In my opinion, Desperate Housewives is by far the best dramedy series on TV at the moment and beats it predecessor-in-mind, Sex and the City, by lengths.

Sex and the City represented a fantasy world very losely anchored in reality, whereas the strongly overdrawn characters of Desperate Housewives have carbon copies of them appearing in many neighborhoods. I'd roughly estimate that there must be a large number of women who can sympathize especially with the characters of Susan Mayer and Lynette Scavo, who are the most universal types of the character cast (the single-raising mother-in-distress and the chronically overburdened mother). Recent surveys bach that up as they show that the character of Susan comes up as the most popular of the DHs, followed closely by the great-looking trophy wife Gabrielle.

Another factor that contributes to the popularity of the series is the perfect mixture of comedy and mystery/crime. My l/f said the series reminds her a lot, plot-wise, of the kind of movies the french director/author Claude Chabrol made.

Sorry for sounding like a high school essay on "What's your favorite TV show",

Good, Dee and Bruce, I'm glad you continue the desperate housewives dialogue. I find it far too entertaining to let lie dormant until the next week.

I wasn't inferring that what you said was nonsense about the guys, especially Mike, Bruce. The probability of each of our characterizations being actual is what made it work for me. I missed Mike in Sunday's episode. I see there's to be a new neighbor for this season's finale, played by Alfre Woodard, who'll become a regular on Wisteria Lane next season. Do either of you guys know anything about him? We'll have to see a few episodes before we can figure out the effects of his genital size on his personality. It should be interesting.

The show's creator Marc Cherry promises we will finally learn "almost" all the secrets by this season's end.

Wow, I should have gone to google before my last post. Alfre Woodard is totally female. There goes the penis effect, all shot to hell :excl:

And she looks hot too... but not as good as Teri Hatcher.

Hey there,

the poll question was about who with you'd like to "lay your pipe" (in reference to the appearance of a good-looking plumber). But - similar question, totally different meaning - if you could pick from the characters, who would you pick to be a lifelong partner?

My choice would be Susan. She's the best overall package of all, sexy, funny and caring. I gave Gabrielle my vote for the pipe laying, but she doesn't have much more to attract me with than her body. With Susan, I even feel the non-sexual attraction vibes, and that makes me pick her.

Who's your choice?
Bruce


BTW: For the guy-loving guys - pick among the men.

Once again our minds are working in a similar fashion, BruceSter. I'm making a list of the guys of the desperate for voting preference. Perchance I have mistakes, plz correct.

Great - I'm the only one voting for Lynette. She's the one that looks to be fun both in and out of bed. Bree would be scary (I went to bed once with a woman who didn't want to muss her hair up, and I get the same feeling from Bree). I like that Bree's a good shot though - what better first date than to go shooting? Susan is probably fun in bed, but I think she's just too clingy. Gabrille is probably a fire-cracker, and I'd have to work real hard to keep up with her. Unfortunately, I probably couldn't afford her afterwards.

Now for the big question - Ginger or Mary Ann?

Take care

I'd take Nicolette Sheridan if she could be the 1985 version of herself in the movie "The Sure Thing." If you've never seen it, go out and rent the DVD-hilarious! Nicolette circa 2005 looks like the badplasticsurgery.com version. Back then, WOW in a white bikini.

Great line by Nicolette pleading provocatively: "One more time, please, one more time. You were magnificent. Relentless, but with a delicate touch."

John Cusak, floating in a pool with a leather jacket on: "Five more minutes, I need to rest just five more minutes. A respite if you will.....Aw Hell, O.K."

For the female I pick Gabrielle with two future dreams: 1) having a house full of good looking kids and 2) moving to New York where she gets a fabulous salary and happy days.

For the male I pick Mike with two future dreams: 1) getting to watch him undress at my beck and call and 3) being able to wake up with him every morning in the same bed.

Aren't you sorry you asked?

I'm sure she can be fun in bed, Ceg, but for reasons I'd not pick her:

1. I'm not bothered by kids in general, but her hyperactive crowd would be too much for me to sustain for long.

2. I don't want to be sagged into the face when I try to give her my bone without condom.

Nice from you to vote for her though - the zero she definetly didn't deserve.

If I was a better writer, I'd already have posted a piece of fan-fic in the Stories section.

Who saw last sunday's episode? The final kiss of Mike and Susan? I taped it, and watched it twice already - the fulfillment of a dream.

Of course, I was glued to the tv for last Sunday's episode, Bruce. --How short sighted of me, not to have taped it! -- I fully understand your rewatching, if for nothing else, the Susan/Mike final kiss. Can you imagine Susan wanting you so drastically she would dash across the street, attack you and suck your face with so much driving passion? What a porn flix this would have made with the cam scanning down to their crotches and focusing in on Mike's cock enlarging and elongating against Susan's pelvic region. Dreams, indeed :wow:

Indeed a very hot picture - it got me captured, but I think that'd be almost too much, since the series in many scenes borders to softcore porn. Showing a big bulge reaching for a woman's crotch would make it porn finally - not that I'd mind, but I guess ABC would mind. I imagine Susan wanting me that desperately (yeah, I got some Ego side), but I guess that remains to be a dream.

I surmise if Terri (Susan) had you as an across the street neighbor, Bruce, you would have no trouble having your dream become reality. Mike would have to settle for another desperate housewife of Wisteria Lane to get his rocks off.

Unfortunately, that's just a TV show, and no reality. A pity.

Just because you throw your hands OUT when you wake up, don't be so hasty to throw your hands UP re. Hatch :excl: Find a way to get her to know you and it'll change all her prior stereotyping of manly desires. Wanna bet?

The word is out. Susan makes up her mind about Mike tomorrow night for all of us to learn. It just might be another episode deserving recording, Bruce.
