Despite its gleeful attitude toward fornication, this show is popular in Bush country.

This guy thinks that everybody in "Bush country" is a Bush supporter.
Is it popular among Bush supporters, I wonder?
That's a completely different question.

I had some aging hippie nitwit cashier at Barnes and Noble's tell me it was just the most wonderful show, because it told you exactly how the people who supported "traditional values" really lived. In other words, they told the world they were just were stay-at-home moms taking care of their kids, but they were really torrid sexpots sleeping with the meter reader.

Let me say that I haven't seen the show. But after that description, I really didn't want to. It looked to me like a stealth attack by the blue staters on the red states.

It's a good show.

Lots of interesting twists and turns, 5 good looking babes, and a Sunday lineup of "late to the post" competitors equals a popular show.

The point being made (poorly) regarding the new "panties in a bunch" movement in this country forgets that after all, it's just a TV show.

Desperate Housewives has the same lurid venality, the same cartoony ambience and the same over-the-top bitchiness.

The TOP THREE THINGS one looks for in a TV show !!!

Excuse me, but with Kerry getting anywhere from 35-49% of the vote in "Bush country," this TV show is popular with Kerry voters in Bush country.

I'd never heard of the show until the flap over the ad on the football game. Haven't seen it still.

The media and pundits have gone overboard on this red/blue state thing. This puritanical takeover of America. What a CROCK of sh*t.

Bush voters fall into many categories. Conservatives, libertarians, South Park Republicans, Democrats-with-brains...

These analyses are statistical nonsense, it is stupid even to try. It says alot more about the authors, than of the subjects.

I am proud of the fact that I have not seen one second of the "top-rated show on television".

"Religious conservatives are perfectly willing to be entertained by immorality; they only require that it be punished, at least eventually."

Naw, God is a God of grace and mercy. He only punishes the vain, unrepentant, self-obsessed, who mock Him, like your ordinarly, average liberal.

"As for wives who trespass against their husbands, bring 'em on--as long as they act like sluts rather than sexual adventurers."

AAwaa, he's one slick guy. He's got me there. I didn't know there was a difference. But then, how would I know. I never call anyone a derogatory name like "slut"; that'd be a liberal idiom.

"Such creatures are inevitable in a world where faith has been forgotten along with the knowledge of right and wrong."

Why do arrogant liberals feel that they can speak for others. Why do they feel superior when the falsely project motives to those they hate, which are actually their own.

Knowledge of right and wrong? Heck, I don't even have to be a Christian to know what's right and wrong, just an unbiased historian.

Faith forgotten? This guy has embarassed himself, and he doesn't even know it. There's plenty of "faith" going around, not always a useful faith, or "saving" faith in the eschatological sense. He may have no faith in anyone other than himself, but many in this nation have religious faith, and act consistently with their religious convictions.

In fact, they even tolerate a fair amount of harassment in the public place by ignorant fools like the guy who wrote this article, and have the grace to chuckle about it.

Who advertises on this review page? Check out the "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry" bumper sticker ad on that page.

None of these women are Mrs. Cleaver, but it's an adult show. It's funny.

If you haven't seen it, watch it for yourself. If you don't like it, turn it off. Other than news, I may watch two to three hours of television a week.

This show sure beats those "reality" shows, talk shows, and major network news shows.

The creator of Golden Girls calls himself a Republican? No liberal has ever so succeeded at keeping persistent liberal preachiness on the air! I say he is simply lying, like when the owner of CBS claimed to be a Republican in spite of massive donations to strictly Democrats.

Golden Girls was as predictable as Gilligan's Island:

Some younger relative of the Golden Girls would come out with a bizarre perversion, which would initially shock even Maude. But then everyone would learn that if they really were loving people, they would not only love the pervert, but whatever bizarre and wicked perversion they had.

My tv stays on the history channel, Food Network and the Travel channel. Am I missing anything? Probably not.

Yet more proof, as if any more proof were needed, that television watchers are seriously defective.

FYI

those who enjoy Sci Fi, should definitely be watching the new Battlestar Gallactica on Sci Fi. It's better than the original.

At this writing, it's the top-rated show on television, and the media are galvanized by its success at a time when red-state reverence is seeping into everything. Despite its gleeful attitude toward fornication, this show is popular in Bush country.

It would be nice if the author backed up his assertion with some facts. Such as, how many votes did President Bush receive in the red states and how many viewers does Housewives have?

Most straight adult men should get quickly bored with the show, since we all knew women like this in the past. And left them there.
