MAAAAAAAKE OUUU- oh. You're past that. Carry on.

HBO’s “Hung” tells the story of Ray (Thomas Jane), a down-and-out Detroit high school teacher/baseball coach who loses his job, his wife, and his childhood home, then becomes a male prostitute because he has a big dong. It’s the American dream, really.

In Season 3, Lenore (the buxom Rebecca Creskoff) finds a younger, hotter male prostitute, and has designs on taking away all of Ray and Tanya’s (Jane Addams) clients, because there are lots of attractive women in suburban Detroit who can’t find a lover but have extra money and therefore pay for sex. “Hung” is TV’s finest science fiction dramedy.

The saucy trailer for Season 3 is below, with screencaps on the following pages. It’s got lesbianism, a busty redhead, pugs watching sex, and a hair-pulling catfight on a bathroom floor. I had no idea Detroit was so sexy!

“Hung” is a new show premiering on June 28th that stars Thomas Jane as a high school teacher with a big penis.  Sounds like the beginning of a pretty good porn, but it’s actually an HBO original series intended to be a dark comedy.

Ray Drecker (Jane) is underpaid, uninsured, and embittered that his wife of 20 years (Anne Heche) has left him for her dermatologist.  After a fire damages the run-down Detroit home [Is there any other kind? -Ed.] he inherited from his parents, Ray’s fortunes reach an all-time low when his twin children, who had been living with him, move in with their mom and her clean-freak hubby.  Lonely, run-down, and at wit’s end, Ray attends a local self-help class whose mantra is to identify a “winning tool” to market for financial success.

The series is directed by Alexander Payne (Sideways), and I can firmly say that this looks a little flaccid.  I’m not trying to be a dick, but I have a bone to pick with the writing: the main character is too impotent, leaving the viewer unsatisfied.  Boner cock throbbing erection.
