Entourage would be a much better show if they’d roll the credits first
Posted on September 2nd, 2009 by Mike under Pop culture, musicEntourage could go off the air tomorrow without a whimper, and I wouldn’t be the least bit broken up about it. It used to be one of my favorite shows. A great antidote for a feeble mind on a Sunday (i.e. a show where no problem can’t be solved in under 8 minutes). Even the most lethargic of Lazy Sunday routines have an expiration date, I suppose. Now, we just watch Mad Men in the same state, and are left pondering every wacky thing that Peggy Olson does.
Where Entourage continues to thrive and excel however, is the end credits. I don’t mean that in a snide “thank god that 22 minute show is finally over, hyuck hyuck” sort of way. More specifically, the music the producers select for the fade to black – whether they put much thought into it or not – always delivers.
Check out my top-10 Entourage end hits below – including three gems from this current season – and let’s hope that, for the next 1-5 seasons that they prolong this show, HBO reverts to a format where you get to jam to the credits, see if the very brusque Bob Saget is making another filthy guest appearance, and then should you choose, opt-in to watch the actual episode.

They should cut the show to just the credits for maximum goodness.

I think you missed 5 songs Curly that should be on this list:
1) Kanye West – “Good Life”: This was at the end of the episode when they fly with Kanye to Cannes. You have to remember Graduation wasn’t out yet and this was a world premiere for the song.
2) Radiohead – “Fake Plastic Trees”: The episode where Ari was going to be named head of the studio.
3)Obie Trice – “Since They Wanna Know”: The Sundance episode. That song was a banger and you couldn’t find it anywhere online for a good 6 months after the episode aired.
4) Robin Thicke – “Dreamworld”: Second to last episode in season 5 when Smoke Jumpers is killed. Great song.
5)Gangstarr – “Work”: Season 1 when Vince leases the car and doesn’t have any money. Banger.

Casey, the song is “Can’t Keep No Good Boy Down” by The Parlor Mob. Just to avoid confusion.

Good list of songs. Even the last season, which was a bit substandard for the show, was made bearable by the music.
