Back in the summer of 2004, we were trying to get people to watch Entourage. It was coupled with Ali G on HBO on a Sunday night. Couldnt get many to watch either... They only had an 8 episode run each. Now, BOOM and 'Niiiice' are part of conversations you hear in bars.

This song was far and away the smash of the season:
