Trivia:

Creator John Koch claims that he doesn't know where Ari's famous "let's hug it out bitch" originated. The line is, in fact, something Jeremy Piven made up. In his previous TV show "Cupid" (1998), 15 minutes into episode 1.05 (First Loves), Piven's character is seen in a limousine yelling, "That's right good citizens, it's International Hug a Stranger Day! It's time to hug it out, you little freak!"

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the opening credit sequence, the shot with Adrian Grenier's name has been flopped. His name appears normal while the lettering of the other signs is backwards.

Quotes:

Johnny Drama: His tears will basically act as the lubricant.

Movie Connections:

Referenced in "Ugly Betty: Pilot (#1.1)" (2006)

Soundtrack:

Look for this one to go the distance.

There is no doubt in my mind that the most interesting shows have came out of cable in the last two years and this one is no exception. This show revolves on the life of a movie star and his entourage that consists of 3 friends and an agent (played brilliantly by Jeremy piven) If I have to sum up this show in one sentence it would be:

Larry sanders meets sex and the city.

since it revolves around tinsel town it has endless plot possibilities, and its always interesting to see more of the back stage of the movie business especially when it feel like the real deal as the old Larry sanders show did for late night talk shows.

I Highly recommend giving this one a chance, it might turn out to be the dark horse of the season.
