Will Vincent Chase and Co. come out on top? Jason Zingale previews the eighth and final season of the HBO comedy series.

His portrayal of super-agent (and, quite often, super-asshole) Ari Gold has earned Jeremy Piven three Emmys.

In part because of her work as Eric Murphy's on-again, off-again love interest, Chriqui's star has been on the rise for years.

While Sloan's the kind of girl you'd expect would ignore most guys, there's not a single diva bone in her body.

If the shot-callers at HBO were uncertain whether the next season of "Entourage" should be its last, then this season pretty much confirmed it. What started out as another promising year quickly turned into a rehash of Season Five.

Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara really shined in some of the season's best subplots, while the emergence of Ari Gold's softer side allowed Jeremy Piven to inject a little humility into his performance.

This isn't the same show that debuted on HBO four years ago. But after watching Vince, Eric and Ari struggle, strive and progress over the years, we'd argue that's a good thing.

Sunday nights just wouldn't feel the same without a little 'Entourage' in our lives.

Fans of the show know 'Entourage' wouldn't survive without the caustic Ari, so heading into April's fourth season, the question isn't if, but when Vinny and Eric reunite with Ari.

Everything is once again right with the world: Vince is sharing the spotlight with his boys, Eric's having threesomes, and Ari is the biggest, and funniest, prick on TV.

In short, it could've been a better second season for "Entourage," but it could've been much worse. And for that, HBO can thank Piven.

Loosely based on the experiences of executive producer Mark Wahlberg during his Funky Bunch days, 'Entourage' succeeds on the strength of its exceptional writing, not surprising since 'Seinfeld' vet Larry Charles penned several episodes.
