Are ITV trying to kill Entourage?
After dispatching David Letterman, it seems ITV are doing their best to destroy another prime property. Entourage started last year on ITV2 at 10pm with a campaign run on the main network and in cinemas. When this garnered them some success they decided to run the second series straight away. And show it on ITV at the same time. Never mind that viewers to ITV had never seen season one, never mind it making any sense or anything.
So then we had the Christmas break, and no new episodes for several weeks. Presumably its far more important to show endless old Stallone movies. So now it's back. At midnight. On a Sunday. On ITV2. If you were watching on ITV, forget it. You have been left high and dry halfway through the series. Maybe you'll get some season three episodes in eighteen months time.
Why does ITV always do this? Why buy a prime property like this and then treat it so badly. Presumably it's ITV4 next and then it will get dropped. Thanks very much ITV.

In fairness to ITV, those Stallone movies do seem to be reliable performers (why else did the BBC, and now ITV's channels, show "Cliffhanger" seemingly every other week while Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" was shown on ITV once in 1993, I think, and hasn't been screened since?)
The "Entourage" business does demonstrate why someone invented DVD box sets...
Why is Cliffhanger on so often? There do seem to be certain films on all the time.....
Oh, so THAT'S where it went. I lost it entirely in the schedules, and had to torrent the rest of the second series - yep, ITV3 made me do something illegal. I love entourage, it's like Swingers for 2007
