"Big Love" Canceled By HBO As TLC's "Sister Wives" Gains Popularity

HBO's "Big Love" has been canceled, and will air no more after the 5th season. "Big Love" is petering out as TLC's reality series "Sister Wives" is gaining steam. Given the fascination with polygamy, you would think that HBO would ride the series out.

However, as much as I love "Big Love" things got a little wild n' wacky on the show. The first season was great. It was everything you'd expect from an HBO series - plenty of drama, sex, and believable situations.

However, during the fourth season you go from four people trying to live life low profile to a circus involving a jewelry company, a home improvement store, a casino on an Indian reservation, murder, and government investigations.

For all of us who like "Big Love" we can hope and pray that Kody Brown and his wives are able to keep up their series "Sister Wives." It's an honest look into the polygamous lifestyle, and don't forget to watch a special which airs on Sunday.
