Sad news for fans of Rebecca Creskoff and Lake Bell : you’ll never get to see them naked again…on their HBO shows, anyway. The cable network announced yesterday that after a subpar season for both series, they are canceling Hung and How to Make It in America , along with the Jason Schwartzman / Ilsa Fisher comedy Bored to Death . Hung and Bored to Death both saw their ratings drop by over half this year- 2.31 million people tuned in for the Hung Season 2 finale last year, while a relatively small 930,000 stuck around ’til the end of season 3. Similarly, Bored to Death saw a sharp drop from an average 1.1 million viewers per episode in season 2 to an average 240,000 for this year’s season 3. [Guess it really was boring.- SC] On the other hand, How to Make It in America was never really able to gather the following that propelled the similar HBO series Entourage through eight seasons; even as Lake Bell’ s nude debut spurred an (ahem) swell of interest here at Mr. Skin, the series topped out at 560,000 viewers per episode. In comparison, Game of Thrones was considered HBO’s breakout success this year; the season 1 finale drew 3.9 million viewers for its initial airing, with an average 8.3 million people taking in each episode across DVR, HBO GO, and regular ol’ cable. Are you bummed about Hung ? Wish How to Make It had made it? Or are you just looking forward to whatever nude tricks HBO has up its sleeve? Let us know in the comments!
