Desperate Housewives -- "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" -- 1/10/10

Desperate Housewives

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Susan hits upon stripping as a way to dial up the heat for Mike; Bree learns how difficult it will be to undo the pain that she has caused Orson; Lynette discovers what Tom's really up to; and Gaby is forced to come to terms with her ethnic heritage.


Susan stripping...

So did the writers forget that Karl had a new wife and child? Wasn't that only in one episode last season when Susan was teaching at the kid's school? But they weren't at the will reading?

I know I'm not an expert on strippers, but that was one unsexy stripping routine! Ugh, she was awful.

Also, I am really getting tired of Lynette castrating Tom. Please have him leave her.

Apparently 60" plasmas are still all the rage in 5 years. Sorry guys, all new display technologies suck.

Yup, that emotional moment felt so forced and hollow. Although their kid not knowing they were Mexican was actually funny.

I could be wrong but wasn't that during the lamaze classes when Susan was pregnant with MJ? I'm not even sure they were married yet. If I'm right that would have been 5+ years ago from when this episode takes place. In any case, I'm not sure they call you for a reading of the will unless you're mentioned in it (except on TV when they show people getting annoyed that they were screwed out of any inheritance).

A lot of stupid people doing and saying stupid things.
Also Brenda Strong's dialgue and delivery gets worse by each episode. It's damn near intolerable.

I'm out when this season ends.

It's still doing really well. It gets around 13-15M viewers a week and is doing really well in the 18-49 demos.

Lynette/Tom being jealous of each others careers. That's a new one.
