...the residuals I get for selling them the rights to use my nickname as the shows name. Every little inch helps.

with HBO's entire sunday lineup. Trueblood has gotten much better. During the first season I was afraid it would end up being like Deadwood. Which I really liked, but it always seemed like you would watch a week's episode, waiting for the big action to happen, it would not, but in the "next week's episode", it would look like the next week was going to be packed full of action only to have to same actionless type episode again.

Plus, it looks like next month they are going to be starting a new show with Schwartzman in it that looks to be pretty quality.

Hung blows. While the idea is good, and the new girlfriend is fine, the show sucks. Its like they said, "Hey lets find the two ugliest kids trying out for the part, put them in the show, and then have them serve absolutely no purpose besides looking like chemistry experiments gone horribly wrong."

Then they casted Tonya's part and said, "Lets find the most unattractive, homely looking woman to play the show's second most important part and make her obnoxious and whiny. That way we can make being a high-end, madame as un-sexy as possible."

Obviously HBO is trying to play on the success of Weeds from Showtime, but Hung is just plain terrible.

You will miss at least half the show.

The show was only 20 minutes long. Was one of the more forgettable episodes in a while.

I will say there was one good line from Ari to Brady when discussing Turtle, "You know he isn't with the Make-a-Wish" foundation.

Beyond that, Hung is much more entertaining right now. Also the new GF/Jane was hot in Dirty Sexy Money, but she is extremely hot in this show. Also, I think the son has some weird attraction to his sister, hope Im wrong, because they are two of the ugliest people on television. I wonder how people that ugly actually think being on TV is something that could possibly happen to them. They have to be related to some Director, or owner of a Studio. Just have to be.

It adds to the plot. He was athletically gifted and "good looking" and the mom was the head cheerleader and they created to very unattractive kids.

I didn't watch the first season and now I may go back and catch up. Last night's was pretty good.

Hung started out great, but I feel that they jumped him into a relationship to fast. I was hoping that he would be banging more fat, ugly chicks. I still think he's gonna do his principal. They've got a lot of ways to take that sitcom. I just don't want it to get bogged down with a relationship.

As for Entourage, what can you say. The show is unbelievable. I do wish they would get off of the "E". It's like the entire season is centered around his wussy ***. Get more Drama and Ari. I would pay money to get Ari to come into my place of business 1 time a month and give motivational speeches on selling.

Same here. I am on the fence about the show. But those kids are distracting. They are almost as far fetched as a hot, rich woman paying for sex.

Last night...The basketball scene was bad. Was that the same court they shot Teen Wolf? That scene reminded of that movie.

However, last night's show left me wondering which way the show will turn? I predict hot chick ends up going pyscho on his ***. Turns him in to the school, he gets fired, and leaves him to rely on Tonya for more clients to make ends meet.

I am not saying that Hung is the best show on TV or anything, but the casting of the children and the madame is freaking brilliant. They go out of their way to make those kids freakishly weird looking for a reason.

Entourage has fallen off big time. I feel like that characters are all just sitting around reading their script like it was a rehearsal or something. Time to hang it up in my opinion.

Everything on TV right now is just an appetizer for what is coming in September; Curb Your Enthusiasm and It's Always Sunny in Philly. I wish Testees was coming back, but I haven't seen any indication of it coming back at all. Does anyone know if it got cancelled or not??

Correct. And I'll throw in the Mad Men season premiere this Sunday for good measure.

But last season was not very good. It had its moments, but overall I didn't think it lived up to the first few seasons. I am looking forward to it though.
