Housewives in Trouble…
Good morning again, Housewives fans. Ready for some more dish? You’re going to love this one! Now, we all know Desperate Housewives is no stranger to controversy. Nicollette Sheridan ads, anyone? Well, they’re in trouble again. I was browsing news sites and saw that the Parent’s Television Council is angry about television’s portrayal of marriage. They say that too many characters are shown having sex outside of marriage and very few married couples are “positive” examples of married couples.
The group specifically singled out our favorite formerly warring couple, Gabby and Carlos. They say they fought a lot, got divorced and only got excited about each other again while having an affair behind Edie and the Mayor’s backs. I don’t know what the people in charge of groups like this are thinking, cause it seems like they haven’t taken a close look at the couple.
Now, granted… things have been rough between Gabby and Carlos. They fight and have problems just as any other married couple would (although I doubt most break out chainsaws during a fight). Still, when it all comes down to it, they obviously love each other a lot. Gabby was there for Carlos after Mama Solis’ accident. Carlos defended Gabby when a photographer posted naked pictures of her online and Gabby is sticking with Carlos despite their changing fortunes and Carlos’ blindness.
Of course, we’re talking about the same people who thought Gilmore Girls was inappropriate as well, due to the main character having been a teen mother. So, take their opinions with a grain of salt. Where you do stand on the issue? Do you think the Parent’s Council is right or are you shaking your head in wonder alongside me? Comment and let me know! Til next time… take care! I leave you now with a Gabby/Carlos fan video. Enjoy!
