Desperate Housewives

[PhoneSexOperator]

So, last night's season finale was like primetime Passions. There was a mental hospital escape, a child from a one-night stand 12 years ago, and a wacko dentist randomly on purpose running over the plumber. Oh and Carlos is doing the maid. It's getting so...cliched.

[AvaMarie]

Yeah, pretty bad. The only part that seemed remotely genuine was when Lynette told Tom that she had let him go. Gaby's maid listening to her and staying there? What? Like Carlos wouldn't tell her to go with him. I am looking forward to crazy Zach with the millions.

[lovemyshows]

I used to tune into this show every Sunday but then i felt like it was polluting my brian.. i mean i am all for television that could not possibly be real but is entertaining but this was just too much drama to swalllow in one week... hope they tone it down next season!

[Umnata]

the show's a true horror but oh so fun to recap!

[ryan07]

Wow. The premiere was great I have to say. Marcia Cross just needs a damn Emmy already. I really hope they keep it up. It seems like there's some new blood in the production department.

[Pekmboyd]

Wow. The premiere was great I have to say. Marcia Cross just needs a damn Emmy already. I really hope they keep it up. It seems like there's some new blood in the production department.

I have to agree that it was much better than any episode from last season...but I'm still hesitant to put it back on my must-watch list...fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

It was pretty good - but not great. I am already tired of the "love child" storyline and we are only one ep into the new season. I also want Eva to go back to her darker hair - that blonde stuff just washes her out.

[tvaholic]

I thought the premier was pretty funny. I have to say I love the addition of the crazy baby-momma, that couple was too bland.

[may1]

It seems as though the producers are getting the show back on track. Last year was terrible! This first episode was much better, and more in line with the first season.
I agree, Eva's hair does wash her out.
I really hope that Orson doesn't turn out to be another nut case, hasn't Bree been with enough nut case's? I heard they were not writing her real life pregnancy into the storyline. Also, no mention of her son? Will he be back this year?

[megz912]

and what about the applewhites? are we to completely forget about them?

[Ness]

and what about the applewhites? are we to completely forget about them?

uh, yes.

[ryan07]

Did anyone see tonight's episode? It was so funny. Eva Longoria gets the best lines though.

I loved it when Carlos was trying to break in and she called the cops and told them, "Could you have them come armed? I think he's Mexican." She probably told the writers to put that in the script or something. Remember when she got into trouble for shouting racial slurs to a Mexican cop? She probably wanted to make fun of it.

I think that was the best line of the night. I was actually just telling someone about it today but it's not as funny as when Gabby says it. And her physical comedy had me cracking up, too. She's so tiny that when the cop was trying to stuff her in the car or Carlos was trying to get her out of his car, it looked ridiculous and I laughed out loud at both scenes.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

So tonight's ep started with a montage of people utilizing the art of sabatoge. And I think Major Victory from Who Wants to be a Superhero had a cameo as a husband who's cable was cut before the big game.

[CrazyTrain]

Ugh, did much happen this week? I stupidly taped over it w/hEroes. Is it worth reading the recap? Ugh. I think I need to start a one tape per show rule. Or get TiVo :lol:

It was a good episode. And the recap is well worth it... one of the best I've read in a long time. But you can always catch it on abc.com if you want.

yeah. I keep forgetting that you can watch shows online now. Il'l try that - see if my computer lets it!! :D Thanks!!

[ryan07]

HOLY FUCK! Did anyone see Desperate Housewives? WOW! I almost cried. Felicity Huffman is the shit and Laurie Metcalf is incredible.

[jampony]

Yeah, I almost cried, too! I thought I was just being a wuss. It was a really good episode. They way they showed how the characters crossed paths at the grocery store was fun. Although, I did think the ending was a little dumb. Lynette was having dreams about feeling responsible for Mary Alice's death. She kinda was responsible for getting Nora shot. So, by killing your arch nemesis, you assuage your feelings of guilt over the first death? I don't get it. Shouldn't she be feeling doubly bad right now?

[chick110]

From the previews, I really thought that Lynette was the one that got shot. I didn't get a clue that Nora would be the one to go. At least she was nicer to Lynette at the end. Thought it was funny that Susan stole that megaphone and tried to talk crazy woman into switching Susan with her daughter.

Missed the beginning, thanks to TAR running over. What WAS going on with Laurie Metcalf's husband and Edie in the office? Thanks to Edie opening her mouth, LM went even more nutso...

