Wow, HBO has some confidence in its premiere Mormon family, the Henricksons.  Only a few episodes into its third season, HBO has picked up Big Love for a fourth season!

Check out what the ecstatic Big Love creators, Will SCheffer and Mark V. Olsen told E! Online:

We couldn't be happier. We love making this show and we love our collaboration with HBO. They've truly been maligned in the press this year. If you show me a better network to work with I'll eat our DVD collections.

Mark and I want to tell our fans we're still truly sorry for the long wait last year. We promise two things. As season three continues they'll forget about the time they waited and get caught up in our best season ever. And we also swear we won't make them wait as long next year.  Mark and I insist on making a better show each year, so we won't ever stint on quality, but we're trying to be better faster.
