Desperate Housewives

Good morning! Lots of great quotes in this episode, huh? Here are some of my favorites:

Carlos: (after Gabby assumes that Lucy must have gained weight since they were an item) Do you think I’m that shallow? That I only go for looks?
Gabby: Yeah I thought that’s what we had in common.

Lynette (to job seekers, after listening to them talk about anyone over 30 with kids getting taken out back and shot): If you guys ever hear a gunshot, do me a favor and tell my four kids I love them very much.

Lee: Aside from the gay parade, gays rarely interact with lesbians in the wild.

Bree: Who are we dishing? I hope its not me
Susan: No we already covered you.
Gabby: We’ve moved on to my daughter the thief

Lynette: (after Susan tells them about Jessie kissing her) She’s your boss? Let her kiss you again and then sue her

Gabby: (after finding out Jessie actually looked like that before) Why didn’t you tell me about this?
Carlos: I wanted to, but you were always next to something sharp.

Bree: (to Gabby, after Juanita suggests that Bree may be behind a statue that turns up in the Solis house) Whenever my kids stole, I used to send them to bed without supper. Just a thought.

Susan: (trying to reassure Jessie that her lack of interest is not personal) That is not true. Also, I think we’re dangerously close to no longer speaking in metaphor.

So, did I miss your favorite? If so, share it with us. I’d love to read em. Take care and see ya next time.

So, usually I pick a favorite actress for the week. Someone who really stood out and stole the show. I couldn’t do that this time, because one scene stuck out to me instead. It was the last scene between Gabby and Lynette.

One of the best things about this show is usually the friendships between the housewives. They get tested a lot, but in the end they always manage to get past whatever happened. I mean, come on… they forgave Edie didn’t they? That’s what I loved that last scene. Gabby and Lynette both had both been used by the other and they were angry about it. Still, it seemed like they really understood what each one was going through and are willing to overlook it all and not let it mess up the friendship they have.

The situations they’re finding themselves in are tough and each one seems to understand that. What made the scene even better is I don’t remember Gabby and Lynette really having scenes like that before. The actresses and characters play off each other well and I say give them more scenes together without the rest of the gang. I also think it was pretty amusing how Gabby is able to tell Lynette is bluffing. I’m a little disappointed though… I would’ve thought Lynette would have a much better poker face than that.

So what do you guys think? Am I right in my pick? Would you have chosen someone else instead? Comment and let me know! I’ll leave you guys with a youtube clip of them in action, thanks to coll DHfan. Take care and see y’all next time.

Another episode down, another 5 or 6 to go. In case you missed it, here’s what went down…

The Solises

When the episode starts, Gabby and Carlos are attending the funeral for his ex-boss. People are trying to get the scoop, but neither of them are talking. Especially Carlos, who is too worried about getting fired. He feels even worse when Bradley’s boss shows up and mentions getting a call from the guy. Luckily for Carlos, the Boss wasn’t in to take the call and never found out Bradley wanted him fired. He assumed Bradley was going to talk to him about a promotion for Carlos (because of the bonus), so he offers Carlos Bradley’s old job. Gabby is thrilled until she finds out that Carlos has hired his ex to help out.

The Hodges

Bree has discovered that Orson is still indulging in some 5-finger discounting and she’s not happy about it. She finds out when she overhears Susan and Gabby talking about a missing candy dish and confronts Orson about it. He, of course, apologizes and promises that it won’t happen again. Bree isn’t buying it and insists that he goes to therapy. At his session he admits that he likes the fact that it’s something Bree can’t control. Bree, meanwhile, is busy making excuses to get in people’s houses so she can return their stuff without them seeing it. The whole plan almost falls apart, though, when she leaves the wrong thing at Gabby’s house and Gabby blames Juanita. Bree almost let’s Juanita off the hook, but a bratty look changes her mind.

