Best of 2006?

by Marilyn Porter

Gabby and Sister MaryIt’s that time of year again, when the year comes to a close and we turn our thoughts inward to reflect on the year past. This is the time when we start to see “best of” lists show up on tv, in newspapers and magazines. We start to consider ourselves, what was the best of the past year? What was the worst? “Desperate Housewives” has managed to make it onto a couple of lists already, in one form or another. Journalist Kevin Thompson made Gabrielle’s knock-down, drag-out fight with Sister Mary his Best Catfight of the year in his best TV moments of 2006 list. And, honestly, who didn’t love that scene? I get the giggles just thinking about it. The fact that it took place in a church only makes it better.

Felicity Huffman also made a “best of” list, this time it was The Nateflix’s Guide to the Year’s Best. While her honors had little to do with “Desperate Housewives”, I felt they were due a mention here. He gave her a “Free to be You and Me” Award, and said, “Felicity Huffman gave the performance of her career as a transgendered man becoming a woman in ‘Transamerica.’” Wow! You go, Felicity!

So what do you think? What do you think the best (and worst) moments of “Desperate Housewives” were this year? I think the best moment in my opinion was the hold-up at the supermarket. Again, Felicity turned in an amazing performance and the entire episode had my jaw on the floor. Worst? The horribly failed Applewhite storyline. Didn’t it feel like at least a couple balls were dropped on that one? Such potential wasted! Ah well, it can’t all be fantastic, I suppose.
