Ray's fortunes, at low ebb after the Lenore debacle, sink further when his nosy neighbor, Howard Koontz, accuses him of public indecency. Fed up with Jessica's maternal meddling, Damon and Darby yearn to go back to their dad's, but progress on Ray's home-repair front remains stalled. Likewise, Ray and Tanya's frayed partnership seems to be dead in the water - until a last-minute proposal resurrects their dreams.

I'm in love with this show. Funny as hell. And sad and sexy and so heartfelt. I don't know who to love more: Ray or Tanya. They're the best odd couple on TV. The kids are great too; such a fun contrast with their parents. Anne Heche cracked me up with that dog. This is her best work ever. She was manic, but very sweet too somehow. I love how Damon respond to her empathy with "Cool" and then how Darby said "Kinda," like 'Don't encourage her!' But then she still agreed to pet the dog. They feel like real siblings. This ensemble of actors is so unique; special. After three episodes, all these characters (even the guest stars) feel like fully-formed people to me. They have their own voices, instead of walking around parroting what the writers think, like on the embarrassingly-see-though Entourage. And I like that they shoot plenty of scenes outside; it makes the show feel Bigger. Ray's tent in the backyard is such a great visual. I loved him pissing in the lake; he's so powerless right now; it was fun to see him marking his territory, standing his ground. It killed me when Tanya gave him money out of her own pocket; how he got all proud and shit. So funny. I loved that T-Brain wouldn't take the money back. Hope we see Lenore again too; she was a riot.
There was this moment when they were walking together and Tanya asked "Do you forgive me?" and Ray reached around and tentatively touched her back and her hair, and she sort of brushed his side with her fingers, that struck me as so indicative of their strange connection: they don't know how to touch or relate to each other, but they're drawn to do so. Lipkin and Burson have actually created a half-hour series capable of competing with hour-long dramas for my affection. (Except Mad Men of course.) Hung is already my favorite comedy. It's incredibly impressive--and rare--to have a new show exceed my expectations and actually improve on its huge potential.
Favorite lines:
"I fucked that bitch for free?!" -Ray
"My mother's right: I'm too desperate to be liked." -Tanya ( I love how she shotdown Ray when he attempted to offer her sympathy about that.)
This is my favorite: "I've been a bad pimp, or at least not very excellent." -Tanya

Can anyone tell me who was performing the song that ran on the end credits to this ep? I tried to Shazam it and it was unrecognized. Thanks!
