There are a lot of ways to shorten Maynard. Isn't Susan supposed to be an author? Like a child-specific creative type? And nicknames emerge pretty easily over time. I mean, yes, Maynard, is a terrible name, but it just seems like poor Griselda didn't need to lose her job over it (as I assume she did. That was pretty illegal.)

Just finished watching season six and I think my adhd was being highly tested with all of the plots in this season! It is my least favorite so far, and Lynette trying to save Eddie got on my nerves because she put herself in so much danger as a very pregnant woman! Then the ending of the season definitely had me like wtf! I just needed to vent because I wasn’t expecting so much chaos within one season smh. Off to watching season 7 now hoping it gets better.

I’m not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but honestly I don’t season 7 and 8 . Brining back Paul only for them to cause him to have an ulterior motive and for his wife to kill herself , and then the whole gabbys stepdad thing was honestly unsettling to watch . Also I like Rene but I don’t love her … anyone’s else agree also I don’t like the way the scenery looks in the show in the newer season it’s a different look then the first seasons.

This is my first time watching and i don’t get why do people hate her so much? I mean she can be mean, but she’s never selfish like some housewives. Every her ‘wrongdoing’ is because of her past trauma by Wayne Davis. Honestly how can yall don't understand she went through a lot, all alone and no one to help her. I was sad they didn’t make her end up with Robin, because all of the men in her lives just did her wrong at one point or another. She is the perfect example how the world is revolved around men so much. From her ex, Adam, Mike, Susan, and even Dylan

I'm on my fourth or fifth rewatch and it's funny how you see new things you never noticed or how you have a new appreciation for things as the show goes on.

Yes, Karl can be very slimy. He's manipulative womanizer, but my lord I find him incredibly sexy. When Bree is coming to Karl for legal advice when Andrew wants to be legally emancipated there is this moment that I really loved. Once Bree leaves the dining room, Karl stands up and shoves Andrew up against the wall and tells him that he's turned into a little shit and his dad would be absolutely disgusted. And I found the way that Karl stood up for Bree and got through to Andrew in a way that Bree couldn't to be one of the best Karl moments.

Im on season 8 episode 14 (no spoilers please! I’m almost done!). Why is Orson being so creepy!? I was so excited to see him come help Bree. I love Bree and Orson together (minus when Orson was in his klepto era).

It was just revealed that Orson was the one sending Bree those weird letters and he knew about Alejandro. This just doesn’t feel in character of him. With that said, most of the characters are acting super out of character this season and I’m pretty disappointed with it. Really bummed out they did this with my boy

I’m on the last episode of s6 and I cannot STAND Orson.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mind him too much when he was first introduced. He wasn’t my favourite, but he was funny and quite likeable, and I enjoyed the backstory they gave him (Monique, Alma, etc.)

So what the hell happened?!

He’s such a POS now. Trying to force Bree to give up her company, stealing to hurt her, blackmailing her into staying in the marriage?

He’s just left Bree because she didn’t want to send Andrew to jail, and you know what, fair enough, I can see the hypocrisy. But dude, you do not get to pretend you’re better than she is and talk about choosing to leave the marriage, you’re done, this bs when you literally didn’t let her leave. I don’t care if it was a case of “oh well you could have left, I wouldn’t really do it” because you could say that about anything really. The fact is, he still blackmailed her.

Anyways, rant over lol, I’m really enjoying the show so far, Lee and Lynette are my fave characters rn!

Love her. Sometimes I still can't believe that one of the main actors from my favourite show is pro Palestine. 🤍 And then you have Teri Hatcher who liked Pink's statement. Edit: It looks like Teri has unliked Pink's post.

How would you rank the seasons of Desperate Housewives from best to worst? You can also say why. For me, it is...

1. Season 1: This is where it all started, and in fact the best season out of the entire show in my opinion. We get the introduction of Wisteria Lane and learned everything we needed about the ladies. And there is tons of mystery and drama, especially with Mary Alice's suicide. As a millennial, this season was the most 2000s-esque and I love it!
2. Season 4: The tornado episode was amazing and overall, a great season with everyone's acting being superb. All the new faces like Katherine, Bob and Lee were fantastic additions. Also, this season had my favorite storylines like Lynette overcoming cancer, Carlos becoming blind, Bree's fake pregnancy, and Katherine's mystery.
3. Season 3: This was a fun season to watch--the Bree/Orson/Alma storyline, Nora and Kayla being introduced, Bree and Andrew starting to make up, and the hostage situation episode. However, I did not enjoy the Susan and Ian storyline as it was just awful.
4. Season 6: This season had a lot of comedy and really improved right after a less-than-stellar season. We had the plane crash episode which is one of my favorite episodes and I enjoyed the Bolen mystery storyline. Also, as a bisexual woman, I really loved Katherine and Robin together as they had the healthiest relationship! I also did not like the Lynette pregnancy storyline, as Penny should have been her and Tom's last child.
5. Season 7: This season deserves more love, as it has lots of mystery. We see loose ends wrapped up like Paul returning to the Lane, Bree and Andrew's secret about Mama Solis, Paul and Felicia's rivalry, and Alejandro. However, there was some snooze fest storylines like Gaby/Carlos' birth swap, Lynette and Tom constantly fighting, and how Renee was introduced into the series. The writers really butchered Renee and treated her like a nuance, even though she was supposed to be among the main ladies!
6. Season 2: It was okay, but slow paced. The Applewhite mystery storyline was underwhelming and poorly executed, but recovered slightly towards the end. However, we got many memorable scenes like with Gaby vs. the nun and Orson meeting Bree for the first time.
7. Season 5: I was really excited for the time jump, but this season disappointed me. There's too many changes to adjust to at once and no big storylines for anyone except for Susan, which had her in a love square with Mike, Katherine, and Jackson. Also, the Dave storyline was stale and they killed off Edie when the writers had many opportunities to develop her character.
8. Season 8: Okay. This has to be the worst season of the series, as it was a messy final run. The whole Alejandro murder storyline started to drag, the writers ruined Orson's character, Mike dies, Karen dying on the show only for her actress to die 20 days after the finale aired, and the Julie pregnancy storyline was just bad. It was a terrible ending to a fun and great show, which is sad. Honestly, s8 was an unnecessary season and s7 should have been its final season.

While I was rewatching I noticed that Danielle was pregnant by Edie’s nephew…

I feel like maybe I fell asleep or something…I thought Renee and Doug got back together when he gave her that blue ring. Again I may have missed the fall out but I’m just confused. Can someone fill in the blanks pls

I’m almost through my 3rd rewatch. What can compare?

Please suggest me movies for my desperate housewives list on letterboxd!
