HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

So are you? Watching?

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.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

: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.

:tpd:

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??".

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

Hey, by the way, what's with this?

saw that last night. free graffiti marketing? :r

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

I agree...first two episodes were on...last night, not even close!!!

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

I really enjoyed the first two.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

Ooooh. I'll have to check this out. :)

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

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

:D

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

:r :r :r holee crap that was funny

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

:r:r:r

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

Same here. I hope it turns around.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

Agreed. It has hope.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

About the only thing this show has got going for it is the song played during the opening credits. Given that, it seems to be picking up a bit. I am giving it one more week.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

Episode seven was boring.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

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.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

Oh yeah, totally forgot....totally agree; same here.

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

I like the "client" too, and have the whole "neighbor" fantasy playing in my head now. :r

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

Remind me never to knock on your door, Tom. So to speak.

:r:r:r

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

At least not if you look like Ray's lonely neighbor. ;)

Re: HUNG - Are you? (HBO)
 

:tpd:

Can't wait for season four of Dexter.