[Karo]

Loved the show last night, and I got a little teary-eyed. I thought it was just me being a baby again so it's good to know you all are babies, too.

I thought it was weird that Susan wasn't more upset. Did anyone else think she seemed awfully calm? If it were my daughter in there, I'd be freaking out.

I'm not really sorry to see The Babe go, but now we'll have the daughter move in with Lynette and Tom and I think I just don't care about that story line.

[Pinky]

She kinda was responsible for getting Nora shot. So, by killing your arch nemesis, you assuage your feelings of guilt over the first death? I don't get it. Shouldn't she be feeling doubly bad right now?

I didn't think she was responsible at all for getting Nora shot.
The message of the dream sequence was that you can't prevent what you can't predict. It addressed why she shouldn't feel bad for either death.

[chick110]

Who was the actress that played Orson's mom? She looked so familiar but with all that botoxy stuff, she could have been anyone old and who would know?

CREEPY about the new guy on the block. Those pics were just too awful. And all of those toys--OMG, who WOULDN'T want to hang out there? :(

It was sad/funny about Gaby having to model as a mom. I'm sure she could have gotten some catalog modelling--a lot of models that were hot when they were younger started doing catalogs once the young started wearing off...

Tired of Susan's storyline. Hate Edie's step-son, hate him liking Julie, hate Susan's ex taking everyone's side but Susan. Hate Mike for being so bland--I miss MIKE. Gag, he's like white bread now. I miss the mystery and sneakiness around him. :(

[tati]

chick110, i thot that actress looked really familiar but I couldn't remember who she was so I looked her up & the name still isn't familiar: Dixie Carter? I looked it up on IMDB and the only movie/TV show i recognized was Designing Women, she played Julia Sugarbaker. Wonder what she did to make Orson hate her so???

I never saw that twist w/the new neighbor coming, ewww, disturbing! I actually felt a li'l bad for Lynette's devil spawn in this episode. And no way would they ever make Gabriel a 'mom' in some photo spread---a catalog or other like you said is more likely.

[jampony]

I thought this episode was going great (love the Orson/mom secret thing) until the end when Lynette didn't call the cops on her pedophiliac neighbor. What mother in her right mind would not have called the police after seeing his basement with all the toys and the pictures?!? Or at least immediately gone to the sex offenders registry to look the sicko up and warn every parent in the neighborhood. I'm nervous about where this story line is going, what with Lynette convincing Parker to trust Protector Man and Parker already having been in the neato keen basement and probably wanting to go back again. Maybe even bringing a friend along? I don't even want to think about it.

PS: You all make me feel old... I recognized Dixie Carter immediately. I even remember her from Diff'rent Strokes!

[Ness]

I am with you Jampony, I would have ran Straight to the police after I got out that house. Hell I wouldn't leave the area until the guy was out of the neighborhood.

I am already over that Julie and Edie jr. story, that whole thing with Carl doing the bad cop thing was too ridiculous. I didn't find it funny at all, just stupid.

[chick110]

I used to watch Designing Women and I still didn't recognize Dixie Carter. :confused:

I'm guessing Lynette didn't want to get charged with trespassing or something because legally, she shouldn't have been in his house. If it were me, I'd risk going to jail if it meant that creep would be around my kids. :mad:

[chick110]

Well, well, well. Just when I'm ready to turn this bland, predictable show off, Mike goes out and buries his toolbox. If he doesn't have any memory, why would he be burying that?

Thought it was funny when Carlos and (whatever the hell Doug Savant's character's name is) were over at Mike's watching TV. But it was sad when he realized that Carlos wasn't actually his best friend.

[Clair]

I thought it was cool that the writers used the word "snarky" twice in last night's episode. Don't they now owe TVGasm royalties or something?

[animalcrackers]

did anyone else watch last night? i told myself that i wasnt going to watch it this season and then i tuned in anyways - there just isnt anything else on that i want to watch at 8 on sundays...

i thought the whole bree storyline was dumb dumb dumb. i dont know how they are going to make susan look pregnant cause she is so stick thin. i'm intrigued by the new neighbors but at the same time i dont really care. the carlos & gabi storyline could be complicated. maybe i'll continue to watch just so i can bitch about how much i dont like it. anyone want to disagree with me??

