On the elegant office set representing the headquarters of Ari Golds new palatial Hollywood talent agency, Doug Ellin sat in the glass-walled ersatz conference room, about where the fictional über-agent Ari might sit, talking about the utterly unexpected phenomenon of the series he created, HBOs Entourage.

Entourage is cool and all, but HBO needs to bring back Deadwood. And get the next season of Rome on the air ASAP.
I tried to get into Deadwood but couldn't. It is way too much work to understand what they are saying (at least for me). Where I'm pretty much on the same sophmoric level of all the guys on Entourage.
It's one of my favorite shows. The Ramones teaser was NOT nice. :)
Deadwood has four episodes left. Then it's gone. I don't know what the deal is with Rome.
The full article says that Rome will have only one more season. Since the first season culminated in the assassination of Caesar, I presume the second will culminate in the triumph of Caesar Augustus.
I heard Entourage is an accurate portrayal of the behind the illusion illusion world of Hollywood stars: Where to be seen, what to buy, who to meet, and where to party.
I also heard Swingers, The Big Picture, and Get Shorty are funny portrayals of Hollywood too. My favorite is Swingers...it's money.
Deadwood is done. Sunday was the last episode.
Deadwood does take some getting used to. Reading the episode guides after watching a show can reinforce certain plot lines that may have been hazy after the viewing.
Every third word is the F-bomb, so you only have to catch 66% of the dialogue to know what they are saying.
True enough. Still not a real easy feat for me.

i caught an episode of Entourage on TV this weekend. There was a marathon of them. All in all not a bad show. I’d love to see it from Season 1.
