I think these comments are better than anything on tv. Oh my goodness do they write the script for football games, news, and the bigest looser? I guess they can''t loose fat without a writer.I can do without all the sxxx they put out on tv.

The only thing "Desperate" about this show is how "Desperate" the viewers are to find a life. If you want to cheat on your spouse, go for it, and quit living you life through these losers!

Ya, I think half of the Shows on TV Suck anymore anyway, I refer to it as TV Trash Sitcoms, with such Poor Acting Talent, it makes one want to go to a Grade School Play ! The TV Show Desperate Housewives is one of those Suck TV Shows ! Its Stupid and Ignorant, Bored Women who obviously don''t hold a real job in real life, and they accompolish nothing but spend money on dumb things, Ya, that takes real brains, some show !

Anybody want a scab?

And what other way is it possible to get into their family that''s seemingly tighter than than a person in need of vast quantities of prune juice...

Okay, in semi-seriousness, it is indeed the writers that give the material for the actors to work on. Bad shows are blamed on writers yet good ones are always blamed on actors; regardless of the writing quality put in both. And everything is tuned for mass audiences, which only assures brief moment of popularity before it becomes worthless; smaller, more loyal audiences seem to be more lucrative for the long run. Though there''s nothing wrong in appealing to the masses either...

As for illegal downloading, et al, let''s look at the flip-side: Attempting to return a DVD whose content sucked. That''s as much thievery because a person should buy something they like. Not out of chance and be stuck with it, regardless. The media industry has a unique situation right now.

Desperate housewives is in desperate need of being replaced with something worthwhile.This paticular show is nothing but filth and immoral garbage,with most other sit coms not being much better.If thats the best these writers can come up with,lets hope for a very long strike
