Well, it’s finally over—the Big Love series finale aired last night on HBO, bringing an end to five years of Bill Paxton and his TV family bound together by fundamentalist Morman polygamy that spans from his private household all the way to the U.S. Senate. How did the ending go over? Well…

New year! New DVD Releases! And there’s a lot to choose from even though the choices are pretty slim.

Something must be in the water because cable shows are getting canceled left and right. According to a report from EW, the HBO polygamy themed drama “Big Love” will go to TV heaven after the end of its fifth season. The network announced the big news today (no pun intended), which means we’ll be saying goodbye to Bill Paxton, Jeanne Triplehorn, Chloe Sevigny, and Ginnifer Goodwin.

According to EW, the actress had to give up the lead role in Zack Snyder’s next film Sucker Punch due to scheduling conflicts. Seyfried stars as the daughter of polygamist Bill Paxton on the hit HBO series Big Love. The series is in the middle of filming their fourth season and the cable network refuses to allow her time off to film the movie.
