Ugh, come on people. Look, I like How I Met Your Mother, I really do. But the writing on that show can be fucking painfully horrid, particularly any of the "dramatic" writing. Many times I've found myself wincing at some of the crap that I've seen on that show, even if I do love it and watch it every week.
Entourage has never made me feel that way. When it's funny, it is DAMN funny (how the fuck can you not love the episode where they go into the desert to trip on mushrooms with ERIC FREAKIN' ROBERTS?) and when it's dramatic, it's actually dramatic. That and it's brought us one of the greatest characters of all time in television, Ari Gold.
Come on people, I know everyone loves HIMYM, but seriously, the show can be painfully bad sometimes. In fact if it weren't for the great cast, I'm fairly certain that show would be a massive flop and not funny in the slightest bit. Seriously, would there be any reason whatsoever to watch this show if it didn't have NPH and Jason Segel on it? I don't think so.
Vote for Entourage everyone, I implore you! HIMYM is a decent way to pass thirty minutes, but Entourage is absolutely inspiring stuff, everyone I've ever talked to who has seen it has said the same thing: it inspires you to want to get up, go out and become successful in the world of Hollywood.
Vote for Entourage damnit!
