Ray Drecker may be very popular with the ladies but HBO doesn’t want a fourth season of his TV series. The pay-for-view channel has cancelled Hung after 30 episodes and three seasons on the air.
Hung stars Thomas Jane as a struggling Detroit high school baseball coach and divorced father. He resorts to male prostitution to take advantage of his natural “endowments.” The show’s cast includes Jane Adams, Anne Heche, Eddie Jemison, Rebecca Creskoff, Gregg Henry, Charlie Saxton, and Sianoa Smit-McPhee.
This past season, Hung averaged a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.02 million viewers. That’s way down from last season (1.3 in the demo with 2.46 million), which had declined from the 2009 numbers.
The defacto series finale of Hung aired on December 4th and attracted just a 0.4 rating and 930,000 viewers.
HBO has also cancelled Bored to Death and How to Make It in America but has chosen to renew Enlightened, the newest and lowest-rated of the four.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Hung has been cancelled, that there won’t be a fourth season?
I’m from Russia, and want 2 write some sad words about no-season-4 too! Hung is great show! Brilliant actors, huge talent writers and producers. I’ll miss this show. Really hope that’s ll be rise again in season 4!
Cancelling this show was a **** idea! This show was fantastic and if you want to blame something for the low ratings you should blame your advertising dept. I only heard of this show recently from a friend (never once saw a commercial) and watched all 3 seasons straight through. I loved it and would have definitely watched it when it was on television had i known it existed then. HBO screwed themselves on this one!
This sucks!! I’ve been waiting for Hung to come back this show is hilarious! Hopefully HBO reconsiders and decides to do a season 4 giving closure.
I cant believe this amazing show was cancelled just like that without even tying up loose ends. WTF
WtF…do they factor DVR and TiVo in their ratings. We love this show but could not watch when they kids were home. I got HBO for this show and True blood….I would rather True blood get cancelled than HUNG…omg they could at least doing a closing episode to tie up the loose ends…this sucks. Just left us hanging
I’ve been waiting and waiting for news about Hung, I finally had to look it up. And WTF do I find it’s *&%(^@! gone! ! ! That’s just not right esp. when there’s other crap that’s still on that’s not even worth watching! ! ! HBO has made a major mistake. I’m not sure where they got their numbers from but I demand a recount!! ! ! ! !
**** the world I am only with my girlfriend because she owns all the series 🙁
I am so sad! I didn’t know Hung was cancelled and have been sitting here wondering when it was returning. I loved this show- so original and fresh!
We loved this show. Talent, good writing, new concepts.. No reason to keep hbo. Wish they would have tried another season!
I loved this show. Wish it would be brought back
I have been waiting to hear when the new season would start and I just found out its been cancelled…I’m devastated!!!! It was great and funny too…very disappointed.
Hung was a goose with the golden eggs. I really enjoyed that goose
I am sad to hear it is done. They could at least do a wrap up episode or two.
Sad to read! Season 3 was the better than season 2, and this one better than the 1st!
That’s too bad, I enjoyed Hung and Bored to Death, well, I guess I’ll watch something else on Showtime….sometimes the programmers get a wild hair and let the good shows drop.
