I'm thinking about jumping in and seeing what this is all about. I never watched an episode last season. Should I just start tonight or rent the DVDs of the first season?

Oops, I guess I was wrong about the familial link of the Applewhites, but they appear to have someone in the basement who's chained up, that seems strange, even for Wisteria Lane.

Now that I reflect upon it, I hope Marc Cherry has something interesting up his sleeve for the basement deal, because once a quirky show gets too weird, it can crash and burn pretty fast. I loved the ep. for the most part, but got a negative vibe from the end. My fear is that after all the accolades(sp.?) the first season got, the powers that be will give Cherry too much leadway and allow him to go hogwild with ideas that might be best left in his head. But who knows?

I just watched the entire first season this past week in preparation for season two. My wife got me onto this show and I got her onto Lost. It's been fun watching both shows first seasons the past couple weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing how this season goes because the first season was very enjoyable.

I too am a little leery of whoever is chained in the basement. It could easily become a parody of what made the show successful. I wonder if this will be the main secret for the season, like Mary-Alice's suicide. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Funniest part was how Lynette assured her interviewer that four kids would not hamper her work in any way, and then showed up at the second interview with a baby. Then she tore into the poor receptionist for putting the baby down on the desk.

Well I guess that open-casket puts aside any of the rumors that Rex isn't really dead.
I remember after the finale last season, many thought maybe the dotor who called Bree was lying, since they never showed Rex actually die.

Excellent episode. That tie-change should go down as a classic unforgettable TV moment. Marcia Cross/Bree was fantastic is this one.
Loved Gabby acquisition of the DNA test. We also need more Gabby-in-towell scenes.
I like how they wrapped the S1 mystery up and are basically starting fresh.

Pretty enjoyable episode, although I don't think that the Applewhites are lovers; the son was eyeing up Bree's daughter pretty good when they were at the house welcoming them to the neighborhood. Surprisingly, Bree didn't mention needing the basket back -- she MUST have been distraught!
Hopefully, the thing in the basement won't be looked back on as the moment this show jumped the shark. Time will tell.
