(since it is based around and narrated by the voice of Mary Alice who died in the first show. )(I know this is stretching it...just trying to understand the meaning of these terms still)

  1. I have never wanted to watch the show. Just another show that jiggles to make the masses numb. not my style dear


  2. i really dont know denie, ive never really watched the show before....

  3. The setting of the show is the street of Wisteria Lane in the fictional American town of Fairview. It follows the lives of a group of women, seen through the eyes of their dead neighbor, as they work through domestic struggles and family life, while facing the secrets, crimes and mysteries hidden behind the doors of their – at the surface – beautiful suburban neighborhood.As later told by series creator Marc Cherry, the idea of the series was born as he and his mom were watching a news report on Andrea Yates, a mother of five, convicted for drowning her children. While Cherry himself was incapable of understanding what would cause someone to kill their own children, Cherry's mother told him "I've been there". The thought that "a perfectly sane, rational woman could have the life she wanted, being a wife and mother ... and still have moments of insanity" had Cherry's imagination starting, and eventually he had formed an idea of a possible television show, naming it Desperate Housewives.In death, Mary Alice sees things she would not have seen in life: her friends' vulnerabilities, lies and secrets. She doesn't judge them so much as love them more because of their foibles, pitying them for the ways they manipulate and hurt those they care about most. Perhaps because Mary Alice represents a part of them, the women decide to get to the bottom of her suicide

    (however,that is a soap opera, -; don't think it has to do nothing with the paranormal,)

  4. I think they're dealing with the fictional, as in, it's just a TV show, get over it.

  5. and have you notice how seldom this plot has been used??????????? it's all about the drama of the "desperation" of white  upper middle class suburban women living in crime free ( murder exception noted) nehgborhoods, who can have any guy they want and are heads of their house and get their way.  after we figure out who killed Mary can someone please tell me what these women have to be desperate about???

  6. This could be seen as a new literary person: the supernatural first person omniscient.

  7. Oh Denie,say it ain't so!!!!
