Sopranos & Entourage--new seasons starts April 8

[astrohip]

The next seasons of both The Sopranos and Entourage start Sunday, April 8. Same times as last season. This is the final nine episodes of Sopranos. I haven't heard anything about the future of Entourage (and probably won't till they see how this one does). Can't wait! Two of the best HBO series ever.

I've been watching the entire previous seasons of each as HBO has replayed them over the last several weeks. This week were the episodes where Vito gets offed, and BOB shows up.

Enoturage last part of Seson 3 will be occuring after the Sopranos. Supposedly it will end around June 3rd. On June 17th, it appears the Fourth season of entourage will begin.

Here is part of the text from thefutoncritic.com about the HBO summer schedule. The dates and schedule info for Entourage is from thefutoncritic.com episodes guide (related listings)

HBO ORIGINAL SERIES (HBO) - The pay channel has confirmed its summer schedule (via The New York Times), which will see the network expand to three hours of original programming on its signature night. It all starts on Sunday, June 10 at 9:00/8:00c with the swan song of "The Sopranos." Said finale will lead into the series premiere of David Milch's "John From Cincinnati" at 10:00/9:00c. The following week, on June 17, "John" will slide into the 9:00/8:00c hour where it will be bookended by season two of "Big Love" at 8:00/7:00c and season four (?) of "Entourage" at 10:00/9:00c. Closing out the night then will be newcomer "Flight of the Conchords," a "Curb Your Enthusiasm"-esque comedy about the fictionalized life of the New Zealand folk parody duo of the same name, at 10:30/9:30c. Beyond this summer, look for the serialized comedy "In Treatment" and the relationship dramedy "Tell Me You Love Me" in the fall while fellow newbies "12 Miles of Bad Road" and (potentially) "True Blood" are due in 2008. ("Blood," which is currently casting its pilot, has yet to officially be ordered to series.) And finally, last but certainly not least, look for the final season of "The Wire" and a fresh run of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" sometime in 2008.

Either your interpretation or that info is incorrect. I couldn't actually read what you posted, it was too confusing to understand.

According to HBO's own Entourage website "New Episodes Begin April 8". Direct quote.

Unless the HBO site is wrong, your info is wrong.

New episodes of Entourage begin on April 8th. This is correct. Supposedly, from what i have read, it is the last part of Season 3.

Supposedly the beginning of the next season (Season #4) will start on June 17th (with Big Love, John from Cincinnati, and Flight of the Conchords)

Glad I don't have to wait as long between Entourage seasons this time. HBO's schedule is like only letting crackheads have crack on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. :p

So we're getting what? - like 19 weeks of new episodes of Entourage all in a row?

(assuming season 3B is 9 episodes like Sopranos and season 4 - or 4A - is 10 episodes)

Actually, according to EpGuides.com there are 8 more episodes of Entourage left (12 last summer + 8 now = 20 for season 3). That makes sense since there's 9 Sopranos left... I bet the final Sopranos will be extra-long or have some finale clip-show retrospective or something so no Entourage that night.

That means we'll get season 3B of Entourage thru May 6th.

Then June 17th it starts up again. So there's a little bit of a gap in there, slightly more than what you indicated.