The Scavos

While Bree is trying to salvage her reputation, Lynette is trying to do the same for her career. She’s having a hard time looking for a job in marketing because she’s older and it’s a very youth and image driven world. She’s about to give up totally when she finally manages to get hired by a company that is looking to market an anti-aging cream. Later on, she also finds out from Gabby that she’s being offered a job with Carlos. Lynette decides to go where the money is and takes the job with Carlos, but quickly realizes that Gabby only got her the gig so Lynette can spy on Carlos’ ex, who is now working with him.

Susan

As usual, this week finds Susan in another wacky misunderstanding. This time, it involves the teacher she’s working for. Susan hears from one of the kids that the teacher goes through the assistants quick and that Susan is about to be reviewed. Susan is desperate to make a good impression, so she invites the boss over to hang out. What she doesn’t know is that her boss is gay and the woman thinks that Susan is into her. Susan manages to get out of trouble, though, as always.

The Williams

Dave is still planning his big trip and is disappointed to discover Katherine isn’t going after all. He tries and succeeds in talking her into going on the trip with them, though. They’re now on the way to the camp site. Edie, meanwhile is still investigating Dave and discovers dead wife and child in some newspaper stories. When Edie mentions kids to try and see Dave’s reaction, he mentions Paige, but says it was someone else’s kid. Edie knows better though and this should get pretty good if the promo is any indication. So there ya go, the latest episode. What did you all think? I can’t wait to read your thoughts. See ya later.

TV execs and studios aren’t wasting time anymore, are they? The website TVshowsonDVD has just reported that the 5th season of the show is going to be released on September first, only a few months after the season is over. They already have a run down of all the features and a sample of the artwork available. Ya know the real funny part? I missed the latest episode (I ended up borrowing someone’s tape of it). While I was figuring out how I was actually going to get to see the episode, he suggested without thinking (it’s been a Looooong week), my Fiancee suggested I pick up the DVD, but stopped himself mid-sentence. Now, this news comes out. Timing can be a strange, thing huh? Anyway… it’s called the ‘Red Hot’ Edition and will feature Marc’s favorite moments again. So what do you think? Are you excited about this? Comment and let me know. Take care and see you next time.

Hey, everyone!! Are you all ready for another new episode this weekend? I know I am! The episode is going to be called “The Story of Lucy and Jessie”. Here’s the promo, thanks to The Housewives00: (if you don’t want to know any more, I’d stop now and head over here instead)

So, this sounds like it should be a pretty good episode and moves some stuff along plot-wise. We get to meet a new girl Carlos is working with after he gets promoted, Bree gets Orson into therapy for his isses, Edie starts digging deeper into Dave’s past and Susan has to impress someone at work who is giving her an evaluation. This is, by the way, the Swoosie Kurtz guest spot I was telling y’all about earlier. By the way, the girl Carlos is now working with? He knows her from the past and Gabby’s gonna get jealous. Well, I guess that’s it for now. Stay tuned later for some sneak peaks and my reactions to em.

Good morning, everyone!! So, as everyone knows by now, Nicolette Sheridan is leaving the Lane. According to E!Online and Dana Delany, Monday was Nicolette’s last day of shooting on the series. Want some details? Check out the full story here. Beware of being spoiled, though!

Speaking of spoilers, is it just me or are some shows getting a little too loose-lipped about plot lines? You’d have to have been hiding over a cave on Mars to not have heard the news about Nicolette, which seems like a pretty big slip to me. Not only that, regular news sources have been posting what’s supposed to be happening to her character in very prominent ways. How times have changed, huh? I remember it wasn’t all that long ago that you had to find out what was going to happen on your favorite shows the old-fashioned way: by tuning in. Now, you can open up any site and get dish for episodes months in the future. Pretty strange to think about huh? I personally don’t mind spoilers, but I do mind how they’re flaunted so openly in the press now.

