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.

smut smut smut I think the next time I see a negative characterization of female business owners I will sue like the Muslim's sued Fox and have them give me free commercial time to promote my business.

I agree.......I've watched it from time to time. It is actually pretty funny but I would NEVER have a child watch it nor feel it is material for many. I'm a mature adult and know it is just entertainment, it won't corrupt me anymore than watching "Saving Private Ryan" makes me want to kill everyone. If you put it in perspective and don't pontificate about it virtues or vices and keep it in perspective than you should be ok........LOL........

Exactly; unfortunately for the blues, Bush supporters CAN discern between fantasy and reality.

Another thing:

The article is sorta right about religious conservatives being entertained by immorality, just as long as their is punishment, at least in my case. But it's not that I enjoy seeing punishment. What I don't like are the lies that destructive behavior has no consequence, or can even be positive (liberating, empowering, etc.). So long as the show doesn't make immorality heroic, I can laugh at something which is funny.

Desperate Housewives isn't all that funny to me, but that's possibly simply that it doesn't strike close to home. It does seem to be a well-made and even intelligent show. (I also have to note that it is overly explicit at times.)
