Another well-endowed comedy hitting the air

Battlefield_earth_01 Has it really come to this, that big dick comedies are an actual TV trend?

THR's Nellie Andreeva reports that MTV is moving forward with "Hard Times," a new coming-of-age comedy series whose plot is drawing comparisons to HBO's older-skewing new comedy "Hung." Show chronicles the hellish life of RJ Berger, a desperately unpopular 15-year-old.

When RJ's anatomical gift is dramatically revealed in front of the whole school, he goes from anonymous to famous and finds his first sliver of confidence. But he also has to deal with a best friend trying to capitalize on his newfound fame, a student body with no shortage of cruel jokes and an insane home life.

"Hard," from New Remote Prods., was created and executive produced by David Katzenberg, whose producing credits include CBS' "Survivor," and Seth Grahame-Smith. MTV declined to comment.