[Fire@Will]

Okay - I'll risk ridicule by admitting I watched it. I didn't think it was too bad. Nothing earth shatteringly good, either. I think the writers gave us too many clues about the new family... but not enough to care, yet. (At least the daughter is nice to look at.) Thought Bree and the magic fork was a bit slapstick and out of character. Overall, I'd rate it a B- and lower it two places on my DVR series recording list.

[bevo]

I have never watched this show and only watched on Sunday because of Captain Tightpants. Really I just fast forwarded through the parts he wasn't in. Who needs to know the plot? :)

[jampony]

I'm still liking it enough to watch every week. Plus, the people at work watch it so it's nice to have at least one show to talk to people about it.

PS: Bev... are we going to have to figure out some sort of rotating schedule for sharing Nathan? If not, I might have to take you out back and rough you up a little.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Speaking of the new guy, what do you think about this new family? They have that mysterious isssue with the attic. It's almost too familiar to the mysterious basement situation Alfre Woodard had.

I agree with Julie - I don't think that girl is the same girl she was the last time they lived on Wisteria Lane. And New Red might have a fight on her hands if she tries to cut down Bree's pine tree.

[jampony]

I agree, I think Dylan isn't their real daughter. But is Adam her father (or the father of the missing Dylan)? Because I thought it was weird when Katherine was upstairs by the attic and Adam asked "is this the room?" If he had lived there before, wouldn't he have known?

[Katmandu]

I predict incest and dylan killed her father and that's why they left quickly.

[Firecat]

I don't watch this show, but apparently a joke has angered the entire Phillipines.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071004/ap_on_en_tv/tv_desperate_housewives

I hope they don't take this to the extreme and stop taking our calls.

LMAO even if that is very un-pc.....wait a minute thats why its so funny:) I love when they use "american" names and try to pretend that you have reached them and they are in kansas or something

[Cherie]

I predict incest and dylan killed her father and that's why they left quickly.
I agree with the incest part but I think the Mom did the killing.

Side note-anyone ever watch One Life To Live? The actor who played David-Tuc Watkins-is coming on the show as a gay guy. I loved him on OLTL and I always thought he was being wasted on that show. He is very funny and not bad to look at either. The article didn't say when he debuts.

[lloyd Dobbler]

I am really liking that bree has competition for perfect cook/baker/ocd sufferer etc in the neighborhood

[roadtripper8]

Way too familiar, indeed! You would think they could come up with a more original way to integrate new characters in to the show.

[lloyd Dobbler]

Yes and every new family has a deep dark secret! meh

[roadtripper8]

Yes and every new family has a deep dark secret! meh

They have the new gay couple moving in next week. I hope they don't have some lame deep, dark secret.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

If they do - I hope they keep it in the garage, and no one's allowed to go in there. *gasp* What if Susan needs a wrench!?!?

[lloyd Dobbler]

If they do - I hope they keep it in the garage, and no one's allowed to go in there. *gasp* What if Susan needs a wrench!?!?

Or what if one of the new gay guys starts a love triangle with one of the men on the show.........like.......Edie?

[roadtripper8]

If they do - I hope they keep it in the garage, and no one's allowed to go in there. *gasp* What if Susan needs a wrench!?!?

On second thought, the writers probably won't give the gay couple any plot what so ever. They are probably just there for comic foil like every other gay character on TV.

sorry... let me climb off my soapbox. This show isn't serious enough for me to get all socio-political. :blushing:

[roadtripper8]

Or what if one of the new gay guys starts a love triangle with one of the men on the show.........like.......Edie?

LOL! Still on fire, I see. Well... it would definately help Carlos out!

[lloyd Dobbler]

LOL! Still on fire, I see. Well... it would definately help Carlos out!

Thanks! But in all honesty i just read the recap, and IT.WAS.AWESOME. I did see the preview for next week and one of the gay guys said something in response to bree i think, "well we will try to live up to all your stereotypes"

it was funny!

I laughed at that in the previews too!

FozzieBare wrote a killer recap this week. Just a friendly warning though: don't eat or drink anything while reading it. I almost ended up in the hospital.

You are probably right about the comic releif. Tuc Watkins is hilarious so they will probably write them as the funny, normal couple on the block. Somebody's got to be halfway normal on that street don't they?
I don't know the other guy, but I hope they don't waste Tuc's skills with no storyline.

