Yeah, its about a dude with a big dick

But Thomas Jane is badass and the previews look good

Starts in a few weeks I think...hopefully it can be at least half as good as EBAD

6/11/2009 3:33:47 PM

I saw this on the HBO website the other day, it looks intriguing...there's no way it'll be as good as EB&D though

6/11/2009 3:41:05 PM

where's my lawyer

6/12/2009 11:40:05 AM

This is the dumbest premise for a show I've ever heard.

6/12/2009 5:20:17 PM

6/12/2009 6:50:24 PM

I'll try it out. The pilot is directed by Alexander Payne.

Trailer on http://www.hbo.com/hung/

Starts on June 28th.

6/17/2009 3:03:22 AM

Premiered last night and I enjoyed it.

What did everyone else think? I didn't see it in the Punisher, but Thomas Jane looks a lot like Aaron Eckhart.

Should be good though, I set my DVR for it.

6/29/2009 9:53:22 AM

i dvred it, but hadn't watched it yet

will get back to you with results

6/29/2009 10:13:31 AM

^same. I tried to stay up after True Blood, but couldn't make it. I plan to watch it tonight.

6/29/2009 10:15:04 AM

oops...dp

I stuck around after True Blood to watch it and wasn't disappointed that I did. BTW who does everyone think the person in the hotel room slipping him the notes was?

6/29/2009 12:16:32 PM

Anyone know if this show hit On Demand this morning like all the others? Cuz if so, I'll watch it tonight.

6/29/2009 12:19:41 PM

^^it would be funny, but too predictable, if it was his ex-wife.

I have a feeling we'll find out soon and may be someone from his school.

6/29/2009 1:27:46 PM

just watched it....looks like a show I could get into

and i've mentioned 100X before that i could do his profession/

6/29/2009 2:26:11 PM

I thought the first episode was pretty horrible. I hate shows that are depressing and this show made me want to off myself with a quickness.

I'll probably watch a couple more episodes to see if things turn around, but if it doesn't do a complete 180, I won't make myself suffer through it for too long. I have a bad habit of watching HBO shows regardless of how bad they are just because they're HBO (as evidenced by the fact that I watched the entire runs of Lucky Louie and John from Cincinnati) but I don't think I can take much more of this show if the rest of the episodes are as bad as the first.

6/29/2009 3:27:58 PM

lucky louie was pretty damn funny

dvr'd , will watch after work....but HBO is pretty good with their series, I can't name a bad one, theres just been ones I don't watch (Flight of the Concord and Deadwood are first to mind, which are typically held in high esteem)

6/29/2009 5:14:10 PM

Louie CK's standup was (is) funny. His show was just awful.

6/29/2009 6:48:11 PM

the black keys song during the opening credits was a nice touch

6/29/2009 7:45:32 PM

I really enjoyed it and think it will only get better

for the hotel note slipper, school coworker would be good...but I think it's probably someone closer to him than that that we maybe haven't even met yet...or we have and it's someone like his daughter (yeah I went there) or mother-in-law. Ex-wife is just a bit too predictable.

6/29/2009 10:09:24 PM

the first ep was really boring, ill stick around for a couple more to see if it changes

6/29/2009 11:12:35 PM

wife and i watched it last night and really liked it

7/1/2009 8:08:46 AM

"fucker"

should be used more often

7/1/2009 2:45:12 PM

So for all these people that are saying you enjoyed the show, what did you like about it?

If I had to describe the show, I would say it was about a guy who's life had taken a downturn and now completely sucked at every aspect. And in an effort to make it better, he tried to be a male prostitute, but he (as of yet) couldn't even manage to get that right. So he can't even get the one thing he's got going for him to work. There wasn't anything funny, although I realize it's not supposed to be a comedy, so I won't hold the lack of humor against it, but it wasn't even really drama filled either. It was just a show about a guy who has a shitty life. I really am having a hard time trying to find anything redeeming about it. So for the people that did like it, did you just like how everything got set up for there to be potential funny/interesting things to happen in the future, or did you actually find enjoyment out of the content provided in the first ep?

