* Entourage - I know, late pass to the max and I started in the middle of second season. Still - so good!

so mediocre.

that show minus Piven, and, to a lesser extent, Dillon = worse than a bad Alf episode. ironic that it's called entourage when only one of the dudes is even close to entertaining.

enough bitching though.
