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?
Yes, I am disappointed about the Series 4 being cancelled.
It was great and I it was humorous. I laughed out loud so many times…..
I just discovered ‘HUNG’ recently and binge watched the 3 seasons. I love it and was looking forward to seeing the 4th season. I am hoping that Netflix, Showtime will pick up the show.
Boo…great show!!
I LOVED Thomas Jane in Hung. He played the part very well, and I loved all the other actors as well! I just wished they would have kept it going, it was one of the that I just couldn’t stop watching. Very disappointed it stopped!
I was really entertained, and I love Thomas Jane. The acting was great by everyone in the series and wish that Hung would be put back on! I rarely watch series shows but this one caught me eye, not because of the nudity but the superb acting!
Found hung also on cable re runs love it
Need more seasons bring it back
I literally only just discovered this show and watched the entire series in 3 days! I want to know what happened to Ray and Tanya and Jess and….and…and so many hilarious, mentally deranged characters! Cmon HBO! They could’ve at least done one more episode to show them all at Lenore’s funeral and Ray & Jess back together and Tanya happily coupled etc. Boohoo! I’ll just write my own ending!
Why ditch a good thing
Just like many others I binged watched this show and loved every minute of it and was really into all the characters and wanted to know where they would go next… then nothing… just stopped!
So frustrating to end it like that, could have at least made a feature length episode to tie up the many loose ends.
Clearly HBO are clueless and have no idea about nurturing a show.
Please do what the viewers want and bring it back before it’s too late.
I just binge watched the series…..I can’t believe it ended…we need more
I just found this show for the first time. Amazing program. I wish there was more.
I accidentally discovered this show …it was great …bring it back for one more season!
I am sorry this was cancled. I never even heard of the show until now. And we’ve binged watch all 3 seasons. Bring it back… Sometimes the timing is just off. But I bet it would be watched more now.
i just watched the first 3 sessions on amazon prime i liked it so much i was going to sigh up for HBO for the first time- just for that show – It was great . It made you want to know more about the characters– at last HBO should do a few more shows to wrap up the show and end it right
Bring it back
