Entourage

People who say there's no good TV anymore just aren't looking in the right places. There are still a few good shows on broadcast TV, but the field of 'shows to watch' has expanded greatly in the past 10 years to include cable. HBO, Showtime, FX, Sci-Fi, and others have put out a ton of great original shows, although not everyone has cable or premium channels.

Entourage is another great HBO show about four guys who grew up in Queens. (Corrected, thanks Sheelpi.) One of them finds stardom in Hollywood, and the rest join him out in California as his entourage. Each of the four characters brings something different to the table, and they are all likeable. The dialogue is well-done. You accept the plot, because a stars life is foriegn to the rest of us. The cameos are crazy, fit in really well, and lend an air of credibility to the show. You really believe the characters are who they are. Jeremy Piven plays the agent and steals every scene he's in. His character is, in a word, intense. Andrew, Sheelpi, and G all approve of the show. Season 3 starts June 11th, and the Season 2 DVD comes out on June 6th. If you have a chance to watch the show, give it a try.

So where have I been? I've been very unmotivated in terms of updating my blog. It's not that I haven't found any cool stuff to share over the past few months, I just haven't had the drive to post about it. That should be changing this summer.
