Desperate Housewives

Now this is the guilty pleasure of the TV world. This is the nighttime soap opera. This is the one show that you can't seem to turn away from. It has so many juicy secrets and it seems that women and men eat it up. Yes, I said men! Would you believe that more men have written about this show then women? It is not what you think either. You would think that they are talking about the girls but they want to know what is going on as much as the women.

So what do think about how they started the season? Many viewers were not happy that they went in fast forward for three years and many were not happy with the changes that were made to the characters. They did eventually put it back together a bit. Eva Longoria Parkers (Gabrielle Solis) character was the one that many complained about. They took this gorgeous and well-dressed women then made her this chubby bunny. That is one of the many comments about her character.

Also, the plot line seemed to some to be a bit dull when it first started back up this season, but it looks as though they got it back. The plot thickened when Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) came back with her new and crazy husband (Neil McDonough) better known to us all as Dave Williams. Other characters on the show did not get such a warm welcome back though. Some were very unhappy with what they had done to Carlos Solis as well as Kyle MacLachlan or Orson that is. Many felt that making him a kleptomaniac was not the best way to go, so what do you think?

Do you think that Desperate Housewives is getting desperate for new plots? Or do you think that they are still on the right road?

What do think it is that keeps people watching? Is it the gorgeous women and the hot men? Or perhaps it is the plot and idea that we all are sure is true and that is that you never really know what is going on behind closed doors, right?

What is it that makes these families so intriguing to viewers? Is it the comfort that all families are crazy? Perhaps it is that no such thing as normal exists, perhaps it makes our lives seem a bit more "Normal". Although I will say that some of the performances are for me a bit much, it does make me feel better as a mother.
