 is way too short.

Same here.
thefutoncritic.com indicates a 14-episode order for S2. Hopefully, that is correct.

Wasn't Jeremy Piven nominated for a Golden Globe? He is excellent in this show. And there definitely are some hotties in it. Too bad they all don't get nekkid. There's surprisingly little boobage in this show.
Just wish the DVD set wasn't priced so high for a season of 8 half hour shows.

It would be criminal if this show did not get Emmy noms for Best Comedy and Best Supporting Actor (Piven). JMHO.

. I suppose upon further review, it is just as good (better) than most 1/2 hour sitcoms on network TV.

And I'm not sure what you mean by poor writing. Are you complaining about what the characters are actually saying, or are you referring to storylines?
This isn't a drama. It's not even trying to be a "smart comedy." It's an excuse to turn your thinking caps off for 30 minutes and imagine how great it would be to live life like these guys are doing. And I think it accomplishes that very well.

I really enjoy Entourage and am looking forward to the new season. If it is true that it will be 14 episodes, then that kicks ass! Can't wait...

I caught part of an episode last night, I forgot which one, but Ari was jacked on Viagra and when his wife turned him down for sex he said, "come on...it's like R. Kelly at recess."

Plus, "Do you wanna hug it out? Let's hug it out, bitch" is something my friends and I use all the time.

If you have Comcast digital cable and subscribe to HBO, you can watch the entire first season anytime using the newish "On Demand" feature (available until June 6th.)
Along with Piven, props should be given to Val Kilmer for his guest performance in The Script and the Sherpa episode.

I know Turtle's supposed to be a putz, but he's an annoying putz, who isnt entertaining me or making me laugh as a putz.
Larry David plays a putz on CURB and he's VERY ENTERTAINING & FUNNY.
Believe me, I wanted to love the show, its got a great premise, but I just think the writing is very poor (but better than George Lopez & My Wife & Kids & Jim Belushi Show ... which of course isnt saying much). Piven is a very good actor and is the only reason to watch it. The other characters are lame.
Just my opinion. Its coming back for a 2nd season, so there are many who do like it. I just don't.
