She's a tiny little self-centered person. I hate her. So you know it's good writing.

I was thinking last night that I don't really like her but love when she and Barb or she and Margie are getting along. They've developed these characters nicely. That or I'm hoping for a foursome scene.

I don't feel that Nikkie is ever 'getting along' with anyone, she's just always scheming...she really buys into this plural wife first wife thing more than the others (mostly cause her daddys a whack job), but it seems like Barb agreed to it only cause she thought she was dying and Margeen finally found someone in her life who would take care of her after years of men taking advantage and treating her like garbage.

Utah is weird man, very very weird, this documentary show on HBO just reiterates that.

BTW - The WWE is just freaking hillarious, and they used the 'word' irregardless last night

I dunno -- I sensed Nikki genuinely appreciating Margie last night for going with her and stepping her responsibility up a bit. But the wives' different feelings on and reasons for the plural marriage thing are key to the show, I agree.

Ben's g/f would be pretty hot but for the Olivia Newton John hair do.

I thought Big Love was a chick show.

Anyway, I've been watching a few Arrested Development episodes on DVD, and I'm not sure what I think about it yet. No question it's good, and it probably failed because it was unusual. What I wonder about, though, is how does the series develop? If the show manages to keep going in ways that are interesting, it will be quite an achievement.

I read that the rest of season three is set to return in October - but I highly doubt there will be a fourth season.


The main two guys who created the series were signed to do projects for FOX so it it would come back they would most likely have limited involvement with a new season. I don't see it coming back for a fourth season and it would probatly not be as good with the changes. It's a shame because I have read it gets almost double the ratings of shows like the pityful Mind of Mencia.

I've also read that CC thiks the humor of DT is too risky which is laughable because of what they allow South Park to do. This remind me of the situation when they cancelled Strangers With Candy which rocked. It was a shame that show was cancelled the way it was a few years back :(

Looks like live feeds of Big Brother 8 will be shown on ShowtimeToo from midnight-3AM ET (which would be 9pm-midnight in the house) during every night of the show's run.

Other BB rumors floating out there:

-- this year's theme is high school bullies and the people they picked on
-- Janelle and Dr Will will be teammates in the next Amazing Race

I enjoyed Big Love and John from Cincinnati. Entourage...meh. I found myself not wanting John from Cincinnati to end.

I thought Entourage was very funny - and I enjoyed Flight of the Conchords this week

There was no new episode of "Big Love" this week, right?

Honestly, I enjoy Big Love as much as I liked the Sopranos. Heck, I'd watch just for Ginnifer Goodwin - she just becomes "Margene."

Hard to believe she's going out with Chris Klein.

It's on Monday nights, tonight's episode description:

Bill and Nicki drive to Juniper Creek for a family reunion.

Plus, how will Ben react to being caught in compromising situation with Margene?

Catch a new episode of Big Love, Monday at 9 pm.

Thanks - I usually watch it on On Demand, and for some reason thought the new episodes air on Mondays.

Good TV night, with Big Love and a new episode of The Closer. More than makes up for no Phillies game.

Anyone else watching the Ice Road Trucker show on the History Channel on Sundays? Pretty good stuff. Especially if you like to listen to big hairy Canadian guys who curse a lot.

They keep advertising a series about "underground cities" so you may be in luck.
