Sunday Night: DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and BROTHERS & SISTERS afterthoughts

Sunday night was a good night for television. Here are some quick reviews.

  • Some highlights from last night’s DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.

    Is it me or does this season of Desperate Housewives keep getting better?

    Last night’s episode “If There’s Anything I Can’t Stand” was pretty classic with the new Gay neighbors moving in. How awkward was the whole introduction with Susan? I love it when Lee (Kevin Rahm) says “I hope we can live up to your stereotype.”

    And the whole moment when Susan thinks there are three of them, but really it’s the dog… Awkward!

    By the way, I love the actors portraying the new couple, they fit right in with the cast.

    I cannot believe Susan kidnapped the dog so that the neighbors would like her. You know this was gonna end up badly.

    The rest of the episode was fun too, but I wanted to especially mention the Susan story, that’s the one that stood out the most for me.

  • Brothers and Sisters

    Here is my whole issue about last night’s episode of BROTHERS & SISTERS, “States Of The Union.” I really liked the episode but I just cannot get over the fact that Justin (Dave Annable) is going back to his addict behavior and taking extra pills. Not that I didn’t think this would eventually happen, but I didn’t think it would be that easy. I understand that the writers are trying to create more future drama, that’s not my the problem I have, my problem is that we’re talking about Justin who would have rather suffered the pain in his leg rather than take some painkillers, and I find it really hard to believe that he would just fall back into his old habits without fighting it off a bit. At least make it look like he’s hesitating and is torn when we see him take the pill towards the end of the episode. It seemed like it didn’t affect him that much, and I just didn’t find this very credible compared to everything he went through because of his addiction. I do think however that having Justin get into “drugs” again is a smart move. I can only imagine some of the scenes that will come out of it in the future.

      I felt EXACTLY the same about Justin. It was not believable. Too bad…

      Wow, this is amazing, you never agree with me… ;-)

      But I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels that way.

      yeah. I was totally going to write off DH and House and voila… they are good again!

      I like Dave Anable but I felt the writers sort of wrote his story into this corner and to dig it out, they were going to have to go through the motions of the whole recovery, drug use, recovery from THAT storyline and I think maybe they know it now so are trying to speed it up a bit? Yeah, I KNEW he was going to take the pills, I was just suprised how fast already they showed it.

      I have a response to this past sundays show – HOW CAN TOMMY POSSIBLY CHEAT!! THIS IS CRAZY CANT YOU LEAVE A CAST MEMBER AS A SOLID FAMILY WITH NO CHEATING – YOU ARE GOING TO MESS UP THE SHOW. AND THAT NEW LITTLE OFFICE MANAGER – SHE IS SO WRONG FOR THE SHOW. WE HAVE ‘HOLLY’ AS THE RECENT CHEAT! TOMMY CANT CHEAT!

      I wasn’t impressed with the episode.. Everything seems to have taken a total turn from what it once was. Joe, is suddenly a total jerk, Tommy has already “moved on” ( physically atleast) from his wife, Justin is right back where he was when we first met him… I just didn’t like how everyones “image” changed all in one episode.

      I just wanted to thank the writers of Brothers and Sisters for talking about Miscarriage. I had a miscarriage about 2 weeks ago and feel like something so common is never talked about. It can be a very lonely time for women. So, I applaud them for writing about something that everyone seems to avoid.

      Thank you!

      Can you believe the same network puts on The Bachelor and Brothers and Sisters? B&S is so VERY good. Please keep up the good work and thanks for the quality TV. It’s a pleasure to watch every week.
