I've read multiple interviews/articles with guys in the industry, one of the things i've seen asked a handful of times is how accurate a show like Entourage is/was to how the business in Hollywood is, and they mention that a lot of it is very accurate. And i'm referring more to what Ari goes through.

I've heard Jeremy Piven really isn't that far off from Ari but that's about it.

The almighty Metsox knows all Vidae. How do you not know this?
Also I enjoyed Revolution. Esposito is obviously awesome and the show itself is fun and enjoyable. Plenty of inconsistencies and what not, but I still very much enjoy it.

I'm pretty sure the creators are making HIMYM intentionally awful this season in an attempt to get it canceled.

Yeah, the ratings are good. For shows like this, if it was going to tank in the ratings it would have done so by now.

Yeah pretty much. I'm surprised it jumped so much though. Anything above a 3.0 is amazing for NBC so I'm sure they're loving this.

The game show plot was stolen from every other sitcom ever, and it made absolutely no sense as Ted would be the only good parent between the three. Just lazy.

It's been obvious that they've been stalling for the last few seasons, but they've run out of ideas now.

the show is essentially a satire of the actual NBC network at this point: ending it's best shows while driving itself into the ground after the Comcast buyout

Which is why it's so amusing this season. That and God Cop was the best thing ever.

It used to be good! Until the characters who were interesting became caricatures of themselves.

30 Rock isn't as good as when it first aired, but it's still a very high quality show.

Maybe you should go overpraise a show that ended with "God did it" some more.
