HBO Greenlights Fourth Season of "Big Love"

Posted by Lindy Parker

 

Here's the thing, we have a couple of problems with Big Love: 1) It never seems to be quite as intriguing in practice as it is in theory, and 2) Bill Paxton is always the same.  In everything.  That said, there does seem to be quite a fierce contingent of BL followers who will be thrilled with the news of a fourth season.  Show creators Will Scheffer and Mark V. Olsen certainly are...

We couldn't be happier. We love making this show and we love our collaboration with HBO. They've truly been maligned in the press this year. If you show me a better network to work with I'll eat our DVD collections.

Mark and I want to tell our fans we're still truly sorry for the long wait last year. We promise two things. As season three continues they'll forget about the time they waited and get caught up in our best season ever. And we also swear we won't make them wait as long next year.  Mark and I insist on making a better show each year, so we won't ever stint on quality, but we're trying to be better faster. (E! Online)

 Sweet, no?  Their exuberance almost makes us want to give Big Love another try.

    Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.
