    This show managed to make sunday night something to look forward to rather then the night before another long work week! The chemistry that this cast has is uncanny. The only thing that this show could do better is be an hour long rather then a half hour. When you are able to watch every episode of a tv show numerous times and pick up new hilarious things each time it’s a ten in my book.

    Not as bright or witty as Season 2, but entertaining nonetheless in a mindless, late-night kind of way,

    i was first introduced to this series this by my cuz who attends chico state in california. she raved about this series and about how goos it was, ofcourse i wasn't trying to hear, so when sunday rolled around and a smoke session later, i watched the show and instanly i became i fan, it hit close to home, with the way vince and his buddys treat each otherm like a "family". i went out and bought season 1 and 2. now im caught up and looking forward to seeing what happens with the pablo escobar movie.....and what smart comments ari has to make!!!!

    This show rocks! Every character is hilarious, I love Kevin Dillon as the deadbeat Johnny Drama. Jeremy Piven is the next big name actor in Hollywood. Consider this a Must See!

    This is my rating for the last episode not the series in general. I would rate Season 3 a 7, and the series in general a 9. But the last episode "I Wanna Be Sedated" was awful. It was a stinker. Hopefully the last two will be way better than that piece of shit.

    This vote is for the series as a whole, not this season's premiere episode, which was disappointing. I guess the idea with the whole "mother" thing is that the show's producers thought it would be warm and charming, (afterall, who would give thumbs down to moms) but it really came off as corny and sappy. They played the "mother" card, but it didn't work, because it really isn't just that simple. The series in general though, is fun and charming. Expand

    Yo, dude, whichever bumps may lie on the road, this show is still good. This show has came a long way, considering it came from the brain trust of Mark Wahlberg, who has created a phenomenal television show. Even so, this show is still hit. It's still good in my book. And tell them I said, what up back.

    This show has its fair share of ups-and-downs, most notably in the third season. One of its high note has been the Vegas episode, but its at times over-emphasis on going to the OC-melodramatic direction and intriguing central plotline in the side characters, and the general lack of humor in its most recent episode "I wanna be sedated", this show has been tumbling from a unique bonding comedy-drama into a suspense but irrelevant drama, but hopefully I will be wrong in the upcoming episodes. However, the laughs have most notably dwindled and so has its formerly interesting but now at times convoluted plot. But, the characters are still so interesting and well-developed that I will keep on watching till the end. Expand

    Entourage is one of the best shows on TV, along with Family Guy, The Office, Boondocks, Grey's Anatomy, PTI, and Flava of Love (unintentional greatness)

    If anyone didn't find "I want to be Sedated" episode one of the funniest ever and Martin Landau's "Bob Ryan" one of the best guest shots yet, It only means you are too young to understand or appreciate those funny lines referring to the "older" Hollywood days of the 40's , 50's and 60's. This episode really show cased the range of this show's humor and wit. The most well written, witty, and entertaining HBO show since Sex and the City. Expand

    "What about bob?" was funny and entertaining. It was a near classic. Its had its ups and downs, but I think this season is gonna end great. Would give it an 8.5...but this'll do. I do still think it's one of the best shows on television, if not the best.

    Not funny. Bad acting. Sam jokes recycled every weak. Very few of the characters are likabe (vince and Ari being the only two). The others just are annoying.

    Funny, insightful, and edgy, this show gives a new look to Hollywood and into the acting scene where no one has gone before--giving it a realistic taste that is still splendidly divine, and still yet a classic modern-day tale of the average man in Hollywood in a slice-of-life buddy-buddy telivision show.

    fourth season was kind of disappointing but with a nice finale. The other seasons are brilliant, I hope they go back to their roots and steer away from the season 4's path.

    Very weak season premiere. Something is definitely off with this episode. I have to blame the director and the writers on this one. In seasons one and two, I felt as if I was part of the group following along in their adventure. However, with this episode, I felt as if I was on the outside looking in.

    Was ecstatic about the new season, so far so good, though I thought it could've been better....Vinny Chase and the gang have been pretty good, Drama and Turtle have been good sidekicks, and for a while the Saigon episodes were a good find in the mix as finding a young artist on the rise, but a little confused about the "I Wanna Be Sedated" episode....not exactly thrilled about how the whole Johnny Drama and Saigon thing was played out....the Dom character dragged out too long, I felt, but though not as good as season 2, hopefully this hit-or-miss season will end on a high note. Just my opinion. Expand

    I second Jeremy S. Quite possibly HBO's best blend of art, entertainment, wit, insight, banter, humor, good writing, depth, and superficiality. All of these qualities are present simultaneously, and every character establishes a niche within the show for themselves. Fantastic.

    The only reasons why i watch the show is because of Ari Gold and Johnny Chase. Vince and Eric, i couldn't give any less of a shit about 'cos all they do is bitch & moan while Ari and Johnny are constantly working their asses of for the good of their lives. Vince just wines when he loses a project and Eric just blames someone for it, like Ari when he lost the Ramones project. they don't understand how Ari busts his ass off each and every day. Expand

    The gang of five -- star Vince, brother Johnny Drama, dude-in-waiting Turtle, manager Eric, and agent Ari -- has jelled into a dynamic unit.
  2. 75
    The breezily irreverent "Entourage" -- chock-full of witty banter, Hollywood insider jokes and real-life celebrities in self-spoofing mode -- parties on in especially fine style.
  3. 63
    There are things to love about it - two of them to be precise: Kevin Dillon and Jeremy Piven.
