JPTV: What I'm Watching This Weekend

Entourage. Because I can. Because I have the first five episodes. And yes, I am doing a little taunting dance as I write this. Makes it kinda hard to type.

Actually, I'm excited and a little trepidatious. I thought season 3 was a comedown from the stellar season 2, partly because it swung too far in the direction of being The Ari Gold Show, in part because it seemed--like Vince in his career--to be spinning its wheels aimlessly, with no obvious place to go next. Props to Martin Landau for his creation of aging-bull producer Bob Ryan--"Is that something you might be interested in?"--but by the end of the season, I was more anxious for Vince to get a damn job already than he was.

But when the show is good, it's a blast, and I was glad to see it wasn't making us wait a year-and-a-half for further episodes like some HBO series I might mention. Plus: Carla Gugino! Is she someone you might be interested in?
