The third season of HBO's inside-showbiz comedy kicks off with a familiar anxiety for Tinseltown's best: your film's opening-weekend box office. In the case of Vince (Adrian Grenier) and company, it's Aquaman, Vince's big break that took up most of last season and elevated the group to even bigger perks and tchotchkes. Luckily, the numbers are good (creator Doug Ellin reveals in the commentary that the episode was inspired by his friend who was with Tobey Maguire when he first heard Spider-Man's opening numbers) and Vince uses the leverage to chase his dream project, a biopic of Pablo Escobar called Medellin. But first he has to schmooze the film's eccentric producer who's strangely attached to his Shrek doll (Bruno Kirby, in his last role before his death in 2006) and juggle scheduling conflicts with the Aquaman sequel, which leads to an ego war with Warner studio chief Allen Grey (Paul Ben-Victor). Meanwhile, Turtle's (Jerry Ferrara) management of upstart rapper Saigon takes some sharp turns; Eric (Kevin Connolly) finds his relationship with Sloan (Emmanuelle Chiriqui) on shaky ground; and Johnny "Drama" Chase (Kevin Dillon) gets to audition for a television pilot directed by Ed Burns (playing himself). But the overarching storyline for season 3 involves Vince's agent Ari Gold (Emmy winner Jeremy Piven), who was canned last season by his agency. Taking his flamboyant, hilarious assistant Lloyd (Rex Lee) with him, Ari goes about setting up his own firm, but not before drawing fire from the mafia of other agents and threatening his relationship with star client Vince. The only weak storyline involves an old childhood pal (Domenick Lombardozzi), fresh out of prison, trying to nudge his way into Vince's gang. But otherwise the show's inside look at the baptism of the newly famous continues to tickle the funny bone.

As usual, Entourage sprinkles in cameos, including Crash director Paul Haggis hilariously playing himself as a wound-up neurotic ("If I let contracts run my life, I'd still be doing The Facts of Life rather than hanging with my boys," he says as he points to his Oscars). James Woods filches Aquaman premiere tickets for his friends, and Seth Green gets in a rumble with Eric in the episode "Vegas Baby Vegas." Extras are still scant: just three commentaries and a featurette on their Vegas-location episode. --Ellen A. Kim

Victory!!!
Best season so far. Don't be fooled by the `Part 1' tag, you are still getting the same number of shows as the first 2 DVD sets. These episodes have great cameos (Seth Green was hilarious) and they built up to a good break in the story. It was very satisfying as a stand alone season, so who really cares if HBO wants to call Season 4, "Season 3, Part 2?" I can't wait for `Part 2.'

This series just keeps getting better
The third season may very well be my favorite so far. Not to imply that the other seasons aren't great. We left off last season with Vince getting ready to shoot Aquaman and now we're back after the movie has wrapped and is ready to premiere. This season has character development in spades and the cast are given equal screen time to shine (save for Debi Mazur who's pregnant this season). To go into detail would ruin the experience.

Another of my favorite aspects of this show are the amount of locations. This show shoots all over Hollywood and you get to see a lot of it in this season, from the Aquaman premiere in west LA, to the Warner and Universal lots, to a house party in Encino, this show is always on the move. We even catch a glimpse of Vince in the Aquaman movie at the Santa Monica pier. Best of all is when the boys hit Vegas and bump into Seth Green and his entourage. By far my favorite cameo. Other notables are James Woods, Paul Haggis and Ed Burns.

Overall, a very entertaining show with a continually developing storyline. It's very funny, with plenty of industry inside jokes, but it's also got some great drama(and I don't mean Johnny, but he's good too.) Despite it being Part 1, it's got an excellent cliffhanger ending to reel you in for more. I caught the new episode tonight and it's hard to wait week to week instead of one after another on dvd, the way this show is meant to be watched, like one long movie. Can't get enough of this show.

Season 3, Part 1 is Awesome.
I recently purchased Entourage Season 3, Part 1 from a BJ's Wholesale Club on 3.6.2007 and as it seems it's not supposed to of been sold until April. This dvd is Amazing, and don't be worried about it being a part 1. This dvd box set pretty much leads right up to the next episode that will be aired in April it has 12 episodes on the discs just 2 episodes short of the amount on Season 2 Box set and 4 more than the season 1 box set. This show is amazing.
