Hung *Series Premiere* - "01" - 6/28/09
Spoiler:
Reviews have been mixed. Herc from AICN liked it. Maureen Ryan from the Chicago Tribune didn't, but she compared it to Breaking Bad which she also doesn't like. Tonght's ep is 44 min, it's off next week along with True Blood for 4th of July weekend, and then when it comes back on the 12th it will be in the half hour between True Blood and the new season of Entourage.

My guess is it will have lots of T&A but according to reviews I read, no Dirk Diggler reveals.

Excited to check it out. I worked on the pilot as an extra so wondering if there is a blink and you miss scene of me in the crowd at a high school basketball game.

As with nearly all of HBO's original programming, I plan on tuning in. Alexander Payne directed the pilot, fyi.

Re: Hung *Series Premiere* - "01" - 6/28/09
its only a 30 minutes show (except for the pilot)?
I thought for sure this one would be an hour long show. |

Looking forward to this. Love Thomas Jane.

Re: Hung *Series Premiere* - "01" - 6/28/09
Okay, I LOVED it.
Thomas Jane was great. The characters seem like they can be pretty deep and not just cliches. And the best part "I got a baseball scholarship to the University of Central Florida"

Re: Hung *Series Premiere* - "01" - 6/28/09
I was very disappointed. This brought neither the funny OR the sex. Seems like it's trying to be Californication and it doesn't even come close. I'll check it out one more time on the 12th while waiting for Entourage, but this may be one of those rare HBO shows I just can't get into.

Re: Hung *Series Premiere* - "01" - 6/28/09
I liked it, but I also like anything Jane is in which helps.
I did chuckle when I saw his ex's new husband, was the guy he 'tortured' in The Punisher.

Re: Hung *Series Premiere* - "01" - 6/28/09
Well if I am interested in a premise, I will always give it more than the pilot. I will be tuning in. It was OK, but I definitely think it could get better now that the setup is out of the way.

Poor Thomas Jane. He just wants his kids back.

Wow those kids are some kind of ugly. And man time has not been Ann Heche's friend.

Loved this one...Jane was awesome, excellent use of Detroit and it totally felt like an episode of "Election" the series. I am in for this one.

I too was impressed with this show -- I plan to continue tuning in.

Re: Hung *Series Premiere* - "01" - 6/28/09
Found it pretty boring - not very funny at all - probably the least awesome thing Payne has done IMO. I'll give it a few more eps because I like the cast, but I didn't feel like anyone was particularly good here... and there is no way that Tom Jane and Anne Heche have kids that UGLY together.

Not really. This might work if the lead and his ex-wife were regular lookign people. But they aren't (at least Heche wasn't in her youth). It doesn't work. And it looks like the boy has pumped a gallon of collogen into his lips. Seriously. I was put off by how unattractive these kids were.

Re: Hung *Series Premiere* - "01" - 6/28/09
I think the casting of the kids was maybe my favorite part. You mean not everyone has anorexic runway model children?! But they're on TV?!?!
 Not a big Thomas Jane fan, and this role surprises me a bit, but I think that's why it works. I thought he was great. "Fucker."
