http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/29/DESPERATE-HOUSEWIVES----If-Theres-Anything-I-Cant-Stand.aspx Every now and then, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES delivers a rough episode.  These are not bad episodes so much as they are uneven in tone and content.  On a show famous for its flawless aesthetic and clever way of telling stories that all fit a single overarching theme, episodes like these stick out like a sore thumb.  And let me tell you, Sunday's offering - about pests - was definitely one of these episodes. That’s not to say a lot didn’t happen, though.  First off, we were introduced to Bob and Lee, Wisteria’s brand new gay neighbors.  While introducing herself, Susan makes so many faux pas it’s almost unbelievable.  She tells Lee that she “gets” the whole gay thing because “I watch a lot of cable.”  I loved watching Lee become so turned off by Susan’s demeanor and repeated attempts at making them like her.  How refreshing that someone finally let her know that her “adorable klutz” shtick is, in fact, not adorable.  Even though I can already see the new couple fleeing town by midseason, I hope Bob and Lee stick around for a little while as the voices of reason on Wisteria Lane. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/29/DESPERATE-HOUSEWIVES----If-Theres-Anything-I-Cant-Stand.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/29/DESPERATE-HOUSEWIVES----If-Theres-Anything-I-Cant-Stand.aspx#1925 they just keep getting better WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/29/DESPERATE-HOUSEWIVES----If-Theres-Anything-I-Cant-Stand.aspx#1925 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:00:24 GMT
