Members Thunderbroom Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 Anyone besides my family and I watch Big Love on HBO? While it's far from the best show I've seen on TV, I do find the whole polygamy thing fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spinedriver Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 My wife & I have watched it so far, but it's reaaly quite far fetched. Bill's PARENTS live the real Mormon lifestyle. As far as the 3 families living big, nice houses like that, and the wives telling him what they want him to do, etc.. it just DOESN'T HAPPEN like that. It's almost as if the show is an ad for polygamy or something. welcome to the NEW age of Mormon... No more living in ratty old farms, women no longer treated like servants, wear whatever kinds of clothes you want, etc... I know once or twice an episode, someone says a prayer, but they (the main family) really don't live a very religious lifestyle, and that's kind of the point of being a mormon/polygamist. Their bible (book of Mormon) tells them that this is how they're SUPPOSED to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I know very little about polygamy, I find the show interesting. The show does make me wonder if there are folks similar to Bill in the show that do live polygamist's lives yet try to be somewhat mainstream also.

Members NV43345 Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 Mrs."NV" & I love the Sopranos, so we started watching Big love since it came on after. We like it. We only watched a few minutes of last nights show and taped the rest. We were both horny as hell and had to have "Booty time". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SA Rios Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 My fiance loves the show, I too find it far fetched but I watch it anyways. Besides getting to have sex 7 days a week with 3 different women, I don't know how any man could handle 3 wives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
