I am in a mood

Nobody believes my complaints about everybody on Entourage constantly, excessively addressing each other by name, so I sampled a random episode ("Manic Monday") and here was the count:

Ari 19 (!)
Vince/Vinny 7
Amanda 6
Eric/E 6
Lloyd 5
Rob 4
Babs 3
Johnny/Drama 3
Turtle 2

I bet anything this episode actually contained statistically aberrantly FEW instances for the 3 entourage members (and for Vince). YES THEY HAVE CUTE NICKNAMES - WE GET IT - NOW PLEASE BEHAVE NATURALLY.

That's FIFTY-FIVE name mentions in 22 minutes. I challenge anyone to secretly keep track of people addressing each other by name during 22 minutes of normal real-life conversation. If it happens more than 5 times, I will eat my hat.

I did start noticing that they have this problem on FRINGE too, especially with Walter.
