HBO's 'Hung': Best show title ever?

Thomasjane_l I'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 high school basketball coach who figures out a way to use his best asset."

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.

Oooh, I love Thomas Jane. I'm hungry for Hung.

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!

I'm going to call this a tie with 'Stacked'

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

I think - "Thomas Jane is Hung" - is enough to get anyone to watch...over...and over...and over again!

I have a friend who got the giggles anytime anyone mentioned The Unit.

Thomas Jane's "HUNG" leaves you wanting more. You wish you could fit more in an hour with him.

As soon as I read that, I looked right at his crotch. I'm going to hell, aren't I?

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.

Chris G Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 03:13 PM EST

hopefully we wont see headlines like "'Hung' out to dry" if it bombs...

Ceballos Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 03:08 PM EST

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.

Tenna Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 03:06 PM EST

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."

jaime Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 03:04 PM EST

LOL I GOT SO EXCITED I DIDNT EVEN FINISH READING THE WHOLE BLOG. . .HMM LET ME THINK...ILL GET RIGHT BACK.

jaime Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 02:45 PM EST

OH WOW SO MANY NAUGHTY THINGS RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD ALREADY. . .I WANT TO RUN HOME TO GET MY DVR READY ALREADY!

WOW I WONDER IF HE IS HUNG. . .OH WOW I WILL FWD THIS POST TO ALL MY GAY FRIENDS. . .WE WILL MAKE HUNG A HIT!
