HBO's 'Hung': Best show title ever?

Thomasjane_lI’m going to say yes, but feel free to argue with me…

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Thomas Jane (The Punisher) has been cast as the lead in an hour-long HBO pilot called Hung:"The dark comedy pilot, directed by Oscar winner Alexander Payne,centers on Ray (Jane), a well-endowed struggling middle-age highschool basketball coach who figures out a way to use his bestasset."

So, I’m right, right? Hung is the best TV show title ever? Or maybe I’m just giddy thinking that if/when the pilot go to series and becomes a hit, I will forever get to be forced to identify the actor as "Thomas Jane (Hung)…"

I’m also looking forward to the punny headlines. (If the ratings hold up: WELL ‘HUNG’) Write your own headline after the jump. Just keep it clean-ish.

    Definitely the best title for a show ever. All the headlines I’m coming up with though are just totally wrong. Haha~! And yay Tom Jane! Of course, whenever I see him I can only think of Homeless Dad from Arrested Development. “I JUST WANT MY KIDS BACK.”

  • Ceballos

    I gotta agree with you, Mandi…I just cannot think of a better title off the top of my head.
    And though we never got to see his gritty work as an addict in “Jane Junk”, it appears there’s a good chance we’ll be able to see Jane’s Junk.

    hopefully we wont see headlines like “‘Hung’ out to dry” if it bombs…

    What’s the audience reaction going to be? A Hung Jury. William Hung is expected to cameo. After he’s Hung out with Tom Jane, we expect him to have Hung up his microphone.
    What’s up with EW and all the sex innuendos today? First we had all this “p-ssy” talk, now all this talk of male anatomy? It’s time this topic was Hung out to dry.

    Thomas Jane’s “HUNG” leaves you wanting more. You wish you could fit more in an hour with him.

    I think – “Thomas Jane is Hung” – is enough to get anyone to watch…over…and over…and over again!

  • SJ

    You guys are beginning to rival The A.V. Club in raunchy comments.

  • Rahul

    I’m going to call this a tie with ‘Stacked’

  • paul

    Well Jane has gone full frontal in movies, and from what I’ve seen, he’s going to need some Boogie Nights style prosthetics to be believable in this part!

  • edd

    *I just want my kids back*

  • thad
