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.

Did he also believe that Harry Potter told you exactly how students in boarding schools really lived?

You should have asked that 60s-throwback, "What do you know about normal?"

It's really a pretty good show.

I assumed it was another stupid "reality show" and I would never even think about watching it.

I was sitting with my wife when it came on a couple weeks ago and watched it with her. It's actually very good and very funny.

I would describe it as a bit of a spoof on the daytime soaps. Where daytime soaps take a year to have a character change their shoes, Desperate Housewives has about a years worth of living crammed in before the opening credits.

I agree, that was my impression from the previews as well. Only dopes believe there is some seedy underbelly. I think I believed that garbage when I was a liberal too. But many liberals think anything out of Hollywood is real so what did we really expect?

It's not stealth....it's not smarmy like American Beauty the movie, the left loved.

It's saitirical a bit and goofy but funny and all the middle aged to youngish gals are attractive which doesn't hurt.

I am really sensitive to PC jabs in shows and movies and I have seen none in this one.

The show that follows it Boston Legal is nauseatingly full of Bush bashing. Shame to waste Spader and Shatner's talents.

DHW is the only network show I watch or have watched in decades......Terry Hatcher is an inspriation for 40 year old wives....hot...very.

Watch it. It's fun.

It's kind of a guilty pleasure, except I don't feel guilty.

I've never watched it. Don't think I ever will. Looks like
typical lib trash to me. On this mornings CNN gab fest at
seven am one of the talking head news gals said she loves it, why am I not surprised.
