I’ve mentioned this before, I think. That what I’m wrong I’ll admit to it. So, here is correction number 2.
Desperate Housewives. The DH. I wondered out loud if this was going to be a waste of my time, despite my intention to watch it this season because of my man, Nathan Fillion. I watched the preview scene online and groaned. Oooooh no. This was going to su-uck. I envisioned watching it on the DVR and consistently hitting the 30-second jump button until I found Mr. F on the screen.
So, imagine my surprise when the husband turned to DH last night. I decided to watch a bit and got semi-hooked. Eva Longoria Parker – reasonable comic timing. Marcia Cross with Kyle MacLachlan have a quirky stick-up-your-ass kind of chemistry. I had no doubt that Felicity Huffman could pull off even a reasonable script and she didn’t fail me. Teri Hatcher – meh. Nicolette Sheridan – no way. But 3 out of 5 ain’t bad.
One thing about Mr. F, though. What’s with the plaid shirts and pleated cream pants? Hmmm. And when does he get to show off his comic prowess? Good thing he’s so likable.
So. I’ll still be watching. And won’t be groaning half as much as I thought I would. Perhaps will only need to use the 30-second jump every fourth scene or so.
I started watching episodes on abc.com, and now I’m hooked too!
