"Big Sky"

Does anyone else enjoy “Big Sky”? I really like this show (because it’s Montana mostly). But I am so frustrated with its scheduling. They will show one episode about every three weeks. By then I have forgotten the plot and the characters. Also, what happened to Ronald? Thanks!

1. Lost interest after the premiere. I couldn't believe they killed off the star the promos highlighted

in the first episode. But, yeah, the setting was appealing. I just resent shows that manipulate the audience like that.

Did I miss out?

but I really enjoyed this show, particularly the first season with crazy Ronald and his crazier mother. The two women leads are very good too. Sorry to hear that it’s supposed to be canceled although the scheduling is probably to blame!

It will be off until sometime in May, which is a good strategy to lose even more viewers. At least they haven't switched the time slot. I have no idea why this show hasn't caught on, but it's struggling in the ratings and could be cancelled soon. I believe you can stream the episodes on Hulu.

.... A knife in the neck, laying on the floor, surrounded by several people who say he's dead, then he is truly the cockroach of human beings.
Big sky is a good show, and the two women who star in the series are perfectly cast.
What I find interesting is, that after getting shot in the head, and buried in his pickup truck, whenever you look at the guide referencing this show, Ryan Phillippe is still listed as one of its ongoing stars.
A suggestion that you might or might not want to consider is recording the show, then after viewing, save it until the next episode, then you can rewatch it, or run through it for reminders of what happened. I find this helpful, especially when I am a fan of such a complicated show with so many twists and turns. One of the few shows I truly enjoy.
