Now that Big Love has veered off deep into Culture of Death territory, we'll be cancelling our HBO subscription.

Goodbye and good riddance, HBO.

Sarah? Big Love? HBO? (Ok, I’ve heard about HBO before.)

I really enjoyed the first few episodes but I thought they had played out the characters too quickly and were turning into a soap opera - apparently it got worse after I left.

Rome, Deadwood, Big Love - all great series. I often think of saving money and doing w/o HBO, but these series keep me hanging on.

Tonight’s show was engrossing. I don’t see Sarah’s statement as being nihilist. She was a single, unwed mother. She was going to keep the baby. That doesn’t mean that she isn’t relieved that things went the other way. You can be sad and relieved at the same time; it doesn’t make you a nihilist, it just makes you human.

HBO has always been a nihilist cess pool, even before Big Love jumped the shark. The makers of that show appear to be sodomites intent on broadening the definition of marriage to fit their needs. It had some good writing, and some interesting characters—but largely a demonic agenda.

I loved the Sopranos and I admit I loved Six Feet Under dispite the liberalism in it. I tried watching Big Love the first three episodes but never got ino it.

I’ve thought about canceling HBO since they haven’t had a good series in a while and because of Bill Maher. But after hearing this, I’m more inclined to cancel now.

I’m only interested in 2 Sarahs: the one from the Bible and the one from Alaska.

The HBO Execs are mostly weenies.

However, Taking Chance is an outstanding movie. Don’t cancel until you see it.

Then go ahead and cancel.

HBO - here Hollywood, take the money right out of my pocket and use it to elect Obama. Oh, and corrupt my family with sex and socialism and bad words, all in an attractive package.

She didn’t abort the child - the child died. All things in God’s plans aren’t sweet and rosy. The child miscarrying wasn’t her plan... Bad things happen - and as the cliche says - sometimes to good people. I didn’t see the show you’re talking about but on the face of it - having mixed feelings about such an event can be an emotional saving grace.

Im proud to say that I have never EVER had HBO. Even during the Sopranos and Band of Brothers run, I would download the episodes instead of giving HBO a Nielsen #.

So the show about polygamy wasn’t offensive *before*?