So what do you all think? Are you avoiding certain shows/publications so you don’t get spoiled or are you like me and scanning spoiler sites often these day? Let’s talk about it! Well, I guess that’s about it for now. I’ll see you all again tomorrow. I leave y’all with a pretty cool clip posted by excuseyou77. It’s a real blast from the past, featuring our very own Marc Cherry on a game show in the mid-80s. Enjoy!!

Good morning, everyone! So, how about that episode on Sunday? I have to say I think it was one of the more quotable ones. It also gave some great moments for one of my favorite actresses/characters.

Marcia Cross/Bree Hodge

I really don’t like where Orson is heading this year. Ever since the beginning of the season, he’s been a bit unreasonable. I get that his life kinda sucks right now but Tom was right. It was his fault and he needs to deal with it. A plot like this one might get pretty annoying fast, but the writing for Bree and Marcia’s portrayal of her makes this story. Especially the fact that, while she loves him and has given him a job to help him out, she’s still not totally babying the guy through his little crisis. He’s getting called out on what he needs to with the kind of polite bluntness only Bree can manage. Kudos to her and let’s hope that Bree continues to stand strong and doesn’t end up trying to make excuses for him. I especially loved the very last scene just before he steals her earring. Wait’ll Bree finds out about that one….

Speaking of Marcia, she’s got a little feature on the people magazine website where she talks a little about her daughters along with an absolutely adorable picture. Check it out. Well, that’s about it for next time. Be sure to comment on who you thought was best this week and I will see you next time.

Below are some of my favorite quotes from the new episode. Let me know yours in the comments! First, though, check out the new promo, thanks to CoolDHfan:

Tom: What happened to me is unfair. What happened to you is-
Orson: Justice?
Tom: Yeah.

Edie: Now, does this really mean ‘no gifts’, or is this like when Gabby says ‘no gifts’ when she really means ‘no cheap gifts’?

Edie (after watching Susan and Katherine talk about what Susan is bringing to the house warming): Whoa, whoa, whoa. What’s happening here? Why isn’t hair being pulled?
Susan: Why would we?
Edie: Let’s see… she’s shacking up with your ex, something that when I do it, I get an angry mob on my lawn.

Edie: Hey, Gabby- remember when I was with Carlos?
Gabby: Shut it, bitch.
Edie: See, that’s normal!

Lynette (to a buyer who conned em) : Congratulations, you just stole yourself a pizza oven.

Lynette (when Tom complains about the low prices they’re getting): Well, when you put out an ‘everything must go’ sign it kind of hurts our bargaining position.

Lynette (to the con artist): I think you better stop with the bargain hunting unless you want your face to match the oven and the dishwasher.

Gabby (when Sheila doesn’t clue in): Oh, for God Sake’s, you bleach blonde twit, I’m talking about you and Bradley!!

Gabby (when Sheila says Maria can’t be pregnant because they haven’t slept together in a year): Well, call the Vatican, cause we’re gonna need a manger and some hay.

Bruce (after getting Orson’s name wrong): Orlon, Orson- either way, he got beat up on the playground, am I right? (To tape recorder) Idea for a new children’s book. A kid gets beat up because he has a goofy name. Could be Orson.

Bruce (to tape recorder, after Orson talks about something he made): Idea for a novel: a woman is married to a gay man and doesn’t know it.

Orson: When I lost my practice, I lost people’s respect.
Bree: So you’re going to win it back with larceny.

Hello, everyone!! Sorry this is very late today. It got crazy and I only got to finish the episode now. It was a pretty decent one, though. Here’s what happened in case you missed it:

The Scavos are finally officially putting an end to the pizza place and are having a sale to get rid of all the appliances and other stuff. Unfortunately for them, people are being vultures and getting the stuff at rock bottom prices. So now the issue is what are they going to do from here. Bree helps by getting him a meeting with her publisher, who is looking for a marketing person. Tom ends up purposefully blowing the whole thing and helps Lynette blow it as well. Seems he’s not wanting to get back into that line of work, but Lynette does. They finally agree she’ll get a job because it’s her ‘turn’. Why they can’t both work, I don’t know.