I have to confess ignorance on who Tuc Watkins is. I just looked him up... and, of course, I will rely on your good recommendation, Cheries!

[Cherie]

Oh no! What if he's not funny? I can't take this pressure! AAAHHHHH!

Seriously Tuc Watkins was very funny on the soap so I'm pretty sure he will be here. Can you tell I love him?

[roadtripper8]

Oh no! What if he's not funny? I can't take this pressure! AAAHHHHH!


Then I will spend the rest of my Sunday night drowning myself in wine, all the while cursing Cherie. "Why... WHY?!?!?!...she told me he was so funny!!"

[Cherie]

More pressure! AAAAAHHHHHHH! (and faints)

[animalcrackers]

did any watch last night? i actually laughed out loud several times last night!

i love the new gay neighbors! mainly because they hate susan... the whole introduction scene was great. and when Gabi decided to give victor a rub down with the de-crabbing cream- ha!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Yeah that Gabi - always great at making the best of a bad situation. I really enjoy her character. She and Carlos crack me up.

As for the new neighbors - I would probably have enjoyed them more without the whole "Wacky Susan" bit. I'm so completley over Susan.

I also could have done without Rex's Mom being back on the show. I love the actress but not in this particular role.

How did you like when Edie put two and two together with the crab cakes?

i am over susan as well. i wish they would stop with all the slapstick! i am also over Bree and her fake pregnancy.... boring. i think i really only like Bree when she is blackmailing someone.... or when she let the pharmacist guy die while she sat there.... she is just too fake a character for me.

i loved that they served them the crab cakes. too funny! The clap? the herp? the siph? (who the hell calls it the herp btw?)

i think i might have fallen asleep at the very end... did anything happen with the aunt or did she just take the bell and leave? i swore she was going to kill the aunt. My husband was in the room for that part when the aunt said she regretted what they did and his words were "ooo bye bye grandma!" LOL and he doesnt even watch the show!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

She took the bell and left. The aunt tried to call Dylan, but Dylan was practicing her base and couldn't hear. The aunt looked at the side table and saw a pen and paper. She struggled over to it and wrote a note and folded it up and croacked. When she died the note fell out of her hand and onto the floor near the bed.

Cut to the closing montage and you see the aunt being zipped in her body bag and taken out of the room. The note is on the floor unnoticed.

Linette and Tom agreed that for one night it would be enough just to fool around as Tom and Linette rather than as Cancer Girl and Hero Hubs.

The Grandma had gone to the convent to spring Daniele.

I think that's it.

[roadtripper8]

Oh no! What if he's not funny? I can't take this pressure! AAAHHHHH!

Seriously Tuc Watkins was very funny on the soap so I'm pretty sure he will be here. Can you tell I love him?

You can rest easy, dear Cherie. I thought he was funny as hell. Of course, any one who hates Susan that much is cool in my book!

[Cherie]

You can rest easy, dear Cherie. I thought he was funny as hell. Of course, any one who hates Susan that much is cool in my book!
Yeah, that whole predictable stupid Susan crap is just that. Predictable crap. Hopefully the guys will be a bigger part of the show. I loved them! But you already know that.
Now I can breathe.:D

[Katmandu]

I loved this episode. The gay couple were hilarious and I am still not over Susan. She is over the top but I can relate to her. I don't know what that says about me???

[lloyd Dobbler]

Yeah, that whole predictable stupid Susan crap is just that. Predictable crap. Hopefully the guys will be a bigger part of the show. I loved them! But you already know that.

Thank god someone who cant stand susan, like us on the other side of the screen. She is so annoying/dessicated/thin/slapstick i pretty much fast forward everytime i see her on screen except this time cause of the new gay guys, and i love them! I also loved how mike let her have it!

[Cherie]

I mean really if you are going to try to pull off something like that with the dog you need to commit. I'd have been screaming "How the hell did your dog get into my garage?" And I would have answered my own question with "Mike you must have shut him in there when you left. Be more careful next time." And then I would have stomped off like the injured party. She just stood there looking stupid.
PS.
I have 4 brothers and sisters. I've had a lot of practice deflecting blame.

Ummmm not to disagree with you , but susan doesnt LOOK stupid, she just IS stupid. As soon as she took the dog from julie i knew what was going to happen it was so transparent. Can you imagine her with a baby?

[roadtripper8]

Can you imagine her with a baby?

