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.

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."

You guys were so excited about yesterday's
"Big Love" back story clip that I decided to go see if the others were online. Good news: I've got 'em!
In the
"Five Years Ago" clip, Barb — rocking a seriously bad mom 'do — visits Nicki in the hospital, and Nicki freaks out that Bill is going to expect her to have child after child forever.
