My DVR will get this for me as I will be spending time with my favorite Mafia family. If DH were better than it has been recently, I would be watching it live, but Sopranos gets priority.

I too will be sending this to the DVR. I will be watching those wiseguys on HBO and I will be sending the wife downstairs to watch housewives. I also agree with the quality of this show the first season I was actually looking forward to watching it, this season it just seems like Marc Cherry just left the show and they brought in an all new staff. I wouldn't be to upset if I didn't watch it, the wife still thinks its the greatest thing on tv tho

Agree!!

Thought this was the BEST episode yet this season!!!

Wasn't expecting Susan's storyline to be very much entertaining as it turned out.

The look on Felicia's face when Paul arrived was priceless!

I really liked this episode. Thought the writing was really sharp and funny! Reminded me of last season...So happy they didnt tidily wrap up Bree's drinking. Susan in the operating room was hysterical. I'm actually looking forward to next week!

At first I was wondering how common it is for alcoholics to become that way just from drinking wine. But then I realized that is probably where the term "wino" comes from.

Judging from the previews I can already tell next week is going to piss me off.

It's about time that Jon the Gardener's mom comes back and bites Gabby in the ass.

Next week's is a repeat, unfortunately.

But then we'll get at least 3 new ones in a row, according to epguides.com

Loved this episode, BTW.

Repeat of this past week's episode (March 12)? I hope so... about two minutes into last Sunday's broadcast the feed at my local ABC was cut and they went into live mode, talking about the weather (a 300' wide F-2 tornado went across town, including the ABC building - was kind of interesting watching the guy when it hit the building). But, to make a long story short, I missed the episode because it wasn't aired here.

It was kind of weird, where I was (about 4.5 miles south of where the tornado first hit town) there was no rain, no hail, and just a little wind. Heck of a light show in the sky to the north though.

I have to wonder what it'll take for Bree to hit rock bottom and actually try to become "recovering" instead of pretending to be?

That was a good episode, definitely one of the best of this entire season, if not the best. Of the four main characters, only Lynette's storyline was subpar. And the Applewhites and their weak storyline were missing altogether. (A coincidence that this was also such a good episode? I think not.)

You know, I didn't even notice the lack of an Applewhite's storyline until I saw your comment. They could never mention them again, and I wouldn't care one bit that it never gets tied up.

No, it's a repeat of the one where Gabrielle kisses Tom.

The Applewhites
Spoiler:
will be given "a big finale" at the end of this season, according to this recent article. Wonder if that means they won't be back next season?

I thought that this was a pretty good episode. I'll admit that I wanted to give this show up, but since my wife still wants to watch it, I have kept it up, and this was one of the better shows of the season.

Sounds like the episode will have some flashbacks. So we'll probably see Mary Alice and Rex, and maybe Mrs. Huber.

I'm really looking forward to the finale, and the upcoming episode with Carol Burnett.

Once again, Gabby & Carlos the only part of this show worth watching.

That's the only exception to what I said above. Great line.

Woo hoo! My local ABC station will air this episode this coming Saturday Night (10:35), followed by Gray's Anatomy! Both were not aired last week because they lost the network feed, those pesky tornados.