Uuuggghhh... I just flashed forward to next season where viewers will be treated to 50 different versions of "where did Susan leave the baby?" complete with Mike and/or Julie giving Susan exasperated looks. I am not sure if I can take all of that.:surrender:

[jampony]

I don't think she'll have a baby. Either they'll have her miscarry because of her age or she'll find out she's really in menopause and the doctor was wrong. A baby is a death sentence for any show. Oh, and I think Bree's daughter will keep the baby and live with her grandmother.

[Katmandu]

I think the grandma will lock up Bree's daughter and then pretend that she is raising her grandbaby.

I was just laughing reading all your comments about Susan. She kills me. I love her scenes. I loved I Love Lucy or Three's Company. They were totally predictable but still hilarious.

[lloyd Dobbler]

Yeah i am sure usan wont be having the baby one way or the other.

[jampony]

Yeah i am sure usan wont be having the baby one way or the other.

Bad typing or incredibly accurate nickname? She looks like she's oozin' something.

I'm not sure if the time frame fits but wasn't Bree's daughter having sex with the black guy too. I can't remember anybodys name right now. If the baby she's carrying turns out to be black, how would Bree explain that!? That would be funny!!!:scared:

Thank you! And what is she oozin? BOTOX

[Cherie]

Thank you! And what is she oozin? BOTOX
well then she needs to plug that leak. It ain't working. That and eat something for the love of hamburgers. That woman is too skinny!

[roadtripper8]

LOVED the Halloween episode! Danielle's Bree costume even made up for Lynette's possum/cancer story or lame Susan meets Mike's dad in prison story.

Can't wait to see what Mr. Mayor will do now that he knows of Gabby and Carlos. Well-played, Edie (you fiesty little tranny), well-played.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I found it odd that the what'shername (the new redhead) and her frankenhubby would go to the halloween party after last week's fountain fight.

I agree that the Lanette/possum storyline was really stupid, and was pretty much a re-write of last week's treehouse story.

Shocked that Gaby turned down Carlos and his $10 mil. Not surprised at Edie though. I get the feeling that the Mayor is more angry with Gaby than with Carlos.

[roadtripper8]

I found it odd that the what'shername (the new redhead) and her frankenhubby would go to the halloween party after last week's fountain fight.


That was odd. Maybe they were just trying to save face... I dunno. But any scene that gives me more Nathan Fillion gets no complaints from me! :wub:

[roadtripper8]

So Mike is a junky now?!? Although I can't blame him. I would have to swallow handfuls of pills just to get me through a day with Susan.

[jampony]

How can it be that nobody is talking about last night's episode? Is everyone over this show? Am I the only one still watching???

Well, I'll just talk to myself, then. No biggie. Wow, self, wasn't last night's episode great? I wonder who the two dead husbands are. Obviously the mayor, but is the second one Carlos or Tom? And what happened to Lynette's family? Is the whole basement gone? Oh and while I'm on the subject, Lynette, I hate you. You are the most selfish woman on the face of the earth and I sort of hope your husband is one of the dead ones. You don't deserve him.

I was surprised that they didn't have Susan lose the baby from that fall down the stairs. And that Mike so easily agreed to rehab. And that the crazy stalker of my boyfriend, Nathan Fillion, just FLEW out the door like that! That was cool!

So that was the season finale, right? It's only December and the show's over for the year. Sad.

[roadtripper8]

Don't worry, jamp... I am still watching too!

Count me in to the "I hate Lynette's selfishness camp" too. Shoving her rowdy family uninvited in to the nice old ladies' card game... that is a heinous enough of a crime. But sneaking an old drunk woman's cat upstairs in the middle of a tornado... that is too much! Well, at least karma landed her a big old kick in the pants by laying her house flat. Lesson learned: never f*ck with old womens' cats!

All this talk about the tattoo with no evidence... I demand a shirtless Nathan Fillion! Can't this show take a lesson from Heroes and strip down there sexy male leads?

[jampony]

All this talk about the tattoo with no evidence... I demand a shirtless Nathan Fillion! Can't this show take a lesson from Heroes and strip down there sexy male leads?
Seriously! Maybe we should start a campaign of some sort. But wait... besides our adorable Nathan, who else do you want to see shirtless? I'm not really all that excited about any of the other guys on this show. Except maybe for the two gay men who just moved in. They looked kind of fit.

