Comedy Tonight: You can't keep a bad idea down -- on Hung, Tanya's "lyric bread" is back!

There's clearly something going on between Ray (Thomas Jane) and Tanya (Jane Adams) -- whom I've described as two of "life's left-behinds." But so far it hasn't produced happy results either in bed or in their, er, joint business venture.

"Why can't I ever see people for who they really are? . . .
"My mother was right, I'm too desperate to be liked."

-- Tanya, "the world's worst pimp," in Sunday's Hung

What continues to delight me about Hung is its refusal to be plot-predicatable while remaining both charming and stubbornly believable. It even turns out that we haven't heard the end of Tanya's "lyric bread." She's even adopted Ray's suggestion that the poems (or other inspirational texts) stuffed into her baked goods would need to be laminated, and from Sunday's episode it's looking like the lyric bread is even throwing off plot lines of its own.

Good news for those who've missed the early episodes: HBO is repeating the first three episodes this Thursday evening at 8:30 ET; check your local listings for exact times. -- Ken
