Alternate Title: I didn’t know we’d be getting a Friday Night Lights spin-off about Tim Riggins so soon
Sue Naegle, new president of HBO, has picked up her first show. It’s called Hung. Here’s a synopsis from Variety:
Hung opens on a man who was once a high school sports legend, but is now plodding along in middle age as a struggling father and high school basketball coach. His luck begins to change, however, when he figures out a way to use his best asset.
They’re referring to his penis.
The show is created by Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin, creator of FX’s The Riches. Hopefully this show, along with Alan Ball’s vampire series True Blood, will reinvigorate HBO’s schedule, which has been sagging after the finales of two of their best known series (The Sopranos and The Wire) and a string of misses (John From Cincinnati, Tell Me You Love Me).

Certainly “biggest asset” would have been more applicable. Still, Big Diction salute to Hung.