So back to the show... you think it was Lynette's house that was flattened? I thought it was the old lady's house and that's why she was screaming like that; because her kids and Tom were still in it. When they saw the twister, it looked like they ran into Lynette's house. Damn those writers for always moving people's houses around; we won't know whose house is toast until next season.

[roadtripper8]

Hmmmm.... you know... I think you are right! (And your theory makes a lot more sense of why Lynette was so upset) By the end up the show, I was on my third whiskey and tea (aka Roadtripper8's Super Cold Remedy) so things were a bit fuzzy.

Re: the shirtless husbands of Wisteria Lane. I guess shirtless Mike would do in a pinch too. Might make his character more interesting!

[Cherie]

Okay I stayed away from this thread until I could watch the show.
I laughed my ass off when Mrs. McClusky told Lynette to put her kid upstairs in the closet since it "was safe". Then wanted to smack Lynette when she told Penny to "knock yourself out" or "have a ball" about beating crap with a spoon.
The nerve of that hideous woman insisting that she remove the cat because her weak whiney puss of a hubby has allergies! AND THEN.........to let said cat out INTO the storm?????? HATE.HATE.HATE.
They said at the start that one would lose a husband and they all would lose a friend. I'm pretty sure that Victor is DEAD. I think maybe the friend will be Ida the alcoholic cat lady.
I didn't realize this is the last show!! I am bummed and pissed and kinda sad...........

Good news! I was wrong -- there's one more episode left. The bad news is that in today's Ask Ausiello, he says he thinks ABC will hold on to it as long as they can. But at least we know there's a conclusion out there somewhere!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I finally watched this episode last night and I have to laugh - how many of you who live in Tornado Alley have time to run outside and tape your windows? If you knew a tornado was coming - wouldn't you just pack the kids in the car and high tail it out of there?

I love that those California writers confused Hurricane protocal with twister protocal.

And speaking of the new gay neighbors - where were they during the twister? Or all the teens - we had no sign of Susan, Bree or the new neighbor's teen kids.

As for who I think is dead - I think you are right with it being the Mayor and Ida. We pretty much saw everyone else didn't we?

[Cherie]

I think Susan and the new neighbor ladys(cannot remember her name) daughter were on a school trip and Andrew moved somewhere. I was wondering where the gay guys were as well.
The "special effects" were a little much I thought. And I've been thru a few tornados and once a warning is issued you don't usually have time to do much more than duck and cover! I've never once taped my windows! lol

[jampony]

Reminder... tonight's a new (and the last) episode!

[Cherie]

Thanks Jamp. I totally forgot about this show. TAR is always running late and so I didn't even have my DemonVR set for DH. What to do?

[roadtripper8]

Dammit! I didn't realize it was last night. Guess I have to go to ABC's website to watch and be forced to sit through their crappy commercials. Grrrrrr... I hate commercials!

[animalcrackers]

i didnt remember it was the last one either... i guess i'll be watching it with roadtripper!

[jampony]

I hate how the writers make some of the characters so over the top that they become unlikable. Gabby last night was awful, especially in the garage when she got caught. Some campy-ness is fun, but sometimes Gabby and Susan just wind up looking stupid.

[gasmilicous]

Julianne Moore is scheduled to appear in 3 episodes, including the season finale!! She will play Bree's sister (naturally).

[jampony]

Boo! According to Ausiello (http://community.tvguide.com/blog/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/700000049), that's not true. :(

[gasmilicous]

Dang. Oh well, I like Julianne Moore.

[jampony]

Dang. Oh well, I like Julianne Moore.

Me, too! That would have been perfect casting.

[roadtripper8]

Anyone know when Desperate Housewives is set to return?

[Clair]

This Sunday! (4/13/08)

[roadtripper8]

Yeah!!! Something to fill the void on Sunday nights. Crock of Love just hasn't been doing it for me this year.

[gasmilicous]

YES! I can't wait!! I don't even remember what happened last actually. Was the last episode the aftermath of the tornado?

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Yup - Carlos was blind, Lynette ran and throw the dead old ladie's ashes since her family was mean and didn't care. Um, think that's all I remember.

[gasmilicous]

From PerezHilton:

Nicolette Sheridan may finally be saying adios to Desperate Housewives at the end of the season.

At least that's what show creator Marc Cherry is leading us to believe!

Judge for yourself.

