"Hung" Starts Big for HBO

The premiere of HBO's newest comedy, "Hung," was seen by 2.8 million viewers, making it the network's most-watched series debut in two years.

"Hung," about a well-endowed man (Thomas Jane) who becomes a hustler, was the strongest premiere for the network since "John From Cincinnati," which aired after the series finale of "The Sopranos" in June 2007.

Lead-in "True Blood," meanwhile, hit yet another series high, drawing 3.7 million viewers. "Hung" held 76 percent of the vampire drama's audience.

If you throw in encore presentations of both shows, the audience for "Hung" grows to 3.7 million viewers and for "Blood" to 5.1 million.
