It's hard to think of a show better suited to summer viewing than HBO's "Entourage," which wrapped up its sixth season Sunday night with Vince and his brother heading off to Italy.
I've been hearing griping from some long-time "Entourage" fans that not much happened this season. But slowly, over the dozen episodes, we've been seeing the boys growing apart and maybe, just maybe, growing up a tiny bit.
"Entourage" has always seemed like the male version of HBO's "Sex and the City." That show looked at the world through the eyes of young professional women, and always seemed to have a serious undertone.
Not "Entourage." It's strictly a male fantasy about a bunch of boys who never grow up led by a movie star who gets pretty much whatever he wants. There were few major challenges this season, and plenty of the reflected glow of Hollywood. The oddest subplot involved Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and an unlikely romance for the pudgy member of movie star Vince (Adrian Grenier) Chase's crew with Jamie-Lynn Sigler playing her post-"Sopranos" self. In the end, Turtle was left a free agent.
One of the members of Vince's "Entourage," Eric Murphy (Kevin Connolly) spent the season pursuing his old girlfriend, Sloan, and appears to have finally got her.
But at the end of it all, the plot developments aren't as important as the show's vibe. Sunday's episode featured cameos by Matt Damon, Bono and Lebron James, to give the whole thing a feel of unreal Hollywood reality.
Yes, there will be a seventh season. And it should be a nice, cool refresher when we need it next summer.
KEEPING HIS WORD: Steve Cochran, who does the afternoon shift on Chicago's WGN-AM (720) was so convinced that the 2016 Summer Olympics were coming that he vowed he'd synchronize swim with himself to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" outside the Michigan Avenue studio if some other city got the games.
His wacky radio stunt is planned for today's show, which starts at 4 p.m.
ON TV: "Reality" TV star Kate Gosselin started her media counter-offensive on NBC's "Today" this morning, charging estranged hubby Jon Gosselin with cleaning out a joint bank account. "I didn't want to discuss this stuff," she told Meredith Vieira as she went on to discuss this stuff. You can watch the interview below.
THE STARS DANCE MUCH LATER: Channel 12's pickup of ESPN's "Monday Night Football" for the Packers-Vikings means that ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" has been displaced. It's scheduled to air at 2:06 a.m. Monday night/Tuesday morning. But if you're recording it, extend the time just in case.
Monday's other prime-time ABC show, "Castle," is scheduled to air at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Thought this season of "Entourage" was very, very good. There was character development and less grab for sitcom-type laughs. Some, I realize, don't like this .... but if a show is going to last long term viewers need to relate to the characters. This season, I thought the many of the characters finally became a bit real -- Lloyd, Turtle, even Eric. Finale was awesome. Big star power and feel good. Great TV.

I was very happy for Lloyd. Can't wait to see him as a full-fledged agent in Season 7. I also don't think the Ari/Terrence Feud is over. It can't be? Damon plays a really good dick.

Nobody cares about pretty boy Vince and his 3 dwarves anymore. What we need is more Ari, Mrs. Ari and Lloyd.
