Desperate Housewives

They finally read my blog and made it a little more interesting!

Sunday's episode was reminiscent of the early days when it was a light, funny show with a slightly dark edge. In recent episodes, it's been more dark than funny, and that was definitely ruining it for me.

Susan meets her new gay neighbors- and totally offends them. To make up, she tries to bring over warmed up store bought snacks, but gets rebuffed- so when their beloved dog, Rafael, shows up in her yard, she hides him in the garage in order to be the hero- but when Mike comes home from work early and opens the garage, said dog runs to his owner and gets yellow paint all over his $2000 D&G suit. And they still don't like Susan...

The other interesting story line was Bree- her ex-mother-in-law (from her first marriage to the now deceased Rex) shows up for the wedding shower her friends throw her for her 'baby' which is actually a front so her daughter Danielle's reputation won't be ruined (since she is the real pregnant one, and away at a monastery till she gives birth). Anyway, her mother-in-law finds out its a farce and threatens to tell all the guests, but doesn't at the last minute...

Final funny storyline- Edie finds out she has crabs, and tells Carlos, who then tells Gabrielle who needs to delouse her husband Victor. It would be gross, but it is presented in such a funny way- Gabby plays nurse with Victor and rubs the gross smelling salve on him, and at the shower, Edie smells the lotion, recognizes it and puts the pieces together that Carlos and Gabby are having an affair (even though they were once married) Dum Dum Dum... we'll see what happens next week!
