Man, I don’t get these people who get giddy over half-baked F/X fluff like “The Shield,” “Nip/Tuck” and “Rescue Me,” yet disparage cathode-ray crack like HBO’s riveting “Entourage.”
The only thing that would make it better would be a crossover with "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Or a Scarlett Johanssen cameo. All impossibilities, of course.
The tale of an emerging pretty-boy movie star, his has-been actor older brother, his street-smart script reader, his bloodthirsty agent, and a fat hanger-on named “Turtle,” “Entourage” may be (sorry, Robin Leach!) the most realistic depiction of celebrity lifestyle ever forged.
“Six Feet Under,” meanwhile, will no doubt see the funeral home’s livelihood threatened by Nate’s wacky decision to bury his wife in the middle of nowhere. Hopefully Claire will continue her flirtation with lesbianism, and David will be able to exact bloody carjacker revenge, but I bank on nothing.
“Six Feet Under”: 9 p.m. Sunday. HBO.
“Entourage”: 10 p.m. Sunday. HBO.
