About the Show

[Replies: 41]
At first glance, Bill Henrickson seems to lead a typical suburban life. A hard-working husband and father of seven, this Salt Lake City native tries to find enough time for his family while overseeing the expansion of his successful home-improvement business. But Bill is also a polygamist ? and with three wives and three homes to maintain, his life is anything but ordinary.

Just had to share this as a huge fan of "Big Love"

I attended the Sunday Matinee (11/16/08) of "All My Sons" on Broadway and had the incredible luck to have Bill Paxton sit next to me. I made a complete fool of myself and jumped when I recognized him on my left.

The poor man was very sweet and more gracious than you can imagine. I told him how much I loved the show and even pumped him for information. He said they had just finished work a couple of weeks ago and he was exhausted. He seemed very pleased with how this season went and said we will really like it. He said that Roman goes on trial, Nicki takes her thievery/embezzling to a whole new level, Margene's baby has already been born (which we know from the blog on the HBO site) and he confirmed that the Greenes are back, too.

He very kindly signed autographs for myself and three other friends. And, he's a well-prepared celebrity--he opened he jacket and had two black sharpies in the inner-pocket. The man must be used to getting recognized.

And, let me confirm, that Bill Paxton is VERY handsome in person as well as being, incredibly patient and sweet.

Just watched "True Blood" on HBO's 6 p.m. East Coast feed (I'm in California). Anyhow, after the show there was a short.. but VERY interesting and somewhat revealing.. 'on location' promo for the new "Big Love" season 3 coming in January. It's worth watching!

Just thought those who plan to watch TB later tonight might like to know there's a little Big Love afterward. :)

Bill and Don own 2 HomePlus stores which are sort of like a Home Depot. We are given the impression that Bill is quite successful. But about 10 years ago, he had to get $ from Roman (Nicki's father) because Barb was battling cancer. He also married Nicki about that time. There are a lot of unanswered questions about the details that we are still hoping will be explained.

I haven't been this challenged since I first watched Law & Order 14 years ago.

HBO is doing a great job supporting new and creative shows.

I hope this show will help people learn to respect other people's spaces and different way of lives more than ever before.


Sincerely,

George Lien

I haven't watched much TV for over 25 years, but this show has captured my attention more than once because my wife loves it! Due to the attention this show has put on poly, I thinks it great, although I thinks most of the characters are painted in an evil light as being dis-honest, bullies, selfish and dishonorable and some are outright demonized. That I believe, is a great dis-service to the God given blessing of poly. It would be nice if you could make a real role model men and women would like to be like, instead of just another drama to keep people glued to the TV. I hope since you guys have really touched on a nerve in many people's lives (Poly) that you will help the women who want and need good families and husbands, will be influenced by your work on BIG LOVE to join a poly family, because families are desperately searching for their 2nd or 3rd wife, and for years many are not finding them. Instead of our society turning women into public property (prostitutes) I believe we should be turning them into wives and mothers.

Ok I am off my soap box.
We started a myspace profile that is pro-poly where you can get hooked up with families for free
at www.myspace.com/happywives
As well as a real website at www.happypolywives.com
We have one of the largest poly blogs to be found anywhere in the net and even some of your interviews with the actors of Big Love are reproduced there.
Hope this letter don't offend the editors.
Thanks
God bless

I can relate. There have been shows that I have watched for so long and can't stop watching just because I have watched since the beginning. I have to know what is going on but don't really want to watch LOL.

LOL! I never watched the showin question it just struck me as funny you wanted them to cancell so you wouldn't have to watch it! As if they force you!

I have also felt that way at times. One of my favs on another network is shark jumping or so it would seem but i can't seem to quit watchin it either! Maybe I should write the network and ask them to cancell it for my good?

Anyway I got a good laugh out of your post! Thanks I needed one!

They canceled "tell me you love me" the creator couldnt figure out where to go with the show. It was a pretty awful show anyway. I watched it, but was hoping it would be canceled so I wouldnt have to keep watching.
