I LOVE this show. ABC has created two awesome shows in Desperate Housewives and Lost, that have continuing storylines each week.

OK...

I watched this show for the first time last Sunday. It sure looked to me as if the man who has a son and a dead wife is a murderer, the show did everything but scream it out. "That's assuming you outlive me" - chilling line.

But then I talked the next day to a friend who is a fan of the series from the start, and she says I have it all wrong, no way the guy killed his wife. In fact, she says, the series opened by showing the wife commit suicide.

So what is going on here? Is the guy guilty and dangerous like it looked to me, or am I misunderstanding that plot thread?

I think your misunderstanding the concept of Desperate Housewives. You see, it's not a show where events happen each week, and are all resolved in an hour. Instead, this show has an ongoing continuity, such as the husband seems to have a mysterious life, but we only get a small glimpse each week. The wife did kill herself. Why? We don't know. Why is the husband such a shady character? We don't know. Questions will be answered, but the beauty of Housewives is that you need to tune in each week.

Nopers I didn't misunderstand the concept at all, I simply asked for an explanation of the anomaly where it seems they were suggesting the husband killed her (not just has a shady past) yet that doesn't seem possible. I know more will come out in coming weeks, I just wondered about that one logic aspect.

Anyhow, I'm glad to see shows with real actors and writing popular again, and not just all reality programs.

Anyone watch today's episode. The red-haired character is amazing. Too funny :) They should have someone like her in all strip joints to make it funnier.

Brie is definitely the quirkiest character of the whole bunch, but I find myself really liking Gabrielle the most. I just like the whole storyline with her cheating on her husband with her underage gardener. I can't wait until her husband finds out, which he eventually will. I think it'll be within the next few episodes, at that.

This show is definitely my favorite show of the season. :D

Really good episode, as always.

I so love the relationship Susan has with her daughter.

Also, does anyone else find Teri Hatcher surprisingly likeable on this show? I was never a fan of hers, but Susan is by far the most likeable and easy to identify with character on the show.

Yes this is the most likeable I've seen Hatcher. It's probably because she's aging now and she's handling it well, by dropping her old princess persona a bit and being more real. At least that's how it strikes me.

last night's episode was alright but why does the show take such pains to make the women relatively realistic but the men look like they are out of some ad for soloflex machine. I think the casting of the men is the weakest part of the show, they cast them for their bodies, not their charisma or acting ability.

But I'm obviously not the target audience and others seem to like it a lot so...whatever. :lol:

Very true, Archie. The male casting is horrid, from a male's point of view. The women are all attractive (especially Eva Longoria), but they're not blonde bombshells, with large breasts and a 170 IQ, because men must love that, right? :? They all seem very real, and you can imagine these women in these situations. The men just seem like bait to reel other women in. 21 million viewers a week means they don't need more viewers to be a hit.
