Entourage: Hair
Season 7, Episode 6
Turtle has trouble sealing the deal with his new girlfriend, Ari tries to fend off a lawsuit, and Eric tries to manage Vince's terrific new job offer as the star's self-destructive streak deepens. The discussion about female grooming patterns became surprisingly interesting when the "professional", Sasha Grey, entered the swimming pool and subverted all previous discussions. The cliffhanger ending would have meant more had they not included Vince on the preview for next week's show. Rob Morrow and Carla Gugino were terrific as Ari's lawyer and Ari's rival, respectively.

Hung: Beaverland
Season 2, Episode 6
My winner of the least subtle metaphor of the year. Jessica finds a beaver in her basement and tries to get Ray to capture it since her current husband (Ronnie) won't deal with the "beaver problem". Elsewhere, Ray has trouble making his latest client happy which adds to the recent emasculating event where another client preferred his balding, overweight colleague (Mike) to him. Just as Ray is doubting his abilities, Lenore shows up at his door, ready for action. The writing was almost back on track with interesting interplay and history between Ray, Jessica, Ronnie, and Lenore. The emasculation of Ray is an interesting direction to take the show. B

Love Eric and Scott. You're just pining for Quiz Show with Morrow as a lawyer.
You got me. I was so close to include "Quiz Show" in the brief write-up, but decided to keep it as brief as possible. Still love Quiz Show - not flashy, but superbly written.
I see Scott getting canned at the end of the season for insubordination. He should become a regular.
