"Hung" up at HBO

Backed by a memorably suggestive ad campiagn, the pilot episode of the new HBO comedy “Hung,” directed by executive producer Alexander Payne MFA ’90, was an immediate hit for the cable channel, quoth “Daily Variety:”

HBO has reason to be pleased with the premiere of "Hung" (1.4/4 in 18-49, 2.83m), which became the net's most-watched series preem in two years.

Who knew that when HBO announced it was green-lighting a series called “Hung” about, let’s see, a well-endowed man, it would end up being kind of endearing? It’s also funny, which is good since “Hung” is a comedy. And it’s unexpectedly sweet and has depth, which goes well beyond the meretricious inclinations you might expect from the title.
