Members All My Shadows Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 I liked the second episode better than the first. The stuff with Renee and the bartender was WEAK and LAME and POINTLESS. Vanessa should have thrown that script back in their faces. What's the point of Bob and Lee? All they use Lee for is to make stale gay jokes, and does Bob ever even have lines? Love Bree and the sexy cop. I know he probably tapped that ass like he was looking for maple syrup. Tom and Lynette suck the life out of every single scene they're in. I'm glad that couple at the B&B told them off. The Gabrielle stuff was too boring and predictable once we knew who the stalker was. This might sound bad, but I'm so sick of rape being exploited by hack writers. If they want you to feel one way or the other about a certain character, they can just drop rape in there and the job's done. They're all dumb ass hell because I don't think Carlos would go to jail if he turned himself in. Felicia I hope my girl ain't dead, but I'm sure she is. These two episodes were just weird to me. It felt like the first episode was a season finale all on its own, but then they threw in the cliffhanger resolutions (Paul turning himself in, Felicia's car accident) and decided to make the second episode the season finale. The fact that the *big* stories were so far apart from each other just highlights how disconnected this show is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 Loved the scene of Beth killing Felicia, it was epic. The whole Gabby's step-father thing was rather unconvincing to me but as I just watched the final minutes here (Mountain Time) I absolutely love the chilling final scene. Yeah in a way it does remind me of Season 4 but the whole situation is completely different; no police, very chilling, a new secret, a body in the box and yes involving everyone. Actually, just like how B&S' season finale in my opinion ended up working well for a series finale, I could totally see this working as a series finale as well although I think DH has been just been officially renewed. Tom and Lynette splitting up? Way past due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 IA. The first episode could have been the season finale with the second one serving as the season premiere for next season. It was incredbily disjoined LMAO. I love the way you put it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 Ratings for DH...not very good http://www.zap2it.com/tv/ratings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 They've been around 10 million this season on average I think. Maybe? Someone help me out. But yeah, not good for a finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 They were up in the 8 HH..dont recall the Viewer total. They are in trouble when they lose to Survivor in the first hour. Hell ...Criminal Minds had higher numbers last week and it wasnt a season finale. The 6.7 doesnt look good at all and thats the higher number of the two hours.

Members CassieFan Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 I hated the finale, the only good thing was the separation of Tom and Lynette. Tom is a lame excuse for a human being. Yeah, I know Lynette can be controlling but she endured HELL with that man. Tom's pizzeria dream that almost put them through bankruptcy, the evil seed known as Kayla Scavo, Tom's college experience where he basically told her that she needs to take care of this family from now on financially because he'll be sooooo busy with the studying (LOL!), affair with Renee in college ecc. What is the point of Renee?! Drea de Matteo had a lot more storyline last season and she left the show because she was unhappy. I doubt Vanessa will return for season 8. Bree's storyline this season can easily be named "Bree and her men". Carlos was pissed at Bree when he found out Andrew ran over his mother in s1 and when he killed Gaby's stepfather, suddenly he and Bree were OK? I really hope season 8 is the last season of the show.

Members psychofan Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 LOVED the finale! Although I felt the season as a whole was weaker than the last, the finale was much better. I enjoyed the conclusion to the Felicia/Paul storyline (although I can't help but wonder if we haven't seen the last of Felicia). Also the Tom/Lynette stuff is gut-wrenching. I can't help but feel that it is such an echo for marriages today. Love the writing there. Basically, I cannot WAIT for next season!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 5, 2011 Members Share Posted August 5, 2011 Show is done after this coming season http://www.tvline.com/2011/08/scoop-desperate-housewives-to-end-this-season/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted August 5, 2011 Members Share Posted August 5, 2011 Oh wow, didnt know Cherry had stepped down from his duties. It should be interesting to see how the tone of the show changes if at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 5, 2011 Members Share Posted August 5, 2011 The ratings have been free falling. I think its time to end it. It should have ended this past season actually or the season before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted August 5, 2011 Members Share Posted August 5, 2011 Im glad to hear the show is ending after next season. It had a good run. Let it die with whatever dignity it has left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted August 5, 2011 Members Share Posted August 5, 2011 Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. I thought Desperate Housewives was always consistently entertaining (minus the clusterf#ck that was Season Two) and I enjoyed watching it. Was it can't-miss-TV all the time? No. Especially not after the first season. But I still made a point to watch it and I enjoyed it. And the ratings are still consistently good in comparison to other primetime shows, and is still a top-watched show. 12 million viewers isn't something that most shows can brag about.

Members Cheap21 Posted August 5, 2011 Members Share Posted August 5, 2011 Agreed (although I loved S2). I still find the show entertaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted August 6, 2011 Members Share Posted August 6, 2011 Second that. I have loved it from the first episode and will love it long after it's gone. I've never understood the constant criticisms that it's taken in recent years. Do I think it is as good as the first season? No. But most shows are never as good as time goes on. I still think that DH is better than most other shows on television with writing, acting...everything. I am so sad with this news! I was hoping for two more seasons.
