I like the scenery in that show.

[No_Outcome_But_Victory]

Not only is the show gravely immoral, but looks quite cheesy as well...

[SoFloFreeper]

The free market is a wonderful mechanism, isn't it?

[MikefromOhio]

my wife likes the story, I like the scenery, it works for our family :)

[UB355]

My wife and I watch and enjoy the show. It's on Suday night. Never disguised what it was.

sullying untold numbers of children doesn’t concern them much

Parents need to take responsibility for their own children and television sets. Advertisers and TV shows cannot be blamed for "sullying untold numbers of children".

[reg45]

I think it's one of the funniest shows on TV.

[Chuck54]

I've gotta start watching this show and see what all the hullabaloo is about. Hadn't given it much thought until all these boycotts started.

ABC has got to be loving the free advertising! Sunday nights, right? Setting a reminder now.

I think that YUM! Brands has realized that Desperate Housewives has already Jumped the Shark, as they say. It will survive this season by being as noisily controversial as possible, but that will be the end of it. It is beginning to look like DH was designed from the git-go to be a "one-season wonder". YUM! Brands is smart to benefit from the initial hype, but to avoid the messy denouement...

The show is dispicable!

I watched last night's episode in which a 16 year old kid ran over a woman with his parents car and was upset because he might get into trouble. He was further scripted to say that the woman, who was a grandmother type, had "lived her useful life" and so what that he ran her over.

The show is phsycopathic, sick and twisted! As are those who wrote it and those who aired it!

[ThreeYearLurker]

It's the best show on TV, why would you boycott it?

[asgardshill]

Good for the free market - may it ever reign.

And in my opinion, watching an episode of Desperate Housewives will not instantly turn the viewer into a pervert or a raging sex maniac. But the show's writing is obtuse and poorly rendered, it deals with subject matter best left to an "anything goes" cable channel like Showtime, and I just can't get past the cheesy title. I'm not a fan.

Other advertisers remain strong supporters of the new fall dramas. Target and K-Mart are the two most notable examples.
Target is already on my (*)hit list because of their decision to bannish the Salvation Army and their red kettles this Christmas season. And this announcement (above) makes me all the more committed to send them a strong message of dissent on their corporate positions. You can send them a message, too. Their email address is:

guest.relations@target.com.

If I had ever watched this show I would quit watching it right now.

[MindyW]

I really enjoy the show. It reminds me of the old soaps Dallas or Knots Landing.

[Ignatz]

I have never seen an episode of DH>.
From the promos, it appears to be a show about married women breaking their marriage vows by having sex with their neighbor's husband(s).
I don't see the entertainment value in that, unless it's in the same sense that "Faces of Death" is entertaining.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

That show should be called Desperate Network Program Directors.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Ooops. My 22 yr old daughter and I enjoy watching it. Some folks might not get the dark humor or satire, though. Do people actually think this is a drama portraying a slice of normal American life?
