The episodes are getting better. Hands down better than the whole entire 2nd season. I just wish they would close the Lynette story line. It's stupid and boring.

I did laugh at Susan and brit-guy's comparison of their histories in the bedroom (darn double standard).

Nora and Lynnette's subplot is plain tedious to me. There's nothing that's grabbing my attention relationship-wise, I'll leave the truck driver to do the other kind of grabin'.

Gabby-in-the-suitcase was something unexpected, and she's probably the only one in the cast of DH who could do it.

Bree in search of Andrew seemed too contrived at this point, and I was hoping Orson would tip something from his past to Andrew in their brief lunch.

I was wondering how long Mike was going to be coma boy for the season, but that got answered tonight.

Susan may be the most annoying character on television. Hopefully next season's big mystery revolves around who killer her.

I'll take Nora and Lynnette over more Susan anyday.

The Gabby story was great, the suitcase gag was funny and that dress

Andrew's return

actually I think this season sucks, it is so bad its like watching daytime soaps. Susan is a skank, Mike should dump her ass for good.

I'd bet a year's salary that Mike has amnesia.

I think last year was better. Unlike many, I didn't really see a problem with last season and it seemed the same as Season 1 to me. I like it when more characters are used. I want the Young kid to come back and start creating some turmoil now that he is loaded.

I'm liking this season so far - a little soapy, but more laughs than last year.
Personally, I could do without the Susan's daughter/hunky cousin of Edie subplot........

Um, folks? This show is "soapy" because it's a soap opera.

Next thing you know, this will turn in to a "Unit" thread, with everyone complaining "too much on the wives!".

Thank you.

I am enjoying this season - probably because I know it is, at its heart, a soap opera.

How about Gabby - she looks great even in a suitcase.

I guess I don't find it any more or less annoying than it has been since first season. Therefore, I've obviously grown a tolerance and doubt there would be much to stop me from watching.

Honestly, I laugh everytime they refer to Bree's daughter as "pretty".

No one else is bored this year? I just find all the storylines to be very un-interesting. I hardly ever drop shows once I've gotten into them over the years and have enjoyed the characters, but this show's fall from grace reminds me of Boston Public.

She's about 10X more attractive than Susan's seed.
