How To Make It in America 2/5

I wanted to love this show. Affable dudes, the network that saved TV, and NYC; what's not to like? Right? Unfortunately, my response is everything, save the casting and killer opening credits. Like the demanding Old Testament master, HBO needs to take the talents allocated to this misguided, stale and, worst of all, slow-witted East coast Entourage, a show that I will ardently defend even it's quality has ebbed in old age, and give them to its more industrious servant Bored to Death, which was, at times, amazing during its ridiculously short season. Three episodes is a more than fair trial, but let me know if this show pulls up on the stick because I'm dying for it to not suck.

Aloe Blacc's track is backed by the always awesome band El Michels Affair. Truth & Soul is releasing the album sometime in 2010. Here's hoping it's more soul than rap and shells out the "Bobby Womack whimsy" I didn't get from Mayer Hawthorne.
