Aarons didn't mean to satirize those scrumptious creatures, their opulence or their strangely bewitching narcissism.

But Scheffer says, "This show is not really about polygamy, in the same way that The Sopranos is not really about the Mob." Except that Tony Soprano only has one family at home--to handle three, that takes real guts. And a little blue pill...
