    Default Am I the only one who doesn't "just love" Desperate HW's?

    Maybe it's because my Mom watched Days of Our Lives everyday and Dallas every Friday when I was little but I am just sooooo burnt on the whole soap tv thing.

    I just can't get into the Housewives show. I have tried to watch it several times and I get completely bored after about 20 minutes.

    Am I the only one ?

    You're not alone, FL. I've never watched Desperate Housewives.. I never will either. Just doesn't appeal to me, and I don't get what the hype is about either honestly. I don't like any of the people on the show either. Blah.

    I could take it or leave it, I guess. I'd rather take it, but I wouldn't cry if I happened to miss an espisode, though.

    I love the show and watch it every Sunday, but I am getting sick of the way that the entertainment media hypes it to death with this "if you're not watching this show, you truly are lame" mantra. The over hyping of LOST also drives me nuts.

    Teri Hatcher is cute, and I still want to sack Eva Longoria in seven different positions, but we don't need them on magazine covers every two friggiin' weeks.

    If only Picket Fences, a show which tried desperately to offend the senses of the audience, but could never manage, and which DH reminds me a lot of, had gotten this kind of publicity.

    I am so not into this show either. I'm with Rhi, I haven't even gone so far as to try. It does not appeal to me at all. I am so sick of hearing about it, too! I just don't get all the hype.

    IMO DH is one of the worse shows i've ever watched... give me Nip/Tuck, Prision Break or CSI any day... I cant really get into the whole Soap Opera thing...

    If you have never watched it how do you know you won't like it? Most of the negative posting are declarations from people who never saw it.

    Neither my wife or I are soap opera junkies but we really find this funny. You need to watch it for awhile to understand the characters and the various sub plots.

    The lady in the gown mowing the lawn (another poster) is boinking their 17 yo lawn boy. He misses mowing the lawn becasue she was doing him.

    On the way to a formal affair the husband coments that he thinks the lawn looks unmowed and he is going to fire the kid. She makes an excuse to run home get the lawn mowed before they get back so she can keep her boy toy.

    Silly- a little bit but you also see people you know and a lot of situations you recognize. It is one of the few TV shows that I laugh my butt off watching

    Rhia, watch 3 episodes in a row and then report back. I'll bet (you name the bet ) that you are hooked.

    Drama? Adultery? Suspense? Who needs to watch TV for this shit? I just call up a few neighbors and I have it all live.

    I don't watch soaps and I will never watch Desperate Housewives on my own tv. It's on my list of the "Lamest of the Lame" shows that will never get beamed through my TV tube.

    You know not what you miss.........

    It is interesting the strong feelings against the show by people who have never even seen it...

    I watch little TV. Some History Channel, Discovery PBS and the Red Sox. 99% of the current shows turn me off. But this one is a blast

    I don't understand why so many so many of the detractors here are called DH a "soap opera". The show bears very little resemblance to the traditional soap operas on daytime TV, or even the nighttime soaps from the 1980's like Dallas or Dynasty. DH has a dark comedic element to it, that those shows never had. In some respects, DH is a soap opera spoof. Besides what show in the history of television calling itself a soap opera could ever boast a male viewership of 40 percent.

    I really think the naysayers here are ragging on the show because they're sick of hearing about the show, or one of its stars being mentioned in the media. Like its suppposed to be news everytime someone on DH takes a shit. I held the same grudge against Friends for most of the past decade.
