Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Boy, did I learn my lesson...

The Honey and I were watching the gloomy pans across the trophies and all the other memorabilia while the fire raged and said, "That's not... funny."

1) Self loathing womanizer with a dry sarcastic wit. An attractive ex who is with a douch-y but nice guy who is financially stable..... I already own Californication.
2) I just don't care about his predicament. He's in a bad way because he forgot to pay his homeowners insurance so he wasn't covered when the fire hit, the solution is next dore; his neighbor wants to buy his house (more specifically his property) for (according to the dialog) a fair price but because he is stubbornly holding on to his parents home (that he nearly burned down), he wont sell it and is continuing to keep himself in this situation. Sell the house, move to a place you can afford and move-the fuck-on.
3) His ugly ginger kids. Christ almighty, I know this is superficial but those two could not have come from the people playing their parents, not even in movie world.
His son looks like someone put make up on an overweight black guy to make him look white. His daughter is one of 983746509823746340956 overweight "goth" girls who are loitering outside of Hot Topic right this second.
4) It's just not terribly entertaining. Those three issues aside, the show just didn't hold my attention. Everything was so forced and contrived. It felt more uncomfortable than entertaining.

I'm glad they seem to be refining Peter Facinelli's character. That little tick they gave him in the first episode, where he grabs women inappropriately when he's nervous, was just stupid.

She made it up to me later, though, when she said "Are you fucking serious?" to the woman who wondered if the cab was available.

Pleasant guy to look at and probably a fine actor, but just doesn't gel with Falco.
Hung? The jury's still out - or should I say - hung?

However, I really didn't warm up to Hung. It's just a low-rent guy version of Weeds, substituting sperm for pot. What humor there was in the pilot was too black for my Sunday night tastes. I think I'm gonna pass.
I'm giving Nurse Jackie a longer leash. I agree with your assessments of the side characters, but a lot of good shows had to go through a first-season shakedown before hitting their strides.
