HBO Sunday Night - 7/18/10

Entourage: Dramedy
Season 7, Episode 3

Vince bonds with Scott further, Turtle's financial woes continue, and Drama gets on the fast track for his own sitcom. Jeff Garlin was terrific as an exuberant, gay screenwriter. The show got all meta as Kevin Dillon protests how funny he is. This episode will no doubt the one they submit to Emmy voters for Dillon, who was hilarious (especially the way he said "Stamos!?"). The Ari part was lazily written (how many times did we need to hear about his wife busting him with the other woman - we saw it last week), but the worst scene (which was coincidentally the most obviously written) featured Sloan and Eric having dinner, which is a momentum-killer if I ever saw one. I am loving the Scott-Eric rivalry though. B+

Hung: Mind Bullets
Season 2, Episode 3

The heartless Lenore keeps winning mind games over the sensitive Tanya until Tanya loses it. Lenore immediately replacing her dog gave a great visual and was a perfect representation of the difference between the 2. Lenore finally meeting Jessica was another great moment. But the horny Patty scenes weren't funny, just disgusting. I'm liking the way Ray is trying to bond with his kids and their development this season. And Charlie is a great addition to the ensemble. B+

I liked the serious scene with Ari and his wife in the kitchen at his house - good family writing and drama. Agreed that Eric's life is super boring.

I used to love Ari's wife but she's been a one-dimensional hag so far this season.
