FYI I uploaded a family tree created using Visio at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Big_love_familytree.jpg . I'm new to Wikipedia, rather than trying to edit the page thought I'd just alert the primary author of the page.

The WikiProject Television list this article as being a Start-Class article of Low Importance. This may have been true when the article was first started, but I suggest this should be updated. The article seems to be relatively well written with a lot of information about the show and several citations. The show itself is controversial ( http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102119413 ) ( http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,705289746,00.html ), noteworthy ( http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99136553 ) ( http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5254017 ), and entertaining ( http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b82445_big_love_season_four_go.html ).

Roman Grant is a very tricky man, and we've thought him a goner at least twice before. Can we really call him deceased just because he was strangled at the end of the season finale? I think in the least, there should be a footnote noting that it's possible he's alive. --Crushti (talk) 15:08, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I removed the following text because it refers only to events in the Season 3 finale:
Family tree needs to have the following added: Ted Price, Barb's brother-in-law (married to Cindy); Ned Johanssen, Barb's step-father (married to Nancy). I would do it, but don't know how to add people to this type of tree, so someone with knowledge of how this type of tree works here will have to give it a go. Thanks! --SkagitRiverQueen (talk) 19:28, 6 February 2010 (UTC) Additionally, Adaleen was "sealed" to "JJ" causing a need to amend the Tree. "JJ"'s parents, The Walkers, were introduced but I am not sure if there First Names were mentioned. If they were mentioned, they should be added
Nikki and Margene's children by Bill retain their mother's last name. This is the case when the children are not from the father and the civil, legal wife. This is also why Bill is a Henrickson as opposed to a Harlow, since Lois is not the legal wife when Bill is born (she is the legal wife now). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.127.168.166 (talk) 12:59, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Actually that is not true. In the episode were Wayne is going to the Catholic school he is referred to as Wayne Hendrickson and Nicky is called Mrs. Henrickson. Just because they were not a legal wife does not mean that the children will go by their mothers last names. Lois probably gave Bill and Joey the last name Hendrickson because of the connection to her father the prophet instead of a man her family felt was not worthy of her. In real life that is not the case either. One good example of this is Warren Jeffs. His mother was not the first wife of his father-he would have been called Warren Steed if that were the case — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.77.127.106 (talk) 15:41, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
I updated the family tree: made it more vertically oriented. The maximum width is fifty parameters, and we were hitting that. I also added a key. Hopefully those categories make sense. There's not a good way to have separate line types for "former plural marriage" and "former traditional marriage," so I figured just "former marriage" was enough. Also, I made the variable names for the relatives all 5 characters, because this makes it much easier to line up the chart parameters correctly. Does anyone know why the Joey/Wanda family boxes are colored green, or have thoughts about whether to keep them green? 76.24.22.233 (talk) 02:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Why was the change to the number of episodes undone?
There are 43 episodes in total now (see the episode list), 12 each in seasons 1 & 2, 10 in season 3 and 9 in season 4, 12+12+10+9=43. The page is showing as only 40 episodes total which is wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.14.139 (talk) 12:56, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
The Overview needs an overhaul. Currently, 4 of the 6 sentences in the Overview are about the fricking music in the show.
The section on Mormon Reception is not neutral. It should be amended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.85.247.241 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 17 March 2009

Hi. I noticed that there are a couple of needed additions to the ancestry chart for the Henrickson children. In the finale, Sarah and Scott have a child, named after Sarah's father, William Orville. William Orville Quittman should be added there. Also seen in the finale is Heather Tuttle who is now married to Ben Henrickson. I am unable to figure out how to add these to the chart as it appears complicated and out of my abilities. Hopefully someone who watches and edits this page can make the change. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alaska4Me2 (talk • contribs) 19:24, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
