HBO has ordered a third season of the gigolo semi-comedy "Hung."

[Place second lame penis joke here.]

The cable network announced on Wednesday (Sept. 1) that the 10-episode third season of "Hung" will air in 2011 with the core creative team and cast remaining in place.

"Hung," which stars Thomas Jane as a man who makes use of his One Special Gift to try keeping his family afloat in a recession economy premiered last summer. The show's second season launched this June and will wrap up on September 12.

[It's been too long without a penis reference. Insert one here.]

For its first season, "Hung" earned Golden Globe nominations for stars Jane and Jane Adams, plus a Writers Guild Nomination and even an Emmy nod for cinematography.

[Conclude with one last lazy penis joke.]

Great News. The best half hour on the air ..and with surprisingly little to no jokes abou the title subject. Were are the f'ng episode reviews? ;)

I was a little concerned because the ratings weren't as good as you could expect with that big True Blood Lead-In in mind.

- cyclops999 In regards to Kabak's post...Isn't there supposed to be some rule about not insulting other posters?
  
  Personally, while I admit Hung isn't a particularly "good" show, I still think most episodes are mildly enjoyable if you don't go in expecting anything special.

- dan cyclops999 - That "no insults" rule is Sepinwall's rule. That being said, I would certainly delete any insulting that got too harsh or too personal.

- David Brent That's the only thing you are right about. Like Weeds it's a slow told (in agood way) tragicomedy and character study. Not a fast paced sitcom with a high gags per minute average.
