HBO Pulls The Plug & Cancels Hung, Bored to Death and How to Make It in America.

While Enlightened actually had the smallest audience of the four  shows, it was a darling among critics. And last week, it was nominated  for two Golden Globes: Best Comedy Series and Best Actress in a Comedy  Series. Hung, starring Thomas Jane working a second job as a male prostitute,  averaged 3.9 million viewers, the largest audience of the four shows.  However, that’s a 44 percent drop from Hung’s second year. Bored to Death, starring Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson and Zach  Galifianakis, and America, executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, both  averaged 2.3 million viewers, down 25 percent from their previous  seasons.
