Does this have the production values of something like Big Love? No, of course not. BL had the resources of HBO to draw on. But you know, I'd rather watch a show about this than BL. Maybe some network or big cable channel will see this, and then do a big, expensive, high-production-values version. That would be cool.
Coincidentally, while I was typing this, the Geico "does it take two to tango?" commercial came on. I'd like to see a dance made for three.
Despite what another commenter said this was a good first episode. As part of a poly triad which is about to move in together I'm chuckling :) Thank you.
I have been in a poly FMF triad for the last five years and I like to think we are a pretty good normal disfunctional family. My partners are a married couple with 3 children (I got to cut the cord on the third). We have lived together, raised the kids, had huge arguements and amazing romantic times. This lifestyle come very natuarally to me.
It's pretty well established that women IN GENERAL are more sexually fluid than men IN GENERAL. That doesn't mean that every woman is fluid or that no man is.
And besides, like you said: it isn't just about the sex.
What a hilariously wonderful show you guys have put together! I spent last evening watching up to the interview episodes, now I only have a few more left and I'm looking forward to more! :)
Good job presenting a topic that isn't well-presented. I'm new to implementing a polyamorous lifestyle myself so some of the scenes where those of us new to poly might tense up in that situation are even more powerful.
I mean, I know it's acting, but it's very good!! :)

lol "typical" polyamorous triad...whatever you say. I say just forget about even being committed at all to anyone and just date and sleep with whoever you want for the rest of your life. Sounds much more fulfilling, I mean why be tied down by 1, 2, or even 3 partners when you can just have everyone..sounds good to me!! ...yea.... what a joke this is.
As a fellow polyamorist in Seattle, I want to cheer this on! I just hear about it on Fark, and I'm so excited! I don't know if you guys ever read these comments, but well, Yay! Did you all see the poly pride contingent in the pride parade this year?
i like this :). i currently have a bf and gf myself. my gf is married (husband knows) and my bf is seeing a girl on a casual basis. i know the acting isn't incredible and the music is cheezy, but i do like the lines in the story. And i like the way they make it both serious and playful at the same time. i can't wait to read the rest :).
Read Robert Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". Great SF book, great read, and funny. Good example of the possibilities of multiple-partner contracts to form family groups.
More power to these folks - hope they can make it work long-term.
This is a- BORING, b- has boring, predictable dialog and c- has TERRIBLE MUSIC!!
ugh. why dont they explore something deeper about this lifestyle like, "maybe people dont get why we both being married or how we are totally connected to the other, if we're off seeing other people" not "Oo tee hee, we're gonna talk smack about you on aim! tee hee!!" that could be anything. except i wouldnt make it a what seems endless dialog on a series. ugh, DULL.
This is only the first episode. Later episodes explore poly scheduling difficulties, the question of raising children, and the issue of a poly person dating someone who is not poly.
@famerebel - Actually, it kinda should be "boring". A poly family isn't like "Big Love" with constant dramas (unless they have teenagers - in which it WOULD be a MGM Epic Drama!!). Poly families are like other families - mundane.
This was just under six and a half minutes. I don't expect tons of depth in the first six and a half minutes. If, several eps later, I find it not to be engaging, THEN I'll give up on it.

My wife and I have been in a poly relationship for the past 12 years and we live in Seattle. We absolutely LOVE this series and want to thank you for posting these for the rest of us! Seriously, I feel that this is more than just entertainment; it is a way to let the world know that poly folk are more mainstream than suspected. Bravo for a great job all around.
My hubby and I are poly, He's kinda seeing someone right now, and im just rekindling something ....idk, i can just see THAT being us...lol. its great!!!

As a show, IT SUCKS! it looks as if they have rehearsed the script well and the overacting girl..damn. Well, who knows how the future ones are. I hope you put more of a reality in these type of relationships as in a personal case in which friends were affected by STDs, because it is common in these type of relationships...I'll keep watching with an open mind, but personally I don't like this idea of a show and worst that is poorly created. but it's my opinion.

This is sooooooooooooo bad the girl over acts I could only stand 2 minutes of this trite. Watch Big love on HBO it is way better no females that look and squawk like canaries. Ugh there go two minutes of my life I cannot get back :)
I love the shows, as a part-time Seattle poly person... I have been to meetings like that and know many MS poly folk. Actually know one of the actors in Ep2. Keep it coming, I am still laughing and sharing it.
terisa- i think this is a clever plotline. I gotta say- the song is cool and everything but it feels like an odd combo with the show. i mean i get it, you know, 'different kind of family'--but i have a hard time meshing the sound with the content.
Thanks for making this! Should be interesting to see more! They do live in the kind of neighborhood where they will talk a lot with the neighbors. Let's see what happens. xo Beki
There is so much we find funny in our poly situation! I once ask Rabbit if I could leave marks on her (our) boyfriend. She asked me if I was going to scratch "SLAVE" into his back or something. No, I replied, I was thinking of writing "Hi Rabbit!"
I did, actually :-) Immediately after I left the comment here, I made a journal entry in my LiveJournal and recommended that everyone check it out. Being a polyactivist, I'm always interested in, and promoting, positive poly media.
I think this has some promise to it. I particularly enjoyed the opening conversation where they discussed the complications of being "out". I look forward to more episodes.
you're welcome; I guess what made me think of it was the idea of an unconventional relationship in a seemingly "normal" suburban neighborhood that the other neighbors have difficulty accepting you for.
I have seen "Little Children" - wow! what a comparison. Not sure what you're seeing that makes that connection for you, but hey, that was a great movie, so I'll take it! Please do shar the series with as many people as you can! Thanks for watching! :)
This made me smile!

FMF is so legit
MFM is a little iffy
i just have more faith that 2 girls would be poly amorous for the right reason
then 2 guys
i don't trust guys
and i don't think anyone does
plus how many guys in MFM would be down to go down on the other guy?
on the other hand i know pretty well most girls are down lol
