…its biggest total since May 2007, and more than double September’s opener…

What a start! This bodes well for the rest of the season, if this continues we could be seeing it go to Season 10!?!

Smiles for Turtle.
Is a Ferrari California coming his way?!

The New York Times posted what seems be a rather scathing attack, but as you read closer, they just seem to highlight all the things we love about Entourage. The critics seem to just blast whatever is popular to get attention — it has always been their way, and David Itzkoff from The New York Times surely got ours. With the title of the article

‘Entourage,’ So Yesterday

being eluding to the fact that he would heavily critique the show, but instead the content doesn’t really live up to the title. With quotes like this

Much about “Entourage” has stayed exactly the same…

it really cements it as attention-seeking false positive opinions, again highlighting the elements that attract us to become fans. And so what I initially thought was a serious critic, turns out to be a bit of light humor, with David Itzkoff rounding out the article exemplifying 5 “insider” jokes that appear in the episode and ending with a joke about Jeremy Piven actually turning up to work, unlike when he skipped his “Speed-to-plow” show at the Piven Theater due to mercury-poisoning. Haha… Not.
Behind the words I’m sure David really enjoyed Episode 1.

On a side note: We’re hearing whispers that Turtles is getting a Ferrari California! That must be in Episode 3 “One Car, Two Car, Red Car, Blue Car”. What the f*ck has Turtle been up to to score such a ride?! Although there are scenes shot at The California Speedway, so maybe Turtle only gets to ride one there. We’ll have to wait and see!
Mos def lookin’ forward to Episode 2 – “Amongst Friends” now!

Tonight’s Premiere
..we’ll be watching a premiere within a premiere!

Another rather soft review of tonight’s Episode 1 has been posted up by Jon Caramanica at The Guide/LA Times, go check it out.

…the characters of “Entourage” have become complacent, impervious even to their own growth.

And there was another glorious review via zap2it with Korbi Ghosh saying Entourage was

Like hanging out with your best friends whom you haven’t seen in a while, it’s good times.

Remember to set those PVR’s up and book that time slot! And be ready and excited to hang out with the Entourage once again….and have a f*ckin’ blast!

The second video involving Turtle’s mini-obsession over Seth Rogan, hilarious stuff… a lot of banter going back and forth just like the good ol’ days.

A rather glowing review of the opening episodes has come in thanks to The Kansas City Star:

Vince and the boys are welcome in my living room again.

Aaron Barnhart really seemed to enjoy the Episode 1 “Drive”, and his review really gets the back of my neck tingling! Out of the previous rather depressing reviews, it was with hesitation that I kept looking for more, possibly afraid that it would be a bomb?! But ofcourse it wasn’t long till the critics were singing praises. Obviously the others were just doing it to get a little limelight of their own. It is f*ckin’ awesome to hear when a critic reviews the episode positively and cements Entourage as the best with quotes like this:

…this season moves smoothly into overdrive.

In rather odd news, an Australian Free-to-air channel — SBS, has bought the rights to show Entourage to the masses. What’s odd about it is that they are showing Season 1, about 5 years late, and most Aussies would’ve already watched in on their cable channels or DVD. Bizarre. The only reason would have to be because it’s obviously a money-maker.

Episode 1 “Drive” Preview
The boys are having girl trouble.

That clip has the following little description:

Eric lies to his girlfriend about seeing his ex, and Ari’s wife has him sleeping on the couch. I think it’s safe to say the boys aren’t relationship gurus.

The brotherhood will definitely be alive this season (as if it ever was dead though?), especially after watching that clip and seeing how more than one of them have girl troubles.

It is awesome to see the boys back in action after nearly a year off our screens (228 days since ‘Return To Queens Blvd’!). Also the buzz about town are the episode titles for Season Six. This is for those hardcore fans that want every piece of Entourage information possible:
