I just finished watching The Biggest Loser episode where the Blue team voted Dane off the show instead of Ron. One word. MORONS! I have nothing against Ron, but the guy’s knee has been holding he and his team back for weeks. Why vote off a guy that puts up good numbers for your team? Ron is a bullshitter and should have been voted off this show a long time ago. The show is over, Blue team just lost.
I unintentionally started watching one of the episodes of the new HBO series “Big Love” this past weekend, and found myself watching all five episodes before the weekend was over.
“Big Love” is about a polygamist, Bill Henderickson(Bill Paxton), who has three families that live next door to each other in Utah. There’s the first wife, Barb Hendrickson(Jeanne Tripplehorn), the middle wife Nicole Grant(Chloe Sevigny) and the youngest wife, Margene Heffman(Ginnifer Goodwin).
I’ve been so bored with television lately, but this show has me coming back for more. The issues are topics I’ve never really put much thought into, which is what makes the show interesting.
If you have Charter, you can watch all of the episodes via OnDemand. The next show is Sunday night at 9:00pm.
Description from their website
Think having three wives is a dream come true? Meet Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton), a modern-day Utah polygamist who lives in suburban Salt Lake City with his three wives, seven children, and a mounting avalanche of debt and demands. The owner of a growing chain of home improvement stores, Bill struggles to balance the financial and emotional needs of Barb, Nicki and Margene (Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin), who live in separate, adjacent houses and take turns sharing their husband each night. While managing the household finances together and routinely sharing “family home nights,” they try to keep simmering jealousies in check and their arrangement a secret — polygamy is illegal in Utah and banned by the mainstream Mormon Church. Adding to Bill’s woes are a series of crises affecting his parents (Bruce Dern and Grace Zabriskie), who live on a fundamentalist compound in rural Utah, and his ruthless father-in-law, Roman (Harry Dean Stanton), the powerful head of the polygamist commune where his parents live. Bold, funny and wholly original, Big Love explores the evolving institution of marriage through a typical atypical family. The new series airs Sundays at 10pm beginning March 12th, immediately following Season Six of The Sopranos®.
The executive producers of BIG LOVE are Playtone’s Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman and series creators Mark V. Olsen & Will Scheffer (writer of HBO’s “In the Gloaming”), who produced the independent feature film “Easter.”
