I Love ABC on Sunday
October 16th, 2006
Marc Cherry promised that season three of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES would be much improved, and after four episodes, this TV addict whole-heartidly agrees. Between Carlos and Gabby’s hilarious battle of one-upmanship, (the two of them remind me of Itchy & Scratchy), Lynette paying off a little league pitcher to go easy on her son, the creepy Orson Hodge and Bree’s reaction to Andrew’s method for making ends meet on the street (No Bree, he wasn’t doing yard work!) — this season i shaping up to be the best one yet. Oh, and how could I forget, the main reason why this episode was fantastic, the absence of Nora. Let’s hope this is a trend that continues for further episodes to come.
Following DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES is the surprise hit of the season, BROTHERS & SISTERS. Why am I enjoying this series so much? It’s essentially EVERWOOD minus the teenage angst (don’t get me wrong, I miss Ephram and Amy). The show doesn’t have a flashy mystery or jaw-dropping special effects It’s simply an interesting show about a very complicated family.
Finally a warning to Lauren Graham fans. Her ‘role’ on tonight’s STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP is miniscule. Lauren players herself, hosting the weeks episode of STUDIO 60 and her minutes on screen can be counted on one hand (possibly two fingers!). That said, the episode was fantastic, and definitely worth your time. Just don’t expect to feel like you’re in Stars Hollow. ![]()

Actually I hated last night’s Desperate Housewives episode. The whole Susan/Ian storyline was ridiculus from the beginning…the baseball bribery wasn’t really funny…Andrew all of the sudden being nice to Bree despite the fact that he hated her even before she threw him out was totally implausible. On the other hand the absence of Nora was indeed very pleasant, the Gaby/Carlos storyline priceless and at least Nicolette Sheridan got a nice storyline after all. From my point of view the episode was far worse than the first 3 airings.
Regarding B&S: OMG! You really felt that Greg Berlanti began his work in this episode…the characters seemed much more credible than before and the writing was a lot more interesting. All in all I am glad to have a new show which can give me my weekly “Everwood fix” (except for all the Everwood characters like Amy, Ephram, Andy, Nina…).
