thanks for the recap--great title.

i am BORED of lynette and her scheming parenting skills.

as for george, i dont think you understand how insanely difficult it can be to find replacement china pieces when your pattern has gone out of production! bravo to george for that extra effort!

and dont send away bree's kid, he's kinda cute. you know, in a repressed, angry, poorly acted way.

Where the heck are Lynettes twins?I love how she puts the older kid to bed and you see the 2 empty bunk beds in the room.Cally me crazy,but wouldn't the other kids already be in bed?
So far not loving the new season.Too much going on and not enough happening.

"Now I don’t know about you, but if I made the same sounds I make during sex when I’m eating my favorite food, I’d be banned from every Taco Bell in the tri-state area."

I don't know about anyone else, but when I eat Taco Bell, the sounds are coming from another orifice besides my mouth. And I wouldn't exactly call the collection of sounds an assgasm either.

DH used to be my favorite show, but I am so into Greys Anatomy now, its much better!!

Good recap by the way!

I agree! I can't stand the fact that Lynette only has ONE kid this season. Why isn't her husband as desperate as she was working the home? Oh, perhaps it's because she had to take care of 4 kids, instead of 1. Where the hell is the baby girl? When will they address this?

Alfre Woodard must be kicking herself for agreeing to be on this show, especially when they only let her close every show with 3 minutes of action. [If you can call it that.]

I used to work on the lot at Disney and I KNOW that the prison walk way is one of the buildings there. So you were right! It is a Disney building with cheap fencing thrown up.

So far, I'm over this season. They shoud get Jolie Fisher's boobies to make a visit to Wysteria Lane. They're more entertaining that anything else so far!

I love Days of out Lives, Wisteria Lane could use a Tony DiMera. He could kidnap half of the woman and keep them in his own private castle, hehe. Great recap, this show is not as good as last years. They need a better secret/mystery than who is in the basement.

I'm tired of Terri Hatcher and her horrible parenting of her horribly unloyal daughter.

That Carlos is hot though.

I think the guest star should be Robin Willians as Mrs. Mulberry!
It's not like he has anything better to do right?

Emily - I totally heart Grey's Anatomy too! i'm only watching DH because there isnt anything else good on sunday nights at 9!!

I say this every week; that George is one creepy fellow- Great casting job. I miss Jesse Metcalfe :-( This season is kinda boring, but give it time folks. I'm sure it'll pick up. Carlos will be released from prison, Alfre's driven insane husband will escape and terrorize the neighborhood, not to mention crazy Zach!

Very funny recap Edhill.

Whoever mentioned that there is only one child at Lynettes. Her baby went to work with her a couple of episodes ago, if you recall. Then one of her twins made an appearance on this episode. Believe that is at least 3 rug rats.

Perhaps it is in her on set hubbies contract, that he doesnt have to act with more than one child at a time. I certainly would not blame him.

The show sucks. This was the last episode I'll watch.

usnrnpage- that's not a bad theory at all! i've heard that Felicity Huffman is totally stressed out by how bad those kids are in real life....

I love the Dirty Dancing reference!

The show is definately not living up to expectations this year but it kills the time before Grey's Anatomy is on.

Tony B is wrong, the prison walkway was actually filmed at Pasadena CC (the 'cc' stands for 'cool college'!). Trust me, I have a math class in that building 4 times a week. And you're right about the chain link fence being flimsy- it played a huge part in Eva Longoria's concussion.

The pool scene was also filmed @ the school ./famous

Alton IS the BOMB! You should be re-capping Good Eats!

STAR1270, you have no idea. I have all is books and am ordering the dvd's. Sometimes his anal retentiveness gets a little out of hand (a 12 step course in how to store cheese), but he teaches me about cooking, nbot just repeating recipe's out loud.

The prison yard comments-so funny! I am cracking up already, and I am only on the first paragraph! This recap is pretty much funnier then the whole show. Good job, EH.

I don't even watch this show and I laughed. A Skeletor and a Dirty Dancing reference. I am complete!

Anyone agree that the new Solis lawyer can probably do a great Charlie Sheen?

