Watching "Desparate Housewives" right now!
This is true. I don't understand a lot of it (hard to jump into the middle of any soap-opera type thing and figure it all out in just one night), but it's not nearly as "Freeperish" as I used to think.

Next, I'll have some humble pie for dessert before I go to bed.

3. Is this your first time?
I have been a fan all along and it is not the least bit freeperish.

4. Why did you think it was freepish?
All the women stars are Dems, and they poke fun at Bree's gun-loving Repub.

7. Heh
It's definitely not freeperish - Bree is the only character whose political affiliations are known - she's a republican NRA member. The character and her late husband are based on the parents of creator Marc Cherry (who is supposedly a log cabin type repub). I've never seen any kind of conservative agenda laced into the writing and when Bree's probably-gay son kissed another guy, conservatives boycotted and some advertisers pulled out. I doubt freeps embrace this show.

8. BTW, they had an anachronism in the last new ep
two weeks ago. Alfre Woodard's captive son is on the lam for some crime committed in Chicago, and her other son said "We can't turn him in - they'll execute him". We don't execute people here in Illinois.

13. Yeah, but her plot line often is the thinnest and most predictable.
And her husband's role has really become a tape loop.
Bree is a compelling character for me. She is really tortured. and the pharacist is a creep.

10. I've heard the writers are gay plus
just tonite I saw Julia Sweeney credited as producer. If that is the real 'Pat' she is very far from freepish. You should hear some of her work on dealing with religion and being Catholic.
