Entourage may have overstayed its welcome over the course of its 7-season run, but with only one more season to go, I can't abandon the boys when we're so close to the end. The show was sold from the beginning entirely on its amazing premise-- people are so obsessed with celebrities that Doug Ellin (and Marky Mark Walhberg) decided to bring the lifestyle for us all to see and even become emotionally invested.
The pilot episode still remains one of my favorites, despite the seven--soon to be eight-- seasons that have followed. The first episode was everything you hoped the show would be--insight into the fun, funny and frivolous lifestyle of up and coming star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his three hangers-on... well, two hangers on in Drama (Kevin Dillon) and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and then his manager/best friend Eric (Kevin Connolly). Then things started to get a little more serious with every new season, culminating in the weird dramedy that was Season 7.
I'm personally hoping for a return to glory for Entourage but we'll have to wait and see when the final season premieres this fall. Here's the first tease for the new season, and there isn't much to get excited about since it's the true definition of a teaser, without any new footage at all. Hopefully it's first hint before a few full trailers surely arrive soon.
Entourage returns for its final season this fall on HBO.
