Hung is a comedy-drama
series, which premiered on HBO on June 28, 2009. The series was created by Dmitry
Lipkin and Colette Burson and stars Thomas Jane as Ray Drecker, a struggling
suburban Detroit high school basketball coach who resorts to male prostitution.
The Second Season premiered on June 27, 2010 and concluded its 10 episode run
on September 12, 2010. On September 2, 2010 it was announced that HBO had ordered
Hung for a third season consisting of 10 episodes set to premiere in 2011
Hung follows Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane),
an unhappy, financially strapped history teacher and athletic coach at a high
school in suburban Detroit. He's also the father of twin teenagers (Charlie
Saxton and Sianoa Smit-McPhee) who are currently living with their remarried
mother (Anne Heche). After a fire destroyed the childhood home Ray still owns
and lived in, he is left without many options. With the help of a friend, Tanya
(Jane Adams), Ray decides to turn his large penis into an opportunity to make
money. The episodes center on Ray's attempts to maintain a "normal"
life while starting his business as a male prostitute. Together, Tanya and Ray
begin Happiness Consultants.
The second season focuses on the complex dynamic between Ray and his two pimps,
Tanya and Lenore (Rebecca Creskoff). Lenore, a life coach who Tanya brought
in to help them in the early stages of the business, began taking over Happiness
Consultants late in the first season, as she believes she can take Ray places
in the business and views Tanya as an obstacle.

Wikipedia Tiger Stadium
Tiger Stadium (formerly known as Navin Field and Briggs Stadium) was a stadium located in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan. It hosted the Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball team from 1912 to 1999, as well as the National Football League's Detroit Lions from 1938 to 1974. It was declared a State of Michigan Historic Site in 1975 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1989. The stadium was nicknamed "The Corner" for its location on Michigan Avenue and Trumbull Avenue. In the decade after the Tigers baseball team vacated the stadium, several rejected redevelopment and preservation efforts finally gave way to demolition. The stadium's demolition was completed on September 21, 2009. There are currently no plans for redevelopment at the site, however Tiger Stadium's actual field playing surface remains at the corner where the stadium once stood.