I think he is doing his Charlie Sheen.

Every week everyone is talking about where are Lynette's kids-but my question is where is Gabrielle's? She still isn't acting pregnant, although this week she actually mentioned it.

I think part of what is missing this season is the housewives' interaction with each other. It seems like they all spent more time together last season, and were actually, you know, friends. There was a brief scene this week, but that's it.

Looks like a TVgasm commenter made it big time!

I know I'm getting ahead of your recap of las night's "LOST", but there is a correlation here. Both it and "Desperate Housewives" have strayed from the greatness potential they displayed last year. The sophomore jinx is full on in both series. Last year they were ground-breaking and edgy. Yes, EdHill, DH would be much better on HBO, but even ABC could do a better job with their hits. It's as though they can't stand prosperity, so they fired the original writes and issued 1 million typewriters to 1 million monkeys and hope to come up with good shows. I, for one, am tired of dead ends, unresolved plot lines and disappearing characters. Last night's "LOST" confused the hell out of me, as all characters acted es though the bunker didn't exist and no one had to punch the numbers every 108 minutes. WTF? Can't wait to read the recap on that one. I'll say this, you managed to make a great recap out of a crappy episode. And, hey, all you "Grey's Anatomy" lovers, THAT show is headed in the same direction with way too many subplots and left turns. Now, let's talk about "Boston Legal", where quirky James Spader and hammy William Shatner, together with incomparable Candace Bergen are producing lots of laughs and some interesting shows, albeit reaching a bit far with the trials.

This season is driving me nuts. I feel like I'm watching a play written by a melodramatic 8th grader.

I'd read recaps of Good Eats--oh, hell yeah!

Lynette - Enough already with Lynette's guilt about having a job. The world does not revolve around annoying children. Basically, a whole hour of Lynette thinking she's a bad mother. Lovely.

Susan - another idiotic situation for too skinny Terri Hatcher. Yet again, she imitates Jack Tripper from Three's Company. I'm surprised Suzanne Somers and Mrs. Roper didn't show up in the ice cream spilling scene.

Betty - Not seen, waste of the best actress on the show. Alfre Woodward must be really pissed.

Edie - This show needs more Edie and less Lynette. Fire Felicity Huffman.

Bree - Enough with the black clothes, we get it, you're mourning. More nonsense.

Gabrielle - Probably the stupidest story line ever, the whole prison thing was piss poor. Fire Eva RottenActress- oria, now!

Speaking of Gabrielle's pregnancy - did anyone else notice that she was drinking what appeared to be a glass of wine in the scene where Susan was telling Bree and Gabrielle about seeing Zach in the park? In addition to having awful parents that poor kid is going to wind up with FAS.

Loved this show last year, already can't stand it this season. What was the point in introducing the Charlie Sheen-like new lawyer? He was annoying. And no way Gabrielle would still be able to wear those skimpy clothes if she were pregnant. Oh whatever, I'm bored even just writing about this show. I'd rather watch Jesse Metcalf nail that old broad at this point.

I'm with the other Grey's Anatomy fans - love it! DHW isn't as good so far, but I'm going to keep watching. I'm curious to see what the deal is with the guy in the basement - he scared the s**t out of me when he almost busted out last week. I have faith in DHW that the guy in the basement isn't simply Betty's husband!

Jamie Farr hosts a golf tournament near Toledo on the LPGA Tour, just a geeky bit of trivia

Anyone else remember Adrian Pasdar (the new lawyer) from the cancelled-too-soon "Profit"? Damn, now that was a really twisted and really great show.

I've got to disagree with a lot of the DH bashing. Maybe that's because I watch it with a different mindset. I think it's a highly enjoyable hour of television but I certainly don't expect anything ground-breaking or innovative from the show. I was a little surprised by all the love for Grey's Anatomy because it does lose a sizable chunk of the DH audience when it airs, me included. I gave GA a couple of chances but I found it way too cutesy. You could say the same thing about DH but no matter how serious the situation you never get the impression that the show takes itself seriously, which I like.
