Desperate Housewives is Knots Landing with less clothes and a much older Nicolette Sheridan.
The show is dispicable!
I watched last night's episode in which a 16 year old kid ran over a woman with his parents car and was upset because he might get into trouble. He was further scripted to say that the woman, who was a grandmother type, had "lived her useful life" and so what that he ran her over.
The show is phsycopathic, sick and twisted! As are those who wrote it and those who aired it!
It's the best show on TV, why would you boycott it?
No. I like the show. It's not porn. You don't like it, change the channel. Call K-mart, etc. all you want. My Pepsi & YUM! brands stocks don't seem to be suffering very heavily, though.
Target supports Deparate (for ratings) Housewives?
I was in Target last night and they cannot tolerate the Salvation Army but the employees were bloasting rap music in the store in t he stero/TV department.
I plan on avoiding the store particularly when one of the heirs is Mark Dayton a Democart Senator.
Target is part of Dayton-Hudson.
And in my opinion, watching an episode of Desperate Housewives will not instantly turn the viewer into a pervert or a raging sex maniac. But the show's writing is obtuse and poorly rendered, it deals with subject matter best left to an "anything goes" cable channel like Showtime, and I just can't get past the cheesy title. I'm not a fan.
What do you expect? Veggie tales & Barney probably would not sell well at 9 pm on sunday night.
Not only is it a cool show, last night I stayed on ABC and discovered Boston Legal. Another really well written and funny show.
If I had ever watched this show I would quit watching it right now.
I really enjoy the show. It reminds me of the old soaps Dallas or Knots Landing.
I don't normally post photos like this . . . then I noticed your moniker and tagline. Hell, I'd go to Hollyweird and round them all up and have them meet you at the airport if I could. You and the others like you are why we're the greatest country the world has ever known.
Enjoy the photo, Mike. Be safe.
Ooops. My 22 yr old daughter and I enjoy watching it. Some folks might not get the dark humor or satire, though. Do people actually think this is a drama portraying a slice of normal American life?
=== Not only is the show gravely immoral, but looks quite cheesy as well...
"Cheesy"?
Well no wonder the consensus at FR thus far is that advertisers are "stoopid" not to make a few bucks on this vehicle.
Nothing like settling in for a little Scenery with wifey and her Stories once all the "Moral Issues are Paramount" Conservative Churchgoing Voter crap's out of the way.
Sunday night dreams -- one shares with the rest of the Boob Tube Nation -- just are sweeter that way.
Oh, and remember...
"Chile peppers...they, uh...burn my gut."

actually none of them 'have sex with the neighbor's husband(s)'
This FR witch hunt is humorous. The show is great. I've watched every week. It's a dark comedy about suburbia. The characters are funny, the plot combines mystery, relationships, growing up, and all kinds of issues that take place in real life...as well as a lot of ridiculous events that in no way resemble real life.
It's entertaining, which is what television is supposed to be. I have absolutely no problem with it.
