Anyone else watching Desperate Housewives?

[cross-posted from CG - cuz I'm a post-whore]

I'd taped the first episode of this when it aired and watched it last night. I wasn't very excited about this going into it but I have to say I loved the first episode.

It's primarily a vehicle for female actresses including Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman. The show reminds me a lot of Picket Fences in its tone. And its funny. Wickedly funny.

And there are so many unanswered questions (not really spoilers): What does the grieving husband have buried under the swimming pool? Why did the narrator commit suicide?

I have the second episode on tape and will watch it tonight. Between this and Lost, ABC really has it on the ball this season. I think they are replaying the 2nd episode Sat. night and episode three airs Sun night. Down with Reality TV!

Uh. No.

Teri Hatcher is still hot.

Teri Hatcher looks worn down and is way too thin.

I watched the 2nd or 3rd episode to see my longtime sweatheart, Nicolette Sheridan. She's aged a bit better than Ms. Hatcher it seems.

My wife loves this one. It's her Sex and the City replacement.

I feel totally opposite. I saw a picture of Nicolette Sheridan and you can just tell that she's had work done.

Haven't seen the show but what is up with Teri Hatcher going on every talk show and teaching people to strip? Somewhere, I saw a clip of her teaching Oprah how to do stripper moves. I lhurled my cookies. It was a cruel thing to see not to mention it probably ruined strippers for me. I think she is a bad woman.

My wife seems to enjoy it...

I on the other hand am busy playing on the computer when it's on.

This show is awesome. It's hilarious. My favorite characters are the 3 holy terror boys. They are great.

Plus, the eyecandy doesn't hurt (and I don't mean Sheridan. She freaks me out!).

I have a odd sort of half-interest in it. I've had both episodes on, but I was playing Rome: Total War on both occasions and wasn't giving it my full attention. In both cases, I was mainly waiting for Boston Legal to start.

So while I think there's some good humour in there, and the hot chicks don't hurt any (the one that's doing the gardener is great), I'm by no means as fascinated with it as I am with, say, Lost.

sadly, I am addicted to it.

But if it could go a little darker I wouldn't mine. Now Profitt, THAT Was a show

My wife's had them locked up for awhile now. Does it show?

I'm not sure if that's a confession, or a fetish...

I have been meaning to watch this. It looks like a lot of fun. However, my will to be lazy has overcome me even programming it in TiVo, much less ever finding out when it is on.

That's OK, Tivo already grabs to many show for the may 6 hours of TV I might give over on a good week.

Nice episode this week. As much as Bree scares the bejesus out of me, her line at the dinner party was a classic. And Terri Hatcher needs to be naked more often on the show. She is gorgeous.

The wife and I think it's hilarious!

"Rex cries after he ejactulates" is a line that will go down in TV history

My wife has taken a fancy to this show.
I use the time to catch up on some gaming ...

that latin chick is hot! but after a few episodes the rest of the show is somewhat predictably lame.

Wife watches + Me games= Good Show

They need to start killing some characters off.
