Desperate Housewives

I just checked out the sopranos website to check the cast list and realise that they must be regretting their topically relevant poster

first thing you see when you check out the website

:eek: :(

If you are worried about people being offended by this image, why have you placed it here?

It's not even a thread about the Sopranos. :rolleyes:

Certainly wins a prize for one of the most useless posts. I don't see the problem with it - the poster was done months befoer the disaster.

I thought the second episode was a huge improvement on the first, but the voiceover still grates. I'm not a fan of the voiceover as narration when it's used that heavily and esp when it's such an annoying voice :mad:

One thing that did occur to me - how the hell can a short arse like Gabrielle have been a catwalk model? For what? Mothercare?
 
Watched it the other night, have to say i quite enjoyed it, my eldest son also enjoyed it when after a lot of moaning realised it is bursting with fit, older women !

It's also based on the premise that behind the facade the suburbs are a hotbed of intrigue. They're not. Generally, they're really fucking dull.

That's where you are wrong...and where Lynch was right. Scratch the surface of dull middle class Christian suburbia and you find the stench of decay, hypocracy, death, abuse and necrophilia. Believe me (I stopped over in Guildford for a few years in the eighties).

Harpo tells me that this series is really good, and has also said it is a mix of sex and the city (which I never saw more than ten minutes of) and Twin Peaks. I may give it a go, but I note the scepticism of the Lynchness tag amongst urbanites. I also note that Harpo really liked Footballers Wives so may not be the best guide to Groucho likes TV wise.

but theres some good lines and there is a david lynch creepy suburbia thing running through it as my bro pointed out.

and a secret - so i'll have to keep watching. . . :o

:cool: :)

Yeah. I thought it was good too. And agree with that creepy undertones thing, sort of stepford wives weirdness. Makes for something a bit out of the ordinary.

Will watch again, if I remember when it's on, which is unlikely. :rolleyes:
 
i think this is one of the most brilliant programmes to come to tv, ever. i'm not joking.

i grew up in a neighbourhood like this in america, and i have never seen a tv programme so accurately portray that lifestyle. perfectly. sex in the city was a joke, carrie living in that huge apartment paying $600 a month my arse, and living on a journalist's income, don't get me started.

desperate housewives is so real and really portrays the mums in america. not that i feel bad for them as they're all money obsessed, but it is very accurate. i identify with the crazed ritilin addicted one myself, or else the divorced one, but they all strike a tone with me.

Excellent post, cos it gives me an excuse for us all to see why such trifling details don't atually matter...

See? She's bendy and everything!!
 
And bendy. Lots of evidence for her being fit and bendy.

I only watch the show in the hope that she'll come breezing down the stairs, silk robe agape and flowing behind her revealing Eva in her smalls...truly wonderful TV moments...
 
Perhaps that's the thing. After all, none of the Sex and the City ladies were particularly attractive. Result? The show had about five straight male viewers.
 
She looked very lovely indeed the other day when she was washing and shaving by the jacuzzi in red bra and knickers.

i thought Carrie was very attractive, but perhaps not in a sex bomb kind of way.

really? i think she looks a bit horse like. sex and the city was shit in comparison to desperate housewives. find myself liking pretty much all the characters, think terri hatcher's is probably the worst/most annoying. bree and lynette are brilliant, hope after last episode they're going to feature eadie a bit more too
