Dear Sugar,
I am 29 years old and in love with a guy who is in love with me. We met several months ago, but just a couple of weeks ago he moved thousands of miles away for a job — our relationship wasn't established enough for him to stay here with me over the job, or for me to quit my job and leave everything behind to move with him. We decided to stay committed since we love each other so much, but I feel so sad that he's gone.
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.
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.
Bad News for Fans of HBO Series: Everything's Delayed If you were eagerly looking forward to this Summer for new seasons of HBO favorites like Big Love, Entourage, and Flight of the Conchords, here's some bad news: You're going to have to keep waiting. As a result of the writers' strike, all of those shows have been pushed till Fall — if not beyond.
If you were eagerly looking forward to this Summer for new seasons of HBO favorites like
Big Love,
Entourage, and
Flight of the Conchords, here's some bad news: You're going to have to keep waiting. As a result of the
writers' strike, all of those shows have been pushed till Fall — if not beyond.
The strike
delayed filming on several series, including Entourage and True Blood, the
vampire series starring Anna Paquin and written by
Six Feet Under's Alan Ball.
There seems to be some unspoken understanding that sex is better if you're in love with the person. Though I've found this to be the case, sex can also be amazingly fun with someone new or completely not your type. I know a few people that don't need that level of connectedness in order to be with someone, so ladies tell me, what's your vote?
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.
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."
Recently, I gave HBO's Sunday lineup the No. 2 spot on my list of
10 reasons to keep your TV on this summer, and tonight, we'll get to see all four reasons why:
- A "Big Love" rerun! New episodes premiere on Mondays, but this repeat airing gives us another chance to catch up with the Henrickson family.
- "John from Cincinnati." Sure, this show seemed pretty inscrutable during last week's premiere, but I'm willing to give it a few episodes to see what comes next.
- "Entourage"!
