HBO Renews Its Vows With Big Love
Big news for Big Love: The polygamy drama will be back next year for a fourth season! HBO announced the renewal with a statement saying, "The series keeps getting better and better."
One thing that wasn't getting better, at least earlier this season, was the ratings — the show's season three premiere (which came after a long break caused in large part by the writers' strike) drew just 1.2 million viewers.
First Look: Big Love Season Three
It's been such a long wait for the third season of Big Love. Thanks to the writers' strike, the HBO drama won't return till January — almost 18 months after it was last on TV.
But there are finally some real signs that we're getting close to the premiere, including the first couple of promos that HBO's rolled out over the past week or so.
Movie Preview: Winged Creatures
I watched the trailer for Winged Creatures before I knew the full cast list. I already knew that it included Forrest Whitaker and Jennifer Hudson and was surprised to find a whole slew of other amazing actors involved, including Jackie Earle Haley, Guy Pearce, Kate Beckinsale, and Big Love's Jeanne Tripplehorn. In addition, there's Dakota Fanning as a real, live teenager — not a precocious little kid.
TV Tonight: Big Love, From the Beginning
HBO was kind enough to fill the Big Love-sized hole in my heart with a recap video a few weeks back. But if you'd rather catch up on the show's first two seasons the old-fashioned way, it will be possible starting tonight.
HBO2 will air one episode from the series in order for the next 24 Saturdays, starting at 8 p.m.
Catch Up on Big Love in Four Minutes
This "Big Love in Four Minutes" video HBO just put together makes me a little sad, because it's still going to be a long, long wait to see the show's third season. Thanks to the writers' strike, the series — which should have been on right now — won't be seen again till January 2009.
The good news is, that should give anyone who hasn't seen the first two seasons of the drama plenty of time to get caught up the old-fashioned way, by renting DVDs or checking out episodes On Demand.
Jeanne Tripplehorn to Play Jackie Kennedy Onassis
Wow, I probably never would have thought of this, but now that she's been cast it makes sense: Jeanne Tripplehorn, known mostly for her role on Big Love, will play Jackie O in HBO Films' production Grey Gardens.
Based on a 1975 documentary, the story follows Big Edie and Little Edie (played by Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore, respectively), the "aunt and cousin of Onassis who made headlines when the health department threatened to raid their flea- and raccoon-infested 28-room East Hampton, N.Y., mansion."
I am always drawn in by Tripplehorn's performances on Big Love and I'm curious to see what she does with this role.
"Big Love" Gets a Third Season of Love from HBO
Hooray for "Big Love"! HBO's polygamy drama will return for a third season — as many installments as Bill Henrickson has wives.
The show hasn't exactly had an easy year this year, holding down the fort for HBO alone on Monday nights.
Hilarious Fake Commercials for "Big Love"
While I was searching for those "Big Love" back story clips last week, I came across a couple of hysterical fake commercials HBO produced to promote the show's second season. Like the commercials for cremation shakers and fake skin in the first episode of "Six Feet Under," these false ads promote products that would make your life as a polygamist better.
The first, for "Eau de Polygamie," promotes a fragrance that will let you "set yourself apart from all his other wives."
The Rest of the "Big Love" Back Stories
You guys were so excited about yesterday's "Big Love" back story clip that I decided to go see if the others were online. Good news: I've got 'em!
In the "Five Years Ago" clip, Barb — rocking a seriously bad mom 'do — visits Nicki in the hospital, and Nicki freaks out that Bill is going to expect her to have child after child forever.
Cool Clip: "Big Love" Back Story
One of the first things I wondered when I started catching up on "Big Love" was how the Henrickson family came to be. Luckily, HBO is answering some of my questions with a series of three clips following the family's back story.
I first stumbled upon the clips when I checked out the series through Comcast's On Demand service, but at least one of them is online, and it's a doozy: Bill brings Margene home for the first time as the new babysitter, but Nicki sees through the ruse and realizes Bill's eyeing a new wife.
