It's not television....it's HBO falling off

Again, The Life & Times of Tim rules. HBO better not cancel this shit, or else I'll only have True Blood left to watch on the once-great-but-now-mediocre network. Because, let's face it, Entourage totally sucks now; this new season only serves to prove how mundane, predictable, blahzay, and uninspired the whole "douchebags make it big in Hollywood" show has become. Like, how do the writers and/or producers NOT have Ari take that new studio-head position?? Now, the show is basically "Ari loves his favorite client Vince, the struggling actor," which, correct me if I'm wrong, was the first season's arch. Back to square one, down to shitsville.

And how fucking terribly has Johnny Drama devolved as a character? Once a funny, snarky, dumbass-who-thinks-he's-slick, he's turned into nothing more than an airhead jerkoff, who you'd be hard-pressed to ever root for...and Turtle is still one-note skirt-chasing. Eric hasn't totally jumped the shark just yet, but in the hands of the increasingly inept Entourage scribes, it's only a matter of time. And Ari Gold, still good for frequently-funny zingers here and there, is growing old, and the now-botched studio-head subplot would've brought us Gold 2.0. Would've, being the operative word.

Enough of Entourage-ranting, though. The whole point of this shit was to further show love for my dude Tim. Timothy, even though "that's a terrible name." Sure, it's a tad lazy to plug the show yet again on this here site, but fuck it. My site, my choices. And I'm knee-deep in HBO's tepidness as I type, having just finished my True Blood guilty-pleasure-fix, now struggling to keep interest in Entourage, and impatiently awaiting a new half-hour of Tim's animated-Curb-Your-Enthusiasm-like goodness.

Now enjoy some Tim, demanding a promotion....



Oh, and for the sake of fairness, that John Adams miniseries was pretty stellar, and Flight of the Conchords is good times, so HBO deserves hand-claps for that. But still, yeah, with no more Sopranos and too-sporadic Curb seasons, my Channel 82 is losing mojo.

UPDATE: Just watched the new Tim. Quite possibly the best episode yet. LOLs all around, and now, I love Blobsnark. "Are you a 40-year-old man?"
