"Housewives": Soap opera suits Wisteria Lane

Cars flying into lakes, sex in limousines, lines like "Don't worry, it happens to everyone," and ex-cocaine addict sous chefs. It may sound like an episode of your daytime soap, but no, it was just last night's episode of Desperate Housewives. I want to be angry that a show that started out so smart and different than anything else on TV has devolved into something just a few notches above your average soap, but I must admit - I'm eating it up!

To sum it up:

I'm still grossed out by Edie and Carlos. I really hope this storyline dies fast, but can't wait to see Gaby's reaction! She might be too busy with Victor to notice though...ugh.

Susan and Mike kissed-yay! Now let's just move things right along and lose Ian. I'm so over him already!

Tom is being a jerk. Lynette hired a hunky new manager. Sounds like the recipe for an affair to me! But seriously, don't ruin DH's one happy couple. They're the rock of Wisteria Lane!

Bree...oh, wait, Bree who? Honestly, no one cares. Drop her contract; we don't miss her!

Next week looks pretty ridiculous as well - whoopee! I think I've given up criticizing the show. The new writing is an acquired taste, and apparently, I've acquired it. Let the drama continue!
