Reader Feedback on "Ladies' Night"
A good fun program with a typical US style cast, slim women good looking enough to be models and athletic men without a bald patch in sight! What is the problem with using soem 'real' people?

There's one reason to watch this show: Marcia Cross. She's a great actress, superbly playing a character that would be a camp idsaster in the wrong hands. She's also Chernobyl-hot, particularly in the episode where she attempts to seduce her soon-to-be-ex-husband. She's not a freakish waxwork like N. Sheridan. Tape the show and skip the other [tedious] storylines. The redhead is the reason to watch.

You are too funny Steve. Sorry you missed out on the desperate housewives having sex with black athletes. However, even better is a desperate housewife having sex with a black athlete in a chocolate and pastry shop! There are a few Pistons wandering around metro Detroit with time on their hands, who knows where they might wind up? I may not be a hot Latino, but I am Polish, you think I would be camera worthy?
Your analysis of the show hits a bullseye. Life is too short to take sit-coms seriously. Desperate housewives is fun and provides all of us with much needed comic relief. I'd say our society is done elevating women and mothers to impossible standards of behavior and morality. Desperate housewives is absurd and no one should try to glean greater meaning from it. It is a good time to be a woman in this country, because we are finally comfortable enough to laugh at ourselves.

I have to say that while you seem to have a strong need for TV sex scenes (lol) and your instinct for leaving the room when your wife made the all too one sided statement about women being the losers in a divorce (give me a break, ever pay for child support, alimony, your lawyer, her lawyer, your rent, and still have to listen to your ex's bullshit), your analysis of "DHs" is all too simple. The show is about how people (men and women) fuck up their lives.
The saving characteristic is that it has humor in its writing, ... good humor. And a small amount of ironistic payback for the characters.
As to the NFL "towel" incident, ABC had a brain hiccup, I think.

If it's porn you want, just go get some porn--you won't find it on ABC. I like the housewives because of the serial mystery. The episodic storylines are okay, but I want to know more about what happened to the narrator. It reminds me of Twin Peaks, but it's watered-down enough that I watch it to relax, not to analyze.

The shallow characters and their unhappiness are primarily why the show works so well. Its' genius lies in its skewering of the mythology of the white upscale nuclear family paradigm.
As a male viewer, I think the women look fab, but in the case of Teri (Susan) and plastic surgery casulty Nicoletti (Edie) from the neck down:)
