Yes, I admit I actually watch the show on a regular basis. More for the black comedy than the soapy angle. Plus, Bree is almost like my Mom in real life, so I'm drawn to the show like I'm drawn to MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE in that it's like I'm watching some parallel universe version of my family.

You have to admit, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES is a boon for genre actors to break out of the genre ghetto. You got Lois Lane, Agent Cooper, two Alliance officials and god knows how many other genre actors on there. The casting directors on that show must be huge geeks to be able to pull all that off.

And it just occurred to me that three of our BDH's now have series. Nathan with HOUSEWIVES, Adam with CHUCK, Jewel with the small bit on STARGATEZ; ATLANTIS and Summer in THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. If only STANDOFF wasn't canned, then there'd be four. Mind you, I don't think Gina will be out of work anytime soon. Her and Alan seem to get steady work. Ron's pretty much retired, I think. Thus Morena and Sean seem to be the only ones collecting unemployment.