Meanwhile, another man on Wysteria Lane is being a little childish too. Orson is very tired of people not showing him proper respect now that he’s not a dentist anymore. His solution? He decides to steal from anyone who offends him to punish them for it. Bree catches him stealing her publisher’s recorder and orders him to stop it now. She gives it back, making up an excuse about it getting wrapped up in a napkin at her dinner party. Later, she lectures Orson about it and repeats her order. He doesn’t like that so when she leaves, he makes one of her earrings disappear. Wait’ll Bree discovers that one…

Over at the Solis house, Gabby has been getting used as Bradley’s alibi when he goes to meet Sheila behind his wife’s back. Gabby isn’t liking this and actually goes to the hair salon Sheila works at to confront her about the whole thing. When Bradley finds out, he confronts Gabby and they fight, with Gabby refusing to be his cover anymore. Bradley tells her that Carlos can go looking for another job. I don’t think Carlos is gonna have to worry, though, as Bradley gets killed by Maria (his wife) after telling her about his affair.

Finally, there’s Edie. She and Dave run into a priest at what appears to be a liquor store (nice, huh?) who knows Dave. Dave sends Edie off to pick up something for him and tells the Priest to leave him alone because he’s doesn’t want to talk about the past anymore. Edie is watching from a distance and can hear some of what they say. This leads her to track the guy down and question him. The priest refuses to talk about Dave, but accidently gives her some info: he calls her Mrs. Dash. When Edie replies that the name is Williams, he apologizes and says that he shouldn’t have assumed she took her husband’s name. Edie is now looking up ‘Dave Dash’ online. Can’t wait to see how she reacts when she actually finds some info.

Well, that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all in the morning with some of my favorite quotes. I leave you with the promo for next week, thanks to Steveboy12. Enjoy!

Hello, again! It’s Friday and we’re actually getting a new episode this week! How about that, huh? To tide you over, let’s check out the preview for this one, thanks to Brent0788:

It’s looking like we’re gonna have quite the week. According to the episode description, Bree is gonna help Tom out by giving him a job and Gabby’s getting end up being the alibi for Carlos’ boss when he wants to step out. Also, Edie’s gonna start digging into Dave’s past. This will probably lead to her character being written out. If you wanna know more about what’s going to happen on the show, keep reading. If not, why not head over here instead? Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, maybe that was a bit over dramatic, but still…
I may have mentioned in a post a little bit back that my guy’s a huge Friday the 13th fan. So, when Valentine’s Day came around I took him to go see the brand new one and was surprised to see that Richard Burgi was in it. He’s not the only one from the cast who’s starred in one of these movies, though. Steven Culp was also in a Friday movie and I, unfortunately, just got to see it first hand. I thought I’d talk a little about it for people who haven’t seen it.

The movie is Jason Goes to Hell and is, in my opinion, the worst of the whole series. Basically, this movie took it from being a pretty reality-based series and brought in a bunch of mystical mumbo-jumbo about curses and how Jason can only be killed by a Voorhees and all this other weird stuff. Did I mention there’s apparently a little insect-like thing in Jason that is being transferred from character to character, making others Jason in the movie? Yeah, I’m scratching my head, too.

Steven plays a kinda creepy character who is an anchor on one of those news magazine shows, similar to Inside Edition. Word on the street is that the FBI managed to take out Jason for good, but he doesn’t believe it and he is making it some big mission to expose that he’s still alive and committing murders. He ends up getting possessed by Jason’s spirit and goes on a killing spree himself. Unfortunately, seeing him was about the most entertaining part of the whole experience. He does play a great jerk. As a Nightmare on Elm Street fan, I also liked how Freddy’s hand came up from underground and dragged Jason’s mask down. If you’re a big fan of Steven, I’d borrow the movie from a library or something and skip to any parts that feature him. Here’s a really brief clip of Steven being Jason. Be warned- it is a kill video. Take care and I’ll see y’all next time.

