Anybody see Big Love on HBO?

I couldn't watch it for more than 20 minutes but am curious if anyone else did and had anything to convince me to give it another look. One guy with a bad body who was naked at one point, three marginal wives (that Jeanne Tripplehorn woman has always scared me) and 7 kids live in three houses and the redneck owns a hardware store or something. WTF is HBO thinking? How is this guy feeding 11 people let alone paying three mortgages? No wonder why he can't get it up or keep it up or whatever his malfunction was.

It was such a letdown after Sopranos.

I just posted something about that in the other thread.

I watched it. I can't see why HBO is hyping it so much, except that it has some minor league names in it.

The storylines were pretty ho-hum - even the impotence subplot was boring & predictable.

Actually, at one point, I couldn't stop laughing when Deb (from Napoleon Dynamite) appeared as one of the teen waitresses.

I agree - a total letdown.
