Anyone watch this show? I thought it was pretty good.... I used to think that having multiple wives would be cool, but not so much now. (Outside of the physical aspects of the situation, you're in hell)

Definately paints the fundamentalist LDS followers as money grubbing people devoid of compassion

I really enjoyed this show...some very awkward weird moments. Nice replacement for Six Feet Under.

Is there a thread on this HBO show??? This guy really takes his liberties with his 3 wives while fighting off the leader of the polygamist sect who says he owes him tithes and offerings for helping him open a Home Improvement store. What a crazy entertaining bunch they have turned out to be. Anyone???

My wife and I have been watching from the beginning. Very original storyline. We both really like it.

I don't think the LDS church likes it very much. :D

I’ve been recording this on my DVR. I can’t wait until we have time to sit down and watch. It looks awesome.

We are one episode behind (two with a new one tonight) but it is a great show. I'm really diging it.

Bill Paxton is incredible in this role...so good.

I agree, he really makes a good choice as the guy with three wives and crazy extended families. I keep wondering what is going to happen next. Some of the side plots are bit slow but all in all I like the show.

This is probably the best written show on TV right now. I will forgive them from taking away Carnivale if they can keep this up for a while.

P.s. More female nudity

Found myself looking forward to Sunday...not for Lakers/Suns. Not for Sopranos. But for Big Love.

This show is pretty intriguing.

What's up with Albie? That guy is nuttier than a jar of goobers. What was the deal with the male prostitute and the whole head-banging thing? Weird.

I love this show!

Yeah that was rather strange.... I thought he was going to hook up with the dude, but he ate a sandwich and faked a seisure instead :|

My wife is pretty pissed that she has to see Paxton's ass every other episode, but when hot male prostitute comes on screen, she is denied some decent angles.

Just finished season one of this show, great stuff. They definitely do a good job of demonstrating the drawbacks of keeping track of 3 women, yikes.

I can't believe the neighbors haven't figured out that they're polygamists yet. You'd think they would have stumbled upon a google-map of their backyard or something.

Pretty good characters throughout. What's up with the older boy though? Is it just me or is he about the worst actor ever?

I love the terminology. jeepers...super...jimminy crickets

Quite the cliffhanger at the end.

January 16th 2011.

Season Five has been announced as it's last season.

Should be some good TV. I have enjoyed this show.

Hopefully it gets me through to the Game of Thrones premier. Since that happens in April, my guess is that it will premier the night of the series finale of Big Love.

Episode 12 of Big Love would be April 3rd. If they go that long.

Holy crap. I just remember what significance "binders full of women" had in this show.