Good morning again. Only a few more days until a new episode! In the meantime, let’s dish about Kyle MacLachlan. Did you know he’s a huge golf fan? I didn’t realize that myself until I found a news story about this program he’s involved with called The First Tee of Yakima. It’s an organization based in Washington (where he’s from). He used to have a lot of fun as a kid playing the game and says it taught him many important lessons, something the program will do for other kids. It’s all about teaching kids about honesty, sportsmanship and other important lessons. They also have mentoring programs with some of the older kids. He was there to promote it as well as perform with the Yakima Symphony Orchestra. They were doing a performance of ‘Licolm Portrait’ and he was the narrator. He also worked with them on a performance of Henry V in 2007.

The First Tee is connected with the World Golf Foundation and is run by a retired golfer named Del Rankin. The two are good friends and it was Del that got Kyle involved in the program. You can read more about the program as well as get a link to it’s website by going here. So, what’s the verdict? Is golf fun or are you shaking your head trying to figure out it’s appeal (I have to admit, I fall into that category)? Comment and let me know. Take care and I’ll see you all again next time.

NOTE: Sorry about the delay today. I couldn’t log in to word press for some reason.

Hello, again. I just got an e-mail sent to me through the blog with some Eva news I want to share with you all. You may have heard me mention before about Eva being involved in PADRES Contra El Cancer. Well, just the other day, she was on hand to accept a big donation from AT&T for the charity. They raised $200,000 for PADRES by accepting donations from customers at their stores. They also encouraged people to use some of their cash back bonuses for the donations as well. This is the third year in a row that AT&T has helped the program.

PADRES is an organization that helps families with children suffering from childhood cancer by offering support and helping to improve their quality of life. It also offers them information about the disease, blood marrow drives and an ask the doctor program. They also help the kids by holding parties, fairs and other events so they can have a little fun and forget about being sick for a little while.

Eva is also going to be participating in ‘Stand For Hope’ on March 21st at the LA Memorial Coliseum. It’s a run/walk event to raise funds for the organization. There will also be entertainment, raffles and celebrities there. If you want to learn more about PADRES or participate in the Run/Walk, visit their website. You’ll also be able to see more pictures and video from the AT&T event.

Well, that’s it for now. Take care and I’ll see ya next time.

Since the next new episode is still a week away, I thought I’d share some more Q&A interviews posted online. It’s “Ask Desperate Housewives”. The first video is posted by desperate videos and features Marc and Felicity Huffman.

Don’t worry about spoilers, cause you’re not going to find any in this one. Basically, they’re just asking a lot of general question of them in this one. He introduces her as the ‟magnificent‟ Felicity Huffman. They talk about whether or not either of them feel jealousy about other plots, why Dr. Heller has not been identified yet, extending the show by two years as well as what goes into making the show each week. My favorite part is where Felicity is asked what she’d like to see happen with Lynette. She says she’s not that smart and admits that she has not thought about that at all- she just lets the writers do their thing.

This second video comes to us from wreckcentered and is an older Q&A with Marc (as always) and Kevin Rahm (Lee). This was, hands down, my favorite of the two videos. They talk about who Lee (and Kevin) fears most, whether or not March will make a cameo on the show and where Marc gets his ideas. He admits that he is not invited to parties very often because people are scared he’ll put their lives into the show. Kevin and Marc also talk about how Kevin managed to get cast on the show, which is my second favorite moment in the video. Well, that’s about it for now. Take care and see y’all next time.

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the delay. Check my other blog for an explanation as well as a couple cute spoofs if you’re a 24 fan. Anyway… I have a bit of news to share regarding Gale Harold. If you don’t wanna find out, go no further! Read the rest of this entry »
