I HATE Desperate Housewives! I cannot explain how much I hate that show and all the media buzz that comes along with it. I was hypnotized at the beginning of the season and believed all the hype when they (and I say 'they' meaning the media) penned it the new "Sex and the City"; I should have known better, but I fell for it. I fell even harder when everyone and their grandma's were watching, then even harder when everyone in our office Tivo'd it. So, I watched the first few episodes. Then it hit me, like a trunk full of a baby blanket: I hate this show! and I don't care who Dana is, really, I don't. It really hit me when I wasn't cracking up over the 'jokes'. I say jokes in quotes like that because seriously I never found it to be slap on the knee funny BUT my co-workers would come to work a full 12 hours later and would still be laughing their asses off from whatever Susan did the prior night to get Mike's attention. Hmmkay...let's see, she is a middle age divorcee, with a Gilmore Girls daughter relationship and she is competing with the neighborhood slut for the new guy on the block's attention--aha! I see the "Sex and the City" connection now---NOT! If I was any of the actresses on SATC, I would be outraged that they were even comparing this show to SATC. I'm outraged enough. The jokes are bland and mindless and the drama is draaaaaaaaaaaaaawn out. I think the show would be okay if they could just decide whether it is a comedy or a drama; it does nothing as both, to me.
For that opinion, every Monday like clockwork, someone in my office, "ew"'s me. No joke. I'll be minding my own business and a co-worker will come up and ask, "Did you watch Desperate Housewives last night?" all excitedly. I'll reply with, "no, I don't like that show" and each and every time, the response to that is: ew.
OK, what the fuck?
I don't like the show. Oh. Well. I am sure I am not the only person in America not watching.
As if that is not enough, now every time I turn on the TV, there it is: Desperate Housewives Mania! Since I was home sick this week, I got it in full effect: Teri Hatcher's ABC interview on Tony Danza; Teri Hatcher's interview on PrimeTime; Desperate Housewives on Good Morning America; on Oprah (twice!--2 days in a row); and so on.
Can it please end, already? I get it--we needed another show to be such a phenomena as "Sex and the City"--great job, Media Gods, you have succeeded that buzz and everyone watches the show but can we take it down a notch because Teri Hatcher is not all that!
Yep, I said it, sue me.

Hooray I totally agree. I live in Australia and that pap has just started airing down here as well. We just lost SATC and they are hyping DH as better...better my arse! I've watched two episodes to give it a go and I just can't do it anymore! It is a complete pile of fetid poo! And please the voice over is sooo overdone, we don't need to be told when someone is about to walk across the street jeez - we can figure some stuff out for ourselves! You can't even watch it for the fashion cos its all weirdo suburban soap clothes.
So stay strong there are plenty of others who agree with you.
