I can't say that I like it. Yet, I think it's got legs and will grow on me some more. I liked where ep.2 went, and am intrigued to see where eps.3,4,5 go. So I'll be tuning in some more for sure.

Double Entrendre's aside, I remember reading years ago that the bulk of patrons for male hookers are male so I wonder how much "reality" this show will have.

Great comment hugh, which was addressed nicely in the show when he entered an Internet search for "straight male escort" and got next to nothing by way of results, so they've obviously thought that out too!

I'm not entirely sold on the show either, but it's not like there's anything else on Sunday night at 10:00 EDT during the summer. It's unique and fresh and the kids are just awesome. We really need to meet "Hammer".

I like the direction the show is taking. In the wrong hands it could have become thoroughly distasteful. As it is, so far, it's an enjoyable comedy about a couple of inept, neurotic characters who are in over their heads. Some of the plot twists are hilarious, like Lenore ripping off Ray and Tanya's response. I could do without the Howard Koontz subplot though.

not impressed so far. I'll give it one or two more episodes.

For us, it's alright. The one thing I enjoy about it is that it is far from being crude unlike Californication. It's just an easy going show for my wife and I.

Decent show that has its moments. The kids I don't buy. Two attractive looking people could not produce beasts like those two...

I quite like it. It will be interesting to see if they can be more creative than the obvious potential story lines: he get's hired by his ex-wife; someone at the school finds out; get's blackmailed about exposing him to his family and employers; something to do with the neighbor (hired by the neighbor's sister or something).

Great show, really enjoying it along with my wife. Can't wait to see what happens with the neighbour. The kids sort of annoy me as well, other then that enjoying all of the other characters.

I think the pain in the a** neighbour's wife and the Thomas Jane character have something cooking.

I'm done after last night. He's an annoying dolt and Anne Heche is well... Anne Heche.

I only watched a few episodes (over the 3 seasons), but liked them enough to still be interested in borrowing the DVDs from the library when I get a chance.

HBO has cancelled Hung, so there won't be a 4th season. The deflated ratings (where's the Viagra when you need it?) for Season 3 and a crowded HBO production schedule were to blame.

Oddly enough, one of HBO's possible newcomers will be The Viagra Diaries starring Goldie Hawn. Keep UP the good work, HBO.
