Let’s not grieve the passing of these shows (though I heard that Bored to Death was pretty great). Rather, let’s harvest their financial organs and give life to new shows, perhaps A Visit From The Goon Squad, a Doc Holliday series, or a medical/mafia drama from Leo DiCaprio. Sure, they might not give us comfort right away, but in time, we can learn to love them. Perhaps you can take solace in the fact that Enlightened got picked up for another season in the same announcement? Circle of life.

In the meantime, I dunno, let’s watch Arrested Development on DVD until Justified comes back. Cool?

Alanna Ubach has played many comedic parts over the years from raunchy waitress in Waiting… to ditzy best friend of Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. These days she shows off her surprisingly toned body on HBO’s "Hung" where she plays neighbor with Thomas Jane and his well-endowed gift. Look for her next year putting her vocal talents to good use with Johnny Depp in the digital animated Rango.

A word from Alanna: "When I get a role, I try to delve as deeply as possible into the character. I act with my gut instincts."

A modern day Brando, everyone. Maybe one day she’ll go crazy too.

If you’ve been wondering what Alexander Payne has been doing since Sideways look no further.  He directed the pilot for this HBO comedy about a down on his luc high school PE teacher (Thomas Jane) who decides to take advantage of his biggest asset by becoming a male escort.  And if you can’t figure out what that asset is by the title of the show then you’re in for quite a surprise.  

HUNG premieres on HBO Sunday June 28th at 10PM.
