L.A. Kief · 11-03-2004, 07:27 AM

yeah, there was a baby.

maleficent · 11-03-2004, 07:31 AM

the baby (girl I think) was still on this past show -- the episode before there were three boys - they seemed to have lost one on last weeks show...

abel · 11-08-2004, 05:52 AM

every week the writer do a great job of leaving you hooked until the next episode... last night was no exception.

inharmony · 11-08-2004, 06:12 AM

Last nights episode was great. I'm with you abel, can't wait for next week.

Rodney · 11-08-2004, 06:18 AM

I started watching this past weekend -- they replayed an episode Saturday night, and I watched again Sunday. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would, probably because it is genuinely funny from time to time in an insightful way.

I laughed out loud at the Mom who gets her hyperactive kids' attention by holding up a bag of potato chips, then throws it up the stairs to get them out of the room. I know kids like that! That Mom is my favorite character or, at least, gets the best lines:

"And next spring, when the children do Bambi? Bambi's mom gets a slug in the heart!"

abel · 11-08-2004, 06:43 AM

YEA thats one mom you dont want to screw with...

i thought it was funny when gabby dropped off the mother in law at the casino after she knew that she had a gambling problem... hahaa!

inharmony · 11-08-2004, 06:51 AM

Yeah, Lynette is my fav char so far on that show. She's hilarious. And Gabriel is going down (pardon the pun) Next week should be interesting.

boom29 · 11-09-2004, 01:46 AM

I'm definately interested to see how Gabrielle is going down. I doubt she would leave the neighborhood (she is one of the main characters after all). Maybe she loses all her spending money priviliges, or maybe the mother-in-law will blackmail her. Who knows, its unfortunate that the episode is in two weeks.

jvwgtr · 11-09-2004, 12:17 PM

I still can't decide if I like this show or not...but there's nothing else on, and it's in HiDef, so I'll probably keep watching it for a while.

Arwen · 11-09-2004, 03:16 PM

I'm so addicted to that show it's not funny. I hope Gabrielle and John (it's John right?) don't get caught!!! I love them and he's so hot and the mother-in-law is a bitch! She threatened to kill Gabrielle with knitting needles!! Am I getting ENTIRELY too into this show?

Grancey · 11-11-2004, 04:30 PM

I posted this on the "Lost" thread as well, but for those of you who may not read that thread........
For viewers of "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives", did you notice the uncanny correlation of Sawyer's letter to the letter received by Mary Alice? ABC's two hit shows of the season.......................

inharmony · 11-22-2004, 04:57 AM

Getting interesting to say the least. Last nights show subtle hints of what's to come....darker secrets to arise?

abel · 11-22-2004, 07:37 AM

very cool...

we didnt get to watch it last night since im here in houston and our Houston Texans football game was in primetime and broadcasted on ABC. i think DH finally came on at like midnight so we were already asleep by then...

i did set my vcr though so we should be able to watch it tonight...

onodrim · 11-22-2004, 09:18 AM

Last night's episode was great. The plot twists are really getting exciting, I wonder where they're gonna go with it all.

Sensei · 11-24-2004, 12:55 AM

Yep, really loving the show and Sunday's episode was no exception. Not sure how they could possibly keep up the quality after a few seasons (Mary Alice's mystery will be solved, Mike will drop/solve his case, etc) but enjoying it while I can.

Good point...I for one hope they keep up the great writing

mattgical · 11-25-2004, 05:36 PM

ATTENTION!!

This sundays episode will reveal who sent the note to Mary Alice, also, someone will be killed, but that doesn't mean its one of the 5 characters.

Could be Mrs. Huber, maybe Gabrielle's mother in law. Who knows!!!!!

StormBerlin · 11-28-2004, 11:24 PM

Wow, awesome episode tonight... I don't want to say who sent the letter to mary alice and was eventually killed... but I was not surprised in the least.

quadro2000 · 11-29-2004, 07:50 AM

I wasn't too surprised either. It would have been a stupid move to Spoiler: kill off Edie, as she's not only a major character, but also a big draw for people watching the show.

The problem I'm having with the show is that although I know it's supposed to be more of a prime-time soap opera, it plays extremely realistic - which makes me cringe when they have Teri Hatcher's character do ridiculous things, like actually counting all the money and then getting stuck in the floor. Just seems ludicrous to me, and those are the moments where I mentally tune out.

Felicity Huffman, however, is amazing. I'm so happy that she's in this show.

