Editor's Note So that he'll never forget where he's from, actor-on-the-rise Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) enlists the company and support of his childhood pals from Queens, New York, to join him on his path towards stardom. More than happy to oblige, Eric (Kevin Connolly), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), and Chase's older brother Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon) eagerly move into Chase's L.A. mansion, where they enjoy endless parties in the company of beautiful women. With Hollywood as their playground, it doesn't take long for the entourage to discover that celebrity life is not all fun and games, especially as they contend with the high-pressure tactics of Vince's hilariously cutthroat agent, Ari (Jeremy Piven), and no-nonsense publicist, Shauna (Debi Mazar). This release includes the first set of episodes from season three of the show.

HBO has put out a string of series that have raised the bar for television, and Entourage, created by Doug Ellin, is no exception. It's obvious from the start that Vince's buddies are parasites and sycophants. They're all boorish and insensitive, but it's also obvious that they're all inseparable and loyal to each other. What's remarkable about the series is that such a rotten bunch of jerks can be written with some real depth and dimension...Entourage is sharply written, with pungently believable characters and situations, and of course being set in Hollywood, hardly anything would be too outrageous and there's a bottomless well of storylines for the show. The notion of a heartthrob rising star, a brother living in his shadow, and a clownish sidekick glued to the star's side is certainly believable enough, and there are cameos and Hollywood in-jokes that could go on endlessly. Once again, HBO sets the mark for a TV series. - Jerry Renshaw
