Sam McGee refrence. on Big Love

The other night on HBO hit show Big Love, there was small scene with the old cranky grandmother reciting to the grandkids of family The Cremation of Sam McGee . Growing up I had heard different members of my family recite it over and over , but I always thought it was just a Lee family inspired poem, not something which other outside the Lee clan would even know about. And yet here it was on Big Love. Looking at the wikipedia on it there is no mention of the poem being hijacked by Mormons but somehow the writers of the show were able to tap into these little snips of my life.. over and over again.
Need I say more Big Love is really worth watching for any Mormon Jack Mormon or anyone who wants to peek inside and visit what its like to be a Mormon.
