Dumbest show on HBO-this or Entourage??

I'm not sure which one gets my vote of the dumbest show on HBO - past/present- this one or Entourage. The latter had Ari and a couple strong female characters but the premise is still the same - a bunch of dumb jocks drving expensive cars, surrounded by bimbos whose sole purpose in life is to serve their male masters whim and fancy. And the jocks pretend to cut "deals" that make little sense unless it were done by 5 year olds. Perhaps the shows aims for people with that kind of mental development!

But I admit I keep coming back to it t see how much dumber it gets and it never lets me down! :)

I feel the exact same way. Every few minutes on this show
comes something that is unreal, or ridiculous, or mean, or
criminal. Yet, there is some good stuff in the background
that is kind of cool and that I like to watch.

So, when I subscribe to HBO and I have the time with nothing
else to watch I will often remember "Ballers" and check it
out.

It's kind of a combination between a game show, product placement,
and capitalism rah-rah drivel.

I was surprised the other day when Elizabeth Warren proclaimed
this was her favorite TV show. And on Season 5, which is I guess
their last season, Spenser/Johnson is sitting on a beach reading
Elizabeth Warren's book.

I think Warren could win the Presidency against Trump handily
if she made Johnson her running mate.
