Desperate Housewives: Rating: 0.5 star

Just the wrong mix of soap opera, comedy, and thriller.

Reviewed November 12, 2007

At first, I wasn’t watching this show because it was popular, and I am always at least two years behind the trends. Then I wasn't watching it because of their title sequence, in which they make the common mistake of assuming that the lady from the Arnolfini portrait is pregnant — petty and snobbish, yes, but I just needed an excuse to go with my gut feeling, which was that this show sucked, without actually having to sit through an entire episode.. And now that everyone’s talking about how the show has gone downhill and sucks big time, I can say I was ahead of the trend — heck, I started this trend. So suck on that, trend-setters.
