The article quotes the creators as saying that the show is not about
the hook:
"Hung" stars Jane as Ray, a well-endowed struggling high school
basketball coach who figures out a way to use his best asset.
The sexual aspect will be a major source for comedy but not the main
focus of the series, said Lipkin and Burson, who are already writing
Episode 5.
"It has its sexual moments, but the show is very much about what's
happening in the country, how people are trying to survive using what
God had given them," Lipkin said.
Burson noted that the theme is even more relevant now, with the
worsening economy, as is the Michigan setting for the show, picked
long before the state became a focal point for the economic crisis as
the home of the struggling Big Three automakers.

Of course, though, that's not what HBO's promotional campaign will be
about.
