Entourage: I stand by my award! For now…

As mentioned in a previous post on Saturday (here), I have finally got around to watching the TV series Entourage. I have become hopelessly addicted to the series, almost to the point of calling in sick at work to continue watching what this lot get up to, as this whole having a job thing is seriously starting to interfere with my television watching.

I even declared it to be the best series ever. Why, I even awarded it an almost unheard of full 20 points! I am therefore forced to bring to your attention a blog post I saw today which seems to disagree with me. I know: the horror!

I have cut and paste this from a site called Tasty Booze:

“I had such high hopes for this season of “Entourage.” Even after this video ripped the show for having boring and repeating plot lines, I still had faith that they would turn things around this season. After two episodes, people are back to hating “Entourage,” as well they should be.

All this hate comes from a conversation in the second episode about Knocked Up – you know, the movie where Katherine Heigl sleeps with Seth Rogan and gets pregnant. Yeah, the movie that came out more than two years ago! Apparently the guys are fixated on whether or not Seth Rogan was good looking enough to get a girl like Katherine Heigl. The conversation continues throughout the whole episode as Turtle polls every girl about their willingness to sleep with Seth Rogan.

To me, it sounds like there might be some jealously on the side of the writers of “Entourage.” Are they jealous of Rogan’s success? That Knocked Up was a legitimately funny and successful movie? Or are they setting up a story line for Rogan to appear in an upcoming episode of “Entourage”? I think it’s funny, because Turtle’s character is essentially a shorter version of Rogan in Knocked Up. And if we all have believed that the Heigl/Rogan pairing could work, what about the ridiculous pairing of Turtle and Jamie-Lynn Sigler that’s currently happening on “Entourage”? Oh yeah, it’s also happening in real life too – does that make it harder or easier to believe?”

Now I’m still only midway through series 3, and so far stand by my original declaration of it being the best series ever, which is kind of bad news for the Tasty Booze reviewer, as we all know: what Stu says is law. He has after all spoken.

I know, what will they do?

I sincerely hope I don’t have to eat my words once I reach season 5, but if I do, I will eat humble pie and admit I may have been mistaken. However, don’t hold your breath: I have faith in the show. Plus, I’m never wrong (although I imagine my girlfriend will probably tend to disagree).

We’ll see. I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve seen it, and with the rate at which I’m currently devouring the episodes, it shouldn’t be long!
