As one of the few hits that's currently keeping HBO afloat,
Entourage is still only a modest success - it's
recent fifth season premiere hit a
three-year low. Despite the lackluster ratings,
HBO still gave the greenlight to a sixth season much earlier than expected... because, well, they don't have much else going on right now.

Stories are layered, characters are becoming far more developed, and there's still plenty of room for Turtle to get sorority girls to whip out their boobs. We're only two episodes into the fourth season, but if this keeps up, it's gonna be the best one yet. Much like Vinnie Chase's career, Entourage appears to be hitting its stride.
