I watch this show only for the following reasons: the girls, the mansions, Ari and the other agents. In fact you could say I like most aspects of the show other the four douchebags on which the show is centred on.
None of Vince, Turtle, Eric or Drama are likable, in my opinion. Drama is just a whining, terrible actor shamelessly riding the coat-tails of his brother to pick up acting work. Turtle is just this annoying wannabe-homeboy leech, who does nothing other than reel off a few hit and miss jokes at Drama's expense. Vince is just this selfish, lazy and fairly simple movie star. He provides nothing to the show, no humour, no conflict really.
I used to think that Eric was the worst character and I still don't like him, but he is probably the least offensive of the four I would say. Ari is usually great as the pig-headed agent, but even his humour is becoming laboured and needs a fresh direction. I do enjoy his banter with the other agents - Harvey, Dana Gordon etc.
But I would not call this a clever show. Even Ari's character, the almost sole source of humour on the show only gets his laugh by being a loudmouth a-hole reeling off offensive one-liners about gays or his ex-Dana Gordon etc. The only way this show can derive its humour is by being offensive, which is fine really and its good to go along with the ride but its not all that clever.
It is hard for me to judge this show because it is enjoyable but tends to annoy the crap out of me as well. Maybe I should not analyse it so critically and perhaps I should just go along for the ride