Cherry said the following about Nicolette's DH character, Edie, in a recent interview:

"Edie is going to cross a huge moral boundary that she's never crossed before on the show and it will have devastating consequences for her and lead to a shocking conclusion to her time on Wisteria Lane." Conclusion? What happens? "That's all I'm going to say."

[Clair]

When did this show get so BORING?

I may have to remove it from my Tivo.

[Cherie]

I started to disagree out of habit of defending this show, then remembered I can't remember what the hell happened on last nights show. Seriously what the hell did happen to this show? Oh yeah, Mikes still in rehab, zzzzzzzzz. Bree still has a stick up her ass and Lynette gave her a lesson about something zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Damn. Somebody better do something quick or I'll be taking it off my list as well.

[jampony]

Also, Edie was a bitch, Gabrielle was selfish and Lynette somehow managed to make herself the martyr again (Bree: Why didn't you tell me? Lynette: Why didn't you ask?).

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I agree - I found myself walking out of the room without pausing - and that's never a good sign.

[gasmilicous]

New episode...boring.

[roadtripper8]

It looks like Tom might be going down in a fiery blast of jealousy flames. I can't believe that he is still holding a grudge even though Lynette didn't do anything.

When Gabby got in to the fight with the wheelchair bound guy and said "Now I am going to hell"... uh... beating the nun's ass in the 2nd season didn't qualify you for that?

Having said all that... this season is off to a sloooowwww start.

[Clair]

So I was watching Minority Report last night on TBS and what the furk? Beige is in it!! He was a lot thinner but still acts the same - no upper extremity movement whatsoever.

[Clair]

So I was watching "88 Minutes" tonight and what the furk? Beige is in it!

I can't get away from this guy.

[Hypnotoad]

Wow, the last post was in February. Is anyone still caring enough about this show to post in here any more? I'm going to try to do a bit more here. Since I have no life. Like, AT ALL.

So, to get things rolling again, this season, for me, is FAR superior than season 5. For many reasons. 1.) That lame time-jump thing is behind us, and I can just pretend it never happened (except for the death of Edie). 2.) Unlike last year, when we all solved the mystery by episode 2, I honestly have no idea who strangled Julie. I have theories, but there hasn't really been any evidence, which I'm a big fan of - I like to keep guessing. 3.) I'm really, really digging Susan this year. Normally, she's about my least favorite, but she's had some of the best lines this season, and she doesn't seem crazy at all . . . thanks to Katherine. Which leads me to --

What I hate about this season. Namely, the writers have made Katherine extremely dislikeable. I'll admit that I was on board with the first couple eps, but I think Katherine crossed the line between cute-crazy and just plain certifiably insane when she keyed Bree's car in front of her. Well, possibly before that. They need to reign Katherine in and pronto. I'm also curious as to what happened with Ana? Did they just drop her? We're going on 3 episodes without her. Did I miss an explanation? And I'm getting a tad tired of Lynette, although last week she wasn't as bad as she'd been previously. The Bree/Karl thing just keeps going on and on, and I think what needs to happen is that someone needs to find out already! I think that'll happen this Sunday.

Also, (And there are SPOILERS AHEAD, so tread carefully!)

We're headed into sweeps. And it seems Cherry has confirmed that this year's disaster ep is going to be a massive plane wreck that destroys Wisteria Lane. He's said that he won't be killing off main characters (thank god, because a year after killing off Edie would be too much), but he will be killing off a "fan favorite." I know that Orson probably doesn't count as a "fan fave," but I'm hoping it's him. I think Kyle McLachlan is a great actor, but Cherry's giving him absolutely nothing to do, so this would be a good time for him to go. I hope it's not McCluskey, and it wouldn't be cool to kill her off while Kathryn Joosten is going through cancer, but Cherry has said in the past that he wouldn't kill her off.

Wow, I wrote a lot. Thoughts, questions, rants?

[Hypnotoad]

Also, if you were a fan and left the show during season 5 (or 4), I suggest coming back. It's beginning to improve. It's still not as great as seasons 1 or 3 (or 4 - I loved season 4), but it's getting back on track.

[Mila Superstar]

uh, katherine is back! since she's back from crazy, susan seemed to gave back the funny, i guess..
and how nice, she developes a crush!
i hope this plot continues and is not for one episode.

yay! (don't mind the age gap :>)

[Clair]

So I was watching Timeline last night and what the furk? Beige is in THIS movie too! Only he wasn't beige!! He was Auburn.
