Hung Tomorrow at 10 p.m., HBO

The title of the new HBO comedy implies raunchiness, but the series is more of a “Weeds’’-style black comedy. Thomas Jane plays an Average Joe with financial problems who decides to become an escort in order to make some money. Hilarity, and pathos, ensue.

Eli Stone 10 p.m., Channel 5

It’s a little funny how Saturday night has become burn-off central. The remaining episodes of failed series always seem to find a home in the weekend void, tonight with “Eli Stone,’’ and also “Harper’s Island’’ at 9 on Channel 4 and “Kings’’ at 8 on Channel 7. Here today, gone tomorrow, and in the meantime, hanging out on Saturday night.
