It’s weird but I feel like Connolly cold totally play Michael j fox in a biopic

[@cesnav7593]

Yes absolutely

[@nnichols8358]

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

[@murphymagic]

No way - he would be much better at playing Queen Latifa in her biopic.

[@Aaron-fb1pq]

Damn good call

[@SportsCultureFragrance]

I wanted to watch but opening with “Putting HBO on the map again” while Sopranos was on is… crazy

[@JudePi-jx7yo]

Actually that's why we watched as we subscribed because of Sopranos and didn't cancel in 2007 because Entourage was also addicting.

[@rycam418418]

Entourage was so great. Ari Gold one of the all time tv characters

[@2011hwalker]

Entourage has not aged well. It looks like a adolescent wet dream in retrospect, with cartoonish characters throughout.

Whoever’s running this, great content. One suggestion - having a playlist for each sport and grouping each video into one of those buckets so someone could have a list of all NBA content, all NFL, etc would be nice

[@jkang9905]

Ryan Leaf was made to do this. He's such a natural at it. I'm glad life after football is going well for him.

Did Rich get kicked off his own show?

I guarantee you the same people that watched entourage back then, loved it, and made it a hit would be outraged and vilify and try to cancel it and the actors if it came out today.

[@mikehoncho2900]

He’s actually part of a new show with a lot of the old entourage cast which is going to be pretty big. Also runs a huge podcast and owns a production company that hosts other podcasts like Kelly staffords podcast.. so he’s he’s pretty relevant

Millions of people disagree with you.

[@YourBoyJohnny94]

Only SJWs hate Entourage

[@AlexanderFort]

God, Entourage was such a terrible show. From the insufferable characters to the melodramatic CW like drama with men crying and whining all the time it was just awful. Jeremy Piven’s character just has cuss words every other word it was just in your face heterosexual macho crap. One of the worst shows ever made.

[@therood1644]

I like the way you state your opinion so matter of fact, as if there's only one way to look at it... How overly simplistic of you.

[@johnobrien1759]

Up to season five it was actually pretty damn good I thought. But we all have our own opinions.

[@drek273]

I loved the show all the way through tbh

[@mariogaray2361]

You lack testosterone buddy!! Its a show about a life of fantasy of becoming an actor! Its really not that hard to follow Just enjoy

[@phish66]

It wasn't made to be a think piece or drama. Just a fun show/male fantasy, hanging with your bros while one of them is famous. Cool cameos, beautiful women. Definitely entertaining show. Were you looking for Citizen Kane meets The Seventh Seal?

[@IEATU95]

Sopranos, and The Wire was really good for HBO too.
