Desperate Housewives

Well,

I finally watched it. A friend of mine recorded all the Desperate Housewives to date, and I finally watched all 16 episodes this weekend. All I can say, Suburbia never looked so good. As being of the unfortunate Canadians would must live in Suburbia I must say, Desperate Housewives is as close as it can get sometimes.

I really enjoy the antedates every week by the shows deceased character Mary-Alice. She sheds new light into this area and provides a frightening accurate description of how much Suburbia is sometimes.

"Yes, each new day in suburbia brings with it a new set of lies, the worst, are the ones we tell ourselves before we fall asleep. We whisper them in the dark, telling ourselves, we're happy. Or, that he's happy. That we can change, or, that he will change his mind. We persuade ourselves we can live with our sins, or, that we can live without him. Yes, each night before we fall asleep we lie to ourselves in a desperate desperate hope that come morning, it will all be true"

Wow, that is very true. For those who haven't watched the show, let me tell you, it's quite the trip.

We have The Narrator (Marry-Alice) as she sees the world, The Model (Gabriel), The divorcee (Susan), The Anal Retentive (Bree (I love her)), The busy body (Ms. Huber), The Outcast (Edie), The Freak (Zack), the Sympathizer (Julie), the Cheater (Rex, Bree's Husband), the Loner (George the pharmacist), the Betrayer (Carlos, Gabriel's Husband), the Tries to Hard (lunette), and the Bo Hunk (Mike). We have quite the cast, and they never disappoint.
