I remember Peyton Place, really, really racy show for the time. Now, it would be considered tame.

I wonder how the freepers who condemed desperate housewives reacted to the news that the (republican) first lady watches it?

"...if those desperate housewives who make up the fictional make up of the neighborhood portrayed on Desperate Housewives think their desperate housewives..."

I'm getting a headache just reading that sentence. (Not just because "their" should be "they're")

Is this eye-candy bad for the relationships of the millions of viewers?

You betcha. It's exactly what the sponsors want. Single households require that many more goods. Who cares if the society ends up poorer in the long run? This is about next quarter's sales after all.

Is this show really that popular? I've tried watching it a couple of times now, but, it loses my attention after about 15 minutes. The male characters seem kind of wimpy. I don't get the appeal.

Then again, maybe it's me. I tend to like fantasy and Sci Fi stuff, like Charmed, Lost, and Smallville, or suspense/action like 24. I have never liked soap operas.
