I usually take a Pixar-like approach to new HBO shows and assume they;re automatically good unless they beat me into submission otherwise (which has only happened one time), so I;m willing to ignore that their new show Hung appears to be a higher-budget, Schneider-less tv version of Deuce Bigalow. Thomas Jane is likable, but can he carry a tv series (besides Homeless Dad)? The title Hung is also uncharacteristically HBO-stupid, and with the internet (and the fact that I;m long-removed from age twelve), I no longer rely on occasional tv softcore sex scenes for anything, so I;m more skeptical about this show than usual, but Eastbound getting renewed bought this channel a free five years of my non-judgment, so I;ll stay open-minded:
