Title: More shows coming to HBO
Post by: Joe Rogaine on December 20, 2008, 05:43:42 AM

Anybody seen this news?


The Jonathan Ames-penned "Bored" centers on Jonathan (Schwartzman), a struggling thirtysomething Brooklyn writer with a drinking problem who, after a painful breakup with his girlfriend, decides to emulate his heroes from the novels of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. He takes out an ad pretending to be a private detective and starts taking cases -- solving some and making others worse.

Hung, about a high school basketball coach who happens to be gifted with an unusually large male appendage. Hung was created by Dmitry Lipkin and Colette Burson (The Riches), and the pilot was directed by Alexander Payne (Election, Sideways) — a dream come true for Lipkin and Burson, who envisioned the show having the same feel as one of Payne’s films. Payne will remain on board as an executive producer.

Bored sounded good until you got to the part about Schwartzman (assuming it's Jason).

How has nobody commented on Hung. That just sounds like some filthy garbage.

No one here mentioned that Zach Galifianakis is in Bored to Death! As well as the great Ted Danson.
