Is Big Love Reality TV?

Fueled by a 15-year-old girl's claim that she'd had a baby by her 50-year-old husband, over 400 women and children were taken by Child Protection Services from the fundamentalist sect of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints yestereday in West Texas and placed in shelters. Suffering and heartbreak aside, the scandal will be just the ticket ratings-wise for the polygamist drama Big Love when it returns in the fall to HBO, which hasn't been feeling so hot lately.
