These characters are well written, well formed... all of their quirks are sooo REAL!! To find this much humor in what could be quiet lives is so much fun!
Bree- Marcia Cross she is so funny and a wee bit scary due to her chilly obsessive nature.. she has warmed and drawn us to a character that could have been irritating. I keep thinking that the psychologist WANTS her.
Susan- Terri Hatcher ....clumsy, accident prone, kind Susan.. missed the ''plumber' this week!
Gabriel- Eva Longoriawicked, needy, selfish... but for some reason we cheer for her. Her mother in law is a piece of work.
Lyn-Felicity Huffman (my favorite actress on this show filled to the brim with talented people) I venture to say that most moms who watch this show identify with Lyn. I cheered when she talked back to the head of the school play.. oh ya, we have all run across this woman! LOL! YOU GO LYN!!
The secondary characters on the show show great promise. We WANT to get to know these people and how they relate to the main characters.
Even the nosey neighbor.. I have named her Mrs. Cravitz ala Bewitched! She is a kick in the pants!
The men on the show are not the centerpiece... but they are intertwined in each story. The children are also not the centerpiece... but again are integral parts of the storyline.
Tonight, my DH and my DS-17 watched the show.. they have been quietly coming in for a little bit more of the show each week.
They LOL many times tonight! YAY
As for Desperate Housewives.... ABC you got me hooked!
