While HUNG wasn’t exactly the laugh-out-loud comedy one might have expected from a show revolving around Thomas Jane and his biggest err… asset, this TV Addict is glad that we well, we hung in there. After-all, now that the pilot out of the way — which let’s face it, was essentially a pro-longed set-up for what happens next — we find ourselves curiously intrigued as to whether or not Thomas Jane’s Ray will be able to keep things strictly professional with his new business partner, poet/pimp Tanya (the amazing Jane Adams who FRASIER fans will remember as Dr. Mel Karnofsky). And with apologies in advance for yet another tawdry pun, we guess you could say, HUNG has a lot of room to grow. Thoughts? 
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
THE SIMPSONS (8PM FOX, Global in Canada)

Which is why theTVaddict.com is going to spend the next few days offering up our “Summer Survival Guide.” Alternatives to the painful mix of reality TV, reruns and third-rate miniseries/ movies the major networks are trying to pass off as entertainment.
But before we get into those alternatives which include the worlds of TV on DVD, books and online, we first thought we should offer up five reason why you may not want to cancel your cable just yet.
WEEDS [Showtime, June 8]
Mary Louise Parker, America’s sexiest and arguably most irresponsible mother is back! And while critics and discerning fans have been quick to proclaim that the Botwin’s clans move to the border was a mistake of shark jumping proportions, WEEDS (alongside HBO’s ENTOURAGE, 30 ROCK and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER) remain to this day one of the only comedies that without fail, always leaves us jonesin’ for more.
