Trivia:

It is mentioned several times throughout the show, that Jake Gyllenhaal has taken over the role that Vince had in "Aquaman" in its sequel. This refers to Gyllenhal almost taking over the role of Spider-Man from Tobey Maguire in the sequel (Spider-Man 2 (2004)) after Maguire suffered from a back injury and almost became unavailable to perform the required stunts for the movie. It is also worth noting that "Aquaman" is directed by James Cameron, who was attached to direct Spider-Man (2002) for a long time before Sam Raimi was hired.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the opening credit sequence, the shot with Adrian Grenier's name has been flipped. His name appears normal while the lettering of the other signs is backwards.

Quotes:

Ari Gold: That was a good speech, Lloyd. If I was 25 and liked cock, we could be something.

Cool

With a full season now out of the way, as a whole, I am definitely impressed with what I've seen over the last 8 weeks. I like all five of the main characters and believe all the actors to have done a good job at portraying these guys. A special nod, of course, goes out to Piven for what he's done with Ari and the same for Kevin Dillon as Drama. I realize a lot of people don't buy Grenier as 'Vinny' (to quote Ari), but I think he plays him well. Same with Ferrara as Turtle. This guy may act like a loud-mouth goof ball most of the time he's in front of the camera, but I definitely see Queens coming from him. And then there's Eric, the "cynic" of the group. He may be cynical, but he's also very practical and seems to be the sole reason that things haven't fallen apart up at the mansion. He keeps them all in line and makes the decisions for Vince. A very cool character indeed.

Doug Ellin, a guy I had never heard of before this show came on, along with Larry Charles, formally of Seinfeld, both write the lights out in this one and deserve much of the credit for its ability to appeal. I will admit that during the early trailers I was bit skeptical, but am now a definite fan. Good writing equals greater success.
