The boys are back...

For the past couple of years, I've struggled to find a comedy that was funny, smart and quick enough to fill the void "Seinfeld" left when it went off the air.\nAfter hugging it out, I've found it. It's a show about an up and coming actor and his group of friends. The posse consists of a paranoid micromanaging best friend, a half-brother whose clinging to his acting career like Tonya Harding clings to the lime-light, a pot smoking friend who gladly rides his friend's coattails, and an agent who is a combination between Tom Cruise and Bobby Knight.\nIf you haven't figured it out by now, the show I'm referring to is HBO's hit series "Entourage," which just released it's complete second season DVD. Most of the season is focused around the storyline of Vincent Chase, (Adrian Grenier), contemplating whether or not to star in the fictional summer blockbuster, "Aquaman."\nAttempting to convince Vince to take the part of Aquaman is Vince's agent, Ari Gold, played by Jeremy Piven. Although all the characters have their qualities, Piven seems to be the highlight of every episode. Whether it's his catchphrase, "Let's hug it out, bitch," or his berating of his openly gay secretary Lloyd, Piven will leave you in fits of laughter. \nAdding to the comedy of "Entourage" is the abundance of cameos in the second season. While there are several to choose from, the best cameo of the season goes to Val Kilmer, who plays a weed-dealing Sherpa. In one scene, the former Batman goes on a Dennis Miller-esque rant when he remarks, "The earth is moving. Did you feel that? Everything. All the time. Dimensions we can't even see. Everything is evolving. Turtle, you're a dove."\nThe only complaint about the season's DVD is the lack of special features. Unless you've been dying to hear Turtle dubbed over in French, there is only one feature to be noted. \nAlthough the features section lacks in quantity, it does make up for it in quality. "The Mark Wahlberg Sessions" is a 20-minute behind the scenes look with Wahlberg, the executive producer, as host. \nIn a casual setting, Wahlberg sits down and discusses "Entourage" with the producers, writers and actors and gives the viewer an inside look into the hilarious comedy.\nThe "Sessions" cover everything from the casting of the show to an interview with Johnny Alves, the real life Johnny Drama. Alves goes out of his way to mention that he does not, in fact, have an obsession with men's calves. \nBut the lack of features is compensated by the durability of the 14 episodes. You can watch each episode multiple times and still be entertained. Although it's hard to choose, perhaps the funniest episode of the lot is, "The Bat Mitzvah." In the episode, Vince and the boys attend Ari's daughter's Bat Mitzvah where several storylines intersect. \nAltogether, the 14 hilarious episodes and the "Wahlberg Sessions" makes the three disc DVD a worthy purchase that will leave you hugging out for more.
