I'm not whining. Frankly, I couldn't care less. I've never watched the show and don't intend to. I simply find it amusing that Mike thinks a Big Love joke indicates good due diligence on the part of the writers.
"Hmmm, let's see. We've got a Mormon character, so let's make a joke about .... polygamy! Har har har! How original!" Did they do their research? There's no real way to know, is there. But I don't think the assumption that they did is on any more fundamentally sound ground than that they didn't.

It plays very well in the actual show. I don't remember any alchohol jokes, and referring to someone as "Big Love" isn't strictly a polygamy joke. I just think it's hilarious that certain people think that accuracy in flippant insults would make for "good" or "realistic" writing.

Am I the only person who has never watched an episode of House?
Like pretty much every other show on network television, it offers me absolutely no reason to watch it.

And yet you didn't actually see the show in question, so unless you admit to being spoonfed your position by the loon at deseret news, I'm not sure why you're even opining.
