"Entourage" could become the first HBO series to reach its seventh season, but it needs these three things to make it all the way

And while the cameos won't make or break the show, they do add a great touch to it. The guest appearances this season alone are a name-dropper's wet dream.
Mark Wahlberg, Phil Mickelson, Seth Green, Jaime-Lynn Sigler and Eric Roberts each worked perfectly into the script. The best cameo remains as Sigler's (Meadow Soprano) mile-high episode.
At this point, the writers should know this is a man's show. They need to keep targeting it that way.
The more gorgeous women and sex scenes, the more likely the show is to hook in that adolescent - hell, even that 40-year-old man channel surfing on a Sunday night. Plus, they'll keep their faithful viewers happy.
And let's hope Vinny and the rest have a good travel agent. Some of the best episodes are the ones where we tag along for the vacation.
The season three Vegas jaunt when Connolly's Eric rumbled with Seth Green and this season's Winnebago outing to Joshua Tree were each welcomed diversions. Maybe a trip to Manhattan and Queens is in the future?
It'd be awesome to romp around with the boys in their old stomping grounds. We could meet old friends and, more importantly, old flames. But it would take a major plot line to get the show to the Big Apple.
End the season well.
Season finales flop when nothing happens. And with a poor finale, fewer viewers make the jump to the next season. But so far "Entourage" hasn't had that problem.
The season finales have been hands-down terrific, all ending with a bang.
We've already talked about season four's finale, where "Medellin" went down in smoke, but season three ended with a bombshell, too; Vinny fired Ari.
Did you really expect Vinny to walk out on Miller-Gold like that? I didn't.
HBO, keep up the good work. Surprise us and give us a reason to watch next year.
It doesn't have to be "Lost"-esque and leave us wondering, "is it my imagination or did the world just end?"
But it should definitely carry us and the momentum into next season.
