First, I will confess… I’m addicted to Big Love. I watch very little television and yet I find myself planning my whole monday around how much I can accomplish before I go on Hiatus to watch my weekly indulgence. At first I loved the show just because it was so different than all the other “family dramas” out there. Now that I’m a few seasons in, I really think it’s more like normal life (minus the multiple wives) than most would give it credit for. At the end of the day it’s just about the in’s and out’s of a very large family. You have your matriarch (Barb), your head of the household (Bill), your black sheep (Bill’s dad) and everything else… fueding siblings, family rivalry, support in times of need or confusion… it’s all there.

And in the middle of it all… is Margie. I couldn’t picture a sweeter, more down to earth, and personally relatable character than her. I see so much of what I was like years ago. And it has been interesting to watch her really blossom and display her position with the other wives this season. She may actually be becoming an adult right before our very eyes. Anyhow, I stumbled across the Margie Blog on HBO’s website, and although I think it’s a bit hokey to have character blogs, I enjoyed the opportunity to get more depth on who Margie is supposed to be. Enjoy.