7/1/2009 3:14:55 PM

What I liked about it was that I found myself rooting for a person, who once seemed to have everything going for him, only to have everything taken away. In order to try and put his life back together, he finds the only way to do so is through unconventional means that many deem as taboo. But as it is his only "asset" he has to work with, you find yourself rooting for him anyway. It reminds me a lot of the movie "The Wrestler," which I really liked.

7/1/2009 3:37:42 PM

My biggest complaint is that they can't show it back to back with Deadwood. That would be a goldmine of immature comments.

I'm hopeful that it will pick up. I've been a fan of Thomas Jane since I saw Stander years ago.

7/1/2009 3:39:40 PM

Watched it last night and enjoyed it. Will watch again.

7/1/2009 3:50:09 PM

i liked the guy's attitude; now he's at rock bottom. i want to see where he goes from here. maybe i'm drafting off potential and it'll burn me in the end, but it seems like a good gamble. and i thought there was a lot of subtle humor; nothing quotable.

7/1/2009 3:51:53 PM

So i thought there was supposed to be a new episode last night. Did i hear incorrectly?

[Edited on July 6, 2009 at 1:18 PM. Reason : in]

7/6/2009 1:18:01 PM

^ i don't think hbo was showing new episodes of anything last night

7/6/2009 1:35:05 PM

^Correct. It was three episodes of True Blood, then the pilot of Hung.

7/6/2009 2:03:29 PM

ah ok, i dont watch TB so i just flipped over to Hung at 10.

7/6/2009 2:12:10 PM

My guess is the person in the hotel was no one. I felt like it was just to point out his way of going about things was inadequate. But then again I could be wrong.

7/7/2009 4:50:51 PM

True, but would be more interesting if it turned out to be someone who knows him.

Its like Homeless Dad but with a big cock.

"I just want my kids back!"

7/8/2009 12:56:01 AM

New episode starts in an hour! Pretty pumped for it

7/12/2009 9:02:56 PM

how lame would this show get if tanya ended up having feelings for ray or even vice versa? i really hope this show doesn't take such a predictable path. other than that, i really think this show has potential.

7/12/2009 11:16:13 PM

^ not going to happen. she's not hot enough for that to be plausible/entertaining.

this show is ftmfw though

7/12/2009 11:34:41 PM

yah tonight was definitely a solid episode

7/13/2009 12:09:20 AM

In a bizarre twist, the first 'customer' will return at the end of the season, revealing something crazy.

also:

7/13/2009 12:34:25 AM

This episode didn't suck nearly as much as the first one, but it was still pretty damn bad. I think I'm done with this show. I really want to like it, but I just don't see it happening.

The actors they got to play his kids have got to be two of the most ugly people in show business. I wonder what significance there is in filling those two roles with those mutant looking freaks.

7/13/2009 1:19:41 AM

i think they are ugly, but well cast. It helps show the extremely large disconnect that they have towards their superficial, attractive mother and their once upon a time all-star athlete father.

7/13/2009 8:11:29 AM

yeah i really enjoyed this episode. and ^ is right about the kids...i think it's great. and the mom getting botox in the kitchen, aiyiyiyi

7/13/2009 8:35:46 AM

I really almost shit myself when he said that.

I dig the show. It's pretty funny and was interesting enough to get me invested in watching the rest of the story. I don't know what El Nacho expects, the show delivers pretty much what I expected it to. Of course it is going to be a bit of a downer, but it also brought the lulz.

7/13/2009 10:57:36 AM

We watched the first episode On Demand last night. Hopefully we can watch Episode 2 tonight. I liked it!

7/13/2009 11:07:00 AM

For some reason Tom Jane makes me laugh regardless of what he's doing or saying. Not sure what it is.

7/13/2009 11:07:59 AM

has anyone said "i just want my kids back" yet?

7/13/2009 11:58:00 AM

Yeah, Tom Jane's character did.

7/13/2009 11:59:57 AM

i lost it when he said that. "calm down Tom Jane"

7/13/2009 1:09:34 PM

the song during the credits of last nites episode is hilarious

7/13/2009 3:26:34 PM

Mickey Avalon - My Dick
