WATCHING? (what'd 'ya think I was asking??)

So are you? Watching?

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

I guess it's HBO's answer to SHOWTIME's 'Weeds'.

I just watched my first episode yesterday and I liked it. It feels like familiar territory...here's this unassuming gal in this role where she's working hard to make an indecent living...

In 'Weeds', she's selling pot....in 'HUNG', she's a pimp.

Yep, and he's the Ho. (there's a big billboard on my way in to work on Santa Monica Blvd. showing a pic of him and her and underneath each in big words 'Ho' and 'Pimp', respectively)

Interesting switchup, engaging enough...I already set my DVR to record the series, at least up until 'Californication' is back....

SEPTEMBER, baby! Can't wait.

Great series! Funny stuff... Thomas Jane is great as the reluctant man-hoe!

I was interested after the first 2 episodes, but last night's just wasn't that entertaining. They need to pick it up soon or they will lose me as a viewer.

:tpd:
The idea behind this series has been compelling enough for me to watch so far, but I think I'm gonna lose interest in this one before too long.

It looks like next weeks show should have a little more substance. Last night was a waste of a show.. 20 minutes in I said to myself, "are they going to do anything other then look for the man's wallet??".

I'm with Tom. Better pick up or I'll just go smoke a cigar while I wait for Entourage.

I missed last night's episode, but I've found the first two funny.

I've not watched any yet, but was planning on watching the first couple on on-demand tonight.

I really enjoyed the first two.

I didn't like the first two, to be frank.

Although that could be my insecurities talking ... :rolleyes:

If I'm in the mood for something over-the-top, I tune in to Nurse Jackie on Showtime.......................funny stuff!

Nurse Jackie - I have to check that out...

Hahahaha - Actually, you're off the mark Greg, on both counts....

The thread title is HUNG (the t.v. show) - not DUNNG!

2 subpar episodes in a row... I don't know if I will be sticking around for the next one. They might have lost me after last night. I just thank god they didn't show "Molly" naked.

I think last night was better than episode 3, but you're right Christos, it just isn't that entertaining. I will give it one last chance.

mrreindeer

I've got to find time this week to catch up on last night.

Same here. I hope it turns around.

I watched episode 3 last night. Wasn't spectacular, but it did drive the story along. Plot and character development is critical. I think they'll have to hurry up and pick up on some action though.

It was interesting enough tonight that I didn't cancel my TiVo subscription...hopefully this trend towards improving continues.

The show definitely took some small steps in the right direction..

I'm a week behind. Just watched episode 4. I liked it. Sounds as if episode 5 picks up a little, huh?

About the only thing this show has got going for it is the song played during the opening credits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZJLi0f0ZIA). Given that, it seems to be picking up a bit. I am giving it one more week.

If you liked episode 4 (I did not), you will love episode 5, Andy. :r

I'm with you Tom. Just a way to burn a half hour waiting for Entourage as far as I'm concerned.

Yup...though last night gave me a little hope it might get better, Al. :)

I've been pleasantly surprised with the show. The concept behind it is both original and edgy. I agree it lagged a little weeks 3 and 4 but I think they had to develop Ray's character a little.

Starscream

Episode seven was boring.

Been watching this and enjoy it. Not to threadjack,,,I enjoy Dexter more than the other shows on TV.

So far it has not been good enough to recommend to my friends, but not been bad enough for me to cancel my TiVo subscription.

mrreindeer

08-18-2009, 09:22 AM

Agree, Tom....not sure why I liked it on Sunday...but I did. That f'd up gal (the 'John') is pretty hot too, maybe that's why I watched.

Neighbor was great, and I've been waiting for that moment since they introduced her! I won't stop everything to watch this but it's good enough to record and watch later if I have time.
