The premiere wasn't very good, but "One Day in the Valley" was. The Dom two-parter had its problems, but it also had Ari throwing scripts into the trash and beefing with 21 Jump Street boy. Etc. <BR/><BR/>In terms of "disappointment," I may be the wrong person to ask. I liked the second season, but I've never loved this show. It's entertaining and it's light, and when they put the focus largely on Piven and/or Kevin Dillon, it can be really funny, but it's never been a comedy masterpiece or anything.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1152565280726740612006-07-10T17:01:00.000-04:002006-07-10T17:01:00.000-04:00Nice Sout-Out for one of my favorite Who songs.It ...Nice Sout-Out for one of my favorite Who songs.<BR/><BR/>It does Entourage no favors having to follow Deadwood each week.

If the show was still in production, they could probably throw in a joke about it for one of the later episodes, but most HBO shows tend to wrap before they begin broadcasting.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1152537809279214712006-07-10T09:23:00.000-04:002006-07-10T09:23:00.000-04:00Nice to see that this year's 2nd episode of Entour...Nice to see that this year's 2nd episode of <B>Entourage</B> is already an anacronism.BFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264282750160516858noreply@blogger.com
