Desperate Housewives

Good morning, everyone! Hope you’re all having a great day and ready to talk Housewives. I know I am! Now, you know from these posts that I’m a fan of Karl/Richard Burgi. I admit, the guy can be a jerk at times and kinda sleazy at others. Still, he’s entertaining and he does have his moments. I think for me, his most notable one is in season 2, episode 11 when he stands up for a friend. The episode is called “One More Kiss” and has Andrew Van de Kamp at his mean kid best. Check out this youtube video below to see what I mean.

For those who may not be able to see it properly, let me set the scene for you. As you probably remember, Andrew had it in for Bree that year and was doing everything he possibly could to drive her nuts. Because he knows that Bree has a problem with him being gay, he purposefully sets it up for Bree to find her and Justin in bed together, leading to a huge fight. Andrew, determined to get the upper hand, threatens to tell how Bree just sat by and did nothing while George the crazy pharmacist died. Bree is at the end of her rope, but lucky for her she’s got someone on her side… Karl!

She has him come over and explain to Andrew how what Bree did was not actually illegal and he has no basis for threatening her. Andrew takes this in his usual bratty fashion and Karl asks her to give them a minute alone. No sooner does she step out of the room than Karl grabs Andrews and pushes him up against a wall. He tells Andrew that Rex was a good friend and he will not sit by and watch Andrew behave like this. He adds that it would hurt Rex to know what Andrew has become. To top it all off, he threatens to really hurt Andrew if he ever pulls something like this again. Go Karl! Andrew really needed something like that at the time, as he was getting totally out of control. I just wanna know where Karl was when Andrew took Bree to court, went after Bree’s recovering sex addict boyfriend and tried to get Danielle to do the same? I guess he was too busy with Edie and sparring with Susan. Ah, well…

Well, I gotta go now. Stay tuned, though, cause I’ll be bringing you more classic moments from the show as well as recaps and any news as it becomes available. Til next time, take care!
