Where else can you find a show about a guy with a big schlong? Stay classy, HBO. I caught all but the first 10 minutes (so I guess T saw the part I didn't). Thought it was mostly sterile, shot a lot of blanks, and Jane couldn't really get it up as a lead, but it was strangely compelling for some reason. Kind of like cheap porn. Ah, HBO.

Need to find a download source for the latest episodes or I'm back to Bittorrent for them. One thing that bugs me about True Blood is Jason Stackhouse. That kid is THE dumbest redneck in America! The actor that plays him is either brilliant...or THE dumbest redneck in America. LOL! The woman who plays Tara's mother is also grating to the core, and therefore also a very good actress. I tend to fast forward through scenes with her and Tara since that aspect of the show doesn't interest me. Michelle Forbes as Maryann interests me, since she's impressive and also played Miranda Zero in the never-seen Global Frequency show based on the comic book. I've got the pilot for that and really wish that show had been picked up. Plowing through season two of Burn Notice now. Tricia Helfer!

That line alone makes me curious enough to watch another episode. If they can up the count to 3 good lines per episode, they might see a second season. The truth is that it is, like Breaking Bad, another variation on Weeds, Just that in this case the down on is luck middle-aged middle-class main character doesn't is not peddling drugs to make ends meet, but his penis.

That's like going to a baseball game and telling people the game stinks after leaving in the 2nd inning??? Hung is what it is. Nothing earth shattering or mind blowing. Just slightly risque entertainment that pushes the envelope a bit on content and subject. Frankly, I enjoy anything on tv that does that these days. We need another crime procedural like a hole in the head.

The Pilot looked good so ill give it a chance. Hopefully it will be a better Entourage companion then Little Britain USA.
