I stick with reruns of King of the Hill, Simpsons, and That 70s Show.
On the other hand, I have many friends who keep telling me to watch this show.
From the comemricals, I tell them, "No thanks, if I need to watch something bursting with women, it's not going to be on public TV."
I could be wrong though but TV in episodes doesn't do it for me. I think DVD has changed the way I watch because now if I'm interested in something, I just wait for the series and buy the DVD set. No commercials, better picture (I have terrible reception), and often numerous options.

I live for Netflix so series TV is great that way, but I DVR all my TV now and fast forward through commercials, so I get digital reception and no commercials, it is a really good show with that dark feeling of a Twin Peaks, a lot of underlining mystery in upper $ suburbia.

Looks over-the-top, IMHO.MEG Hal said:
You got one who has many children and can't control them (at least the three boys). One word of advice to her: Bobbit.
You got the Martha Stewart/Stepford clone who can't seem to please her own family. Can't wait for that signature temper.
You got a caliente supermodel married doing the gardener. I don't blame the gardener.
You got a desperate & dateless divorcee desperately competing with a blonde diva for the new male neighbor, who has a secret. Trust me, I'd do Teri over Nicolette any day.
And you got a very nosy housewife, who is probably an expert at stakeout, and that is just her hobby.
Oh, did I mention, the show is narrated by a dead housewife who killed herself, because of her secret we've yet to know?
Yeah, I smell a winner. So what are the chances that Alias will return to her old timeslot next year?

I watch Extreme Makeover:Home Edition, and I watch Boston Legal so I have ended up watching the episodes of Desparate Housewives so far just to see what the acclaim was. I love James Spader on The Practice, and to see his character getting more attention in Boston Legal is great.
But having watched DH so far, I don't think it is as great the acclaim built it up, despite it's huge viewership numbers. As a Drama/Comedy, I far prefer the comedy portion of the show. The drama portion seems boring. Of course, the drama is what actually gives the comedy it's punch. But it is still a Sunday, and I likely will end up watching it because it fits between EM:HE, and Boston Legal.
So far, it hasn't blown me away like Lost has.

I've seen the first two episodes. I really enjoyed the first one - there was a lot of depth along with the humor. I didn't like the 2nd one as much though. It didn't seem to go anywhere...MEG Hal said:
