I think Mr. Maul and I have a new favorite show on HBO: HUNG. LOL.

No, it’s not a joke and yes, it means exactly what you’re thinking.

The season premiere came on Sunday night and it’s about this guy named Ray (Thomas Jane) who lost his house to a fire and his kids to his ex-wife (Anne Heche) and her new–and rich–husband. He’s living out of a tent on his property and has the primo job of coaching a losing high school basketball team.

Strapped for cash, he has to find a way to make money and gets help in the form of a how-to-make-millions type of class. After a comment hurled at him by his ex-wife–followed by a variation of the same comment by a one-night stand–Ray discovers how he can make money.

Sigh.

Needless to say, we liked it. We are now adding another show to our already long list of shows. Lucky for us, it comes on right after TRUEBLOOD. Our Sunday nights are getting awful crowded.

So, have you seen the show? Let me know what you think.

Is anyone out there watching THE LISTENER? Total hottie with laser blue eyes. That dude can read my mind–and save my life–any day of the week. Yowza!

What about NURSE JACKIE? She kinda reminds me of a nicer-but-just-as-snarky version of HOUSE.

Your thoughts?

Is anyone else out there excited that the second season of TRUEBLOOD has begun? Wow, what a neck-biter sorry, nail-biter the season premiere was, huh?

What the hell is Marianne?

And will someone please make Jason stop drinking the Kool-Aid? That boy is going to get himself into a heap of trouble.

On a side note: I heard that Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer (Sookie and Bill) are dating in real-life. I imagine that would be quite…stimulating. To say the least.

I’ve said it twice and I’ll say it again: I wish TRUEBLOOD was on everyday.

I saw this on Yahoo headlines today: Boy Hit By Meteorite.

Reading this article made me think of one of my favorite shows, SMALLVILLE, and how Mr. Maul stopped watching it because for a while, they were doing “Freak of the Week” type episodes. The fallout from Clark’s plunge to Earth was bringing a lot of kryptonite-infused baddies out of the woodwork.

Better keep an eye on that kid. He might start developing some latent supernatural ability.

Wouldn’t that be interesting if that really happened? I sense a story…

My co-worker emailed this MSN article:

ANGEL was one of my many favorite shows and I’m still pissed that it ended so abruptly. Without closure. Thanks Joss.

Lorne wasn’t exactly a favorite for me, but I loved all the scenes he was in. I loved it when he made Angel sing karaoke. Hi-larious. His uncomfortableness was palpable.

But I didn’t realize the actor was so young!!! Maybe it was the make-up, but for some reason I thought he was older.

RIP, Andy Hallett. You were a fabtastic addition to the ANGEL crew.
