Yes, I have seen it- saw it last weekend.

Initial impressions? Bring back Sopranos, Lucky Louie, and a whole crapload of new Entourage, LOL! I don't know, John will probably end up being OK but who knows.

+ 1. BRING BACK THE SOPRANOS!!! I just recently watched the 1st and 2nd episode this past Thursday on On-Demand. It starts off slow but the characters are pretty good, especially Ed O'Neil, aka Al Bundy. I liked it enough to planned to watch it tonight. Not sure who John is as of yet, but it seems as though he is an angel... I'll give it the for now...

Well I don't like big love for several reasons: it's stupid, not to mention it's stupid, and should I stumble onto it every now and again, I am reminded quickly of how stupid it is. But the TRUE reason I won't have anything to do with it is: it's stupid.

Yeah, my wife and I have been trying to get into it. I immediately liked seeing Rebecca De Mornay as Butchie's grandmother. What a sexy grandma! Remember De Mornay in the role of the young Hooker in "Risky Business" with Tom Cruise (with whom she lived for 2 1/2 years).

Really like seeing Ed O'Neill (played Al Bundy in Married....with Children) playing the retired cop.

It's a strange show. If someone wants to explain it to me, I'd sure appreciate the help.

We haven't seen every episode, so we don't really understand what's going on.

From what we've watched, we might not understand what's going on even if we had seen every episode.

Tom: We voted for ya...gave you an 11

Well I have made it through one episode and came to the same conclusions as my opinion on Big Love a few posts above...No way I am wasting an hour watching that again when I have Forza and Rainbow Six Vegas Now Entourage and Flight of the Concords(sp?) are a different story...

I too wasnt sure about this show when it first started but it was too odd to not watch the second one, now Im hooked. I think its headed somewhere incredible. John's Soliloquy last night at the motel was awesome; very deep.

oh and ed oniel is brilliant in this.