LIMilf · 12-02-2004, 04:16 AM

My girlfriend has gotten me addicted to this show. I like it alot. Teri Hatcher is back, and that Gabrielle, I almost lose it everytime she is on screen. Shes the hottest thing on TV right now. I like all the plot twists, and now it the number one show overall.

Daval · 12-08-2004, 11:05 AM

I set this to record on Tivo about a month ago but never got around to watching an episode, last night I finally sat down and watched the first (not THE first, but first one I had recorded halfway through this season) and liked it a lot. I then watched the other 3 episodes I had recorded.

Great show, I think the casting is good, lots of mystery and laughs.

I look forward to enjoying the show in the future!

abel · 12-08-2004, 11:07 AM

funny u mentioned that... i had the last 3 episodes tivo'd as well... just finished them sunday evening, tried to finish them before this weeks show started and then i found out it wasnt aired.. wont be back til this coming sunday... hehe

inharmony · 12-08-2004, 11:19 AM

Yeah I was all set to watch this past Sunday, not to be

Next weeks should be good...

Cyber Phunk · 12-12-2004, 10:31 PM

'k, was it just me or did Spoiler: the ADULT female body in the chest come as a suprise?

This show keeps getting more interesting.

And Two weeks of new shows in a row! Yay!

abel · 12-13-2004, 05:18 AM

getting very good now... i think its a very good series...

lots of unanswered questionswhich keep me tuning in...

maleficent · 12-13-2004, 06:20 AM

The foreign press seems to appreciate the show too.

Terri Hatcher, Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman have all been nominated for best actress Golden Globes
Nicolette Sheriden for best supporting actress
and the show got a nomination for best show.

godxzilla · 12-13-2004, 09:37 AM

Cyber - I agree that was very surprising!

Spektr · 12-13-2004, 11:20 AM

This show is the crack of syndicated television. I can't stop watching it, and after every episode, I'm fiending to find out what happens next. I inadvertantly became a junkie...

godxzilla · 12-13-2004, 11:22 AM

I agree with that spektr. I was watching it with my wife to appease her but am completely hooked and dont want to wait until next week. it seems to fly by! 1 hour is not enough.

StormBerlin · 12-15-2004, 06:55 AM

Totally, one hour is not enough... I am hooked on this show. I am trying to get the boyfriend to watch one episode with me (cuz then he'll be hooked too *evil grin) but he wont budge.

inharmony · 01-10-2005, 06:06 AM

Last nights episode was great. The scene of Gabrielle showcasing the Buick was funny. Working didn't seem to appeal to her

I really thought she had destroyed his passport. Good thing she thought better of it. Susan FINALLY realizes her feelings for Mike and her lack of feelings for her worthless ex. Ok, but I need someone to remind me who the 'new' neighbors were. Where he hid the jewelry...

abel · 01-10-2005, 06:12 AM

ive been missing the show for a couple of weeks now since it hasnt been on... they cant be doing that to me because i look forward to it week in and week out.. hehe

great show.

Mike's house. The mailbox said "Delfino" so that was Mike's garage. He's been the most recent addition to the street, and the cops were in his house talking to him when Susan kissed him.

Moskie · 04-20-2005, 07:23 PM

Anyone still watching the show?

I just got around to watching this past week's episode, and I thought it was great. I love how the storyline with Brie and her family is turning out. That boy of theirs sure is turning out to be a chip off the ole block, there... he might even be more twisted than Brie herself, which is saying a lot.

I'm not sure how I feel about what they've done with the "Dana" part of the storyline, though. Am I the only one that feels like the writers are trying to backtrack over some things they hinted at before but don't want to deal with anymore? For instance, wasn't there a specific mention of Zack having a little sister? I'm pretty sure we were lead to believe in no uncertain terms that Dana was his sister, something bad happened where she died, and they buried her in the toy chest. I liked where they could have gone with that, but it seems like they're trying to rework that whole idea.

Grancey · 04-20-2005, 07:53 PM

I love this show. I absolutely love it. Everything about this show is right on target.....the writing, the pace, the casting, and even the always leaves us hanging and wondering storyline. I can't get enough of it.

Moskie · 10-03-2005, 06:32 PM

Thought I'd bring this back. There's gotta be some of us still watching this, right?

I love the new season so far. Bree kicks ass. Gabrielle and Carlos are hilarious. Lynette and Tom are a riot. The rest haven't really been given a chance to shine, but their day will come.

Any thoughts on Betty and her basement secret? When we first saw the guy chained, I was really scared that the show had totally jumped the shark... but I'll hold off judgement until we know a bit more.
