| Hung | comment |
An HBO comedy series that first began airing in 2009 and ran for three seasons with a total of 30 episodes. It ends inconclusively after not being renewed for a fourth season.Thomas Jane stars as Ray Drecker, Anne Heche as Jessica Haxon, Jane Adams as Tanya Skagle, and Eddie Jemison as Ronnie Haxon.Set in suburban Detroit, the series is about a down-on-his-luck, divorced father whose house is burned down and can't come up with the money to fix it so he can get his kids back. Solution? Become a male prostitute, of course! | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Hung / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Promos make it look like a pure sex comedy, but the show's really more of a dramedy about a middle-aged man dealing with a bad economy and the aftermath of a divorce. | |

Villainous Gentrification | |
| Hung / int_2a35374f | comment |
Villainous Gentrification: A lot of the properties in Ray's old neighborhood have been bought up by significantly wealthier residents to build luxury mansions, to the point where his single-floor wooden home that has stood there for decades looks incredibly out of place. | |

Bait-and-Switch Lesbians | |
| Hung / int_34f9fe21 | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Lesbians: Inverted. Tanya wants to get a loan and heads to the bank to show her "happiness consultant" business. Which, of course, involves Ray showing off the "product." During the date part of the thing, one of the girls is told by her friend she's too uptight. Ray talks her into staying, and it appears he's gonna be in the center of a threesome with Betty and Veronica. Instead, the two girls decide they like each other and he's not really needed, so they shoo him out. The next day, the loan is approved. | |

Thomas Jane is stripping naked in the opening credits. He appears naked several other times throughout the series. The ladies have no problem getting used to this. This is almost turned into a Once an Episode gag. | |

Taking the Kids: Seemingly inverted in the pilot until the house fire forces Ray's kids to live with their mother Jessica (Ray's ex-wife) until the house is repaired. Jessica then claims that the kids will be remaining in her care. "Who do I have to fuck around here to get my kids back?!" | |

Literally Loving Thy Neighbor | |
| Hung / int_64dc65f1 | comment |
Literally Loving Thy Neighbor: The rich Jewish couple who live next to Raymond are initially at odds with him over the state of his house, but after Ray gives the female neighbor, Yael, a box of cookies as an apology (actually a gift from Ray's sponsor/pimp Tanya, which included a hidden note calling him a sexy beast), she starts a steamy affair with Ray. Basically, buying sex by letting him use their shower. She even orders a new mattress to continue their hanky panky when she starts coming over to Ray's damaged home regularly. | |

Took a Level in Dumbass | |
| Hung / int_6a4f3cf7 | comment |
Took a Level in Dumbass: Ray after episode six. He would become better at his job in certain intervals but then backslided by continuing service with the obviously crazy Jemma, who paid him to come to one of her therapy sessions so she could yell at him without explaining anything about what was going on to him. He then completely ignores Tanya's authority and asks Jemma to "go steady" with him i.e. date him without payment. He is now either the best or worst male prostitute ever. | |

Serious Business | |
| Hung / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: In the appropriately-named episode "The Middle East is Complicated", Ray is sleeping with his Israeli neighbour and an Arab client at the same time (though not together). They try to force him to "pick a side" whether hummus has been invented by Arabs or Jews, and which of the two women makes better hummus. Of course, Ray is completely clueless and doesn't see why this is even an issue. | |

Fanservice: Thomas Jane is stripping naked in the opening credits. He appears naked several other times throughout the series. The ladies have no problem getting used to this. This is almost turned into a Once an Episode gag. Most of the ladies requiring Ray's services are quite attractive and young-ish (to the point where their Troubled, but Cute issues are needed to maintain some plausibility) and are prone to show some skin. | |
