9/2/2023 0 Comments Desperate housewives episodes![]() It’s a close call, but Teri Hatcher seemed to almost exclusively get the humorous storylines, and so for sheer number of funny situations, I gotta give it to her. I’ll never forget when Lynette ate the marijuana brownies, or Bree shooting George’s speaker. Every housewife has gotten some gut-busting moments, with Gaby and Susan in particular being highlights for seasons on end. One of the things that made DH such a breath of fresh air was how funny these women could be (and how outrageous the situations got). If there was one Housewife I didn’t want to screw with, it would probably be Bree! Tightly-wound, card-carrying member of the NRA, Marcia Cross brilliantly portrayed a bit of a darker streak in her than the other ladies, and even abandoned her own son! How tough the housewives got is why this show was so juicy. There wasn’t a day that went by where someone didn’t need to be sneaky or underhanded, or outsmart, or flat-out threaten someone who got in their way. The second of four characteristics, that I think make up the life of the show, was how the ladies handled desperate situations. ![]() As a weapon, Gaby was never afraid to play up her sex appeal. The first actress cast, she was the youngest housewife, and a former model. But I’m not complaining!Įva Longoria is hard to deny as the babe of the block. Never thought I’d be into the cougar thing, but Desperate Housewives made the concept very appealing. With the exception of Lynette, all the ladies found themselves showing a little skin more often than they probably needed to. I can’t help but start with something that was hard to ignore. In this way, each Housewife represented a characteristic of the show: You know how there are 4 basic food groups? Well I believe there are 4 basic elements that defined Desperate Housewives: Humor, Drama, Toughness, and Sex Appeal. And while each of the ladies excelled at all of them, each lady also had one in particular, they were especially good at. Yes, this is a Desperate Housewives super-blog, and I can’t think of a better way to take another trip down memory Wisteria lane! There were 4 primary housewives, so there will be 4 primary nominees (some may be more) spread across 15 categories, and concluding with my take on the 15 best episodes of the series. It is impossible to imagine the show without any one of them.įor a blog that’s a little different, I thought I’d throw together a series of groupings, that I think cover the best (and worst) of this series in some fun ways. ![]() Not unlike something one might have gotten from Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives’ quartet of women shared an unbreakable bond that went beyond just being neighbors. They truly felt like sisters to me, and I loved each of them equally, with no true favorite. Over the years, the strongest theme to take away from the show is that of sisterhood. I thought, ‘I need to write about this.’”Īnd with that, the pilot’s very first scene opens with Mary Alice turning a pistol on herself, only to become the pitch-perfect, elegant, omnipresent narrator of the entire series. ![]() It suddenly occured to me: If my mother has had feelings like that, then every woman has had those feelings. She started telling me stories about how desperate she had felt while alone on a farm in Oklahoma with three small children. can you imagine a woman being so desperate she would resort to an action?’ My mother took her cigarette out of her mouth and said, ‘I’ve been there.’ That was an astonishing comment to me. In an interview with EW.com, Housewives creator Marc Cherry stated, “One night we were watching the trial coverage of Andrea Yates, the depressed Texas mother who drowned her five children in the bathtub. “Guilty” (1×08) is one of Housewive’s greatest episodes, and that is because it is representative of the impetus of the entire concept of the series: This is by no means new territory, and DH seemed to take its best cues from T he Stepford Wives and American Beauty, but there was something undeniably addictive about the tales on Wysteria Lane, and it must say something that a dude like myself never missed a Sunday in 8 seasons. Particularly that of the dark underbelly of suburbia. Deadwood, Veronica Mars, Entourage…My favorite of them all was LOST, but right there with it was another ABC debut: a delicious prime-time soap known as Desperate Housewives.Įqual parts hilarious, emotional, and macabre, Housewives scratched an itch in tv viewers they didn’t know they had. Another retrospective! 2004 was just such a great year for new shows. ![]()

I live with my DH and one very spoiled (rescued)cat named "Oscar" who loves to watch TV when I put his "Hammy Hamister" tape in. I have three sons, one in the Navy in Virginia, one in the Air Force in Montana, and one here in MO. Must tries: Pastrami, Brisket, Sticky Toffee Pudding.I live in a small rural community just south of Kansas City, MO. Overall a great restaurant, but some areas were not quite up to the standard as others, I would definitely go back, but avoid certain items. The Sticky Toffee pudding was incredibly good and should not be missed. The sides were good, with the Charred Greens being the standout and the fries lacking anything special and the garlic sauce being OK at best. ![]() I really wished they provided more sauce (or a bottle) for the table as the portion they put on the plate is no way near enough. The main meat was all excellent, but not quite at the level of some of the best BBQ we have tasted. The Potato Skins were OK, but lacked any depth or complexity of flavour and felt like it needed something else to enhance it. The pig tails were quite vile tasting and were ultimately left by all of us on the table after only a few bites. Unfortunately some other courses, namely the Pig Tails, Potato Skins and Fries missed the mark. The food on the whole was great, with the Pastrami being the single nicest dish I have eaten this year. The food order took a little longer but was nothing to complain about. Our drinks order was taken quickly and they arrived soon after. by a great member of staff who quickly found us a table for one extra after our original plans changed.Īll the staff were excellent, besides one lady who clearly didn't want to be there. Chunky wood and metal everywhere with a lovely smoke smell emanating from the front of the restaurant. The setting and décor is excellent - exactly what you want from a good BBQ restaurant. We visited here last night for an evening meal. What the surprise was was the bill, £115, super reasonable…Ī massive thx to patrik & the Italian waitress/supervisor for making our evening special… More A side of fries and the lovely watermelon & tomato salad was great and refreshing for my rib… My wife had rotisserie chicken and me the dry aged beef rib, the chicken was extremely succulent, where mine was sticky, ( kept bone for dog ). We started on a couple of flat breads with toppings of crispy beef fat & spring onion & dry-aged beef with chimichurri… both very tasty as was the cubes of crispy ox-cheek…. Our waiter Patrik was very attentive and knowledgeable throughout our meal… Asked if we’d been here before ’no’ he guided us through the menu, which was very helpful… ![]() The restaurant looked extremely busy with people out on the terrace and enclosed Veranda dining… Thankfully we had a table booked & was sitting inside main part of the restaurant…. was a queue at the door, which in some ways was annoying but otherways a good sign. We hadn’t been out for a while, and wanted to try something different from the norm, so decided here Smokestak… Firstly had drinks at a couple of local cocktail bars nearby which were nice cubbyhole style bars… Then came for dinner at 7:30pm, There. ![]() Restaurants with Outdoor Seating in London.Restaurants for Special Occasions in London.Vietnamese Restaurants for Families in London.Greek Restaurants with Private Dining in London.British Restaurants for Large Groups in London.Holiday Village Majorca - Protur Monte Safari.Hotels near V&A - Victoria and Albert Museum.Euston / Kings Cross /St Pancras Hotels.Docklands / Canary Wharf / Isle of Dogs Hotels.The Leading Hotels Of The World in London.InterContinental (IHG) Hotels in London. ![]() ![]() ![]() The staff there was helpful and super clear about the rules and parameters.

Our private party started as a 7, so I booked a closed group (with 6 or more participants, this is an option), but due to winter flus and teenage lassitude, we were down to 4 on the reservation day. And it isn’t a gimme-you still have to think it through! All people in the party must signal agreement to being given said clue before it is shared (smart plan!) and then a clue comes on a tv screen in the room.
