What I'm Watching: Entourage

Entourage: Season 6, Episode 7 “No More Drama” (B)

This is certainly an entertaining episode, but the two major plotlines are more than a little weird. Only minutes into his new job, Eric already has a new rival, Scott, and has been embarrassed by Ari’s delivery of a dozen pizzas because he’s no longer a pizza boy but now a pizza man. Bob Saget’s request is just plain bizarre, and it’s the kind of thing that someone might wonder how anyone even ever came to think of it. It’s all part of the general “Entourage” mantra of trying to make uninteresting stars seem much more inappropriate than they really are (like David Schwimmer). Then again, Saget did include a very tasteless sexual reference to the Olsen twins in his rendition of a famously lewd Hollywood joke in the film “The Aristocrats,” so maybe the depiction of him isn’t that far from the truth. The central storyline that occupies most of Vince and Turtle’s time is pretty dumb, and them actually arming themselves with real weapons is pretty laughable and also uninteresting. I’m much more fascinated by how Johnny continues to get himself into more and more drama by insulting his boss, and even wearing a wire to try to get him on tape. I wonder if Jamie will step in and help to defend Johnny’s ailing career, but I think that her inspired suggestion of wearing a wire was the best way she could contribute.
