Desperate Ratingsdrives
Well, Channel 7 have done it again. Instead of the regular episode of Desperate Housewives Monday night, they put on this cobbled together piece of fluff called 'Secrets of Wisteria Lane'. And what were these astounding secrets?
- That the cast wear fashionable clothes that sell for thousands at auctions! (shocking!)
- That the cast all get along with each other! (outrageous!)
- That some scenes have been controversial! (gasp!)
- And that Wisteria Lane is not shot in a real street at all, but rather... wait for it... a studio back-lot! (you've gone too far! say it isn't so!!!)
Well wrap me up in tinfoil and pop me in the microwave. There I was, living my life, safely in the belief that the show was filmed in a REAL street called 'Wisteria Lane' somewhere in America, where they no doubt had to shuffle the house owners out during the day so that they can film really fast and then stuff them back at night in time for dinner..... and now this. I'm flabbergasted. My flabber is gasted.
Thanks a bunch Channel 7. A few weeks ago you put on a re-cap episode instead of a new one, and that sucked only marginally less. So now that's two crapisodes. At least there will be a REAL episode of DH on next Monday night. I don't care about the stars' fashions. I don't care how they got the part. All I care about is the story. And the great dialogue. Just press play and don't insult us with this banality. Capiche?

Kerri and i rushed home from dinner to catch it - how dissapointed were we!
Btw, what happened to that post last night - did it vanish in a puff of pink smoke? :-)
haha - wow... it was only up for like 10 minutes, so you must have been awake late! I decided not to post it in the end just in case I offended any theists out there... don't want to come across as a jerk making fun of stuff. Still unsure!
