http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/16/DESPERATE-HOUSEWIVES----The-Game.aspx Last week, I griped about how the ladies of Wisteria Lane could be fully dressed in expensive clothes and enjoying their morning cups of coffee together on the sidewalk before the morning paper had even arrived.  This week, we watch as Susan, Lynette, Gaby and Bree go through their morning rituals - working out, getting dressed, strapping on a fake pregnancy bump - all while speaking on the phone.  It's good to have friends, but these women are flatout codependent. The subject of their morning phone call was Susan's annual cherades party, a get-together so disliked and unwanted that none of the women skip a beat in making up an excuse to miss it.  Until Lynette realizes that a group bonding session, complete with free-flowing wine, might be the best way to uncork new neighbor Katherine's dark secrets.  That is, why does her daughter remember nothing of her childhood and why did Katherine slap the girl for inquiring? Meanwhile Susan decided to take a trip to an obstetrician suggested by Bree.  Only thing is, Bree's not pregnant so the doctor whose information she gave Susan was one she randomly selected in the phone book.  As you can imagine, this resulted in a very uncomfortable visit to the most shady doctor's office ever.  It looked like the waiting room to an inner city brothel.  Susan stuck it out though because if Bree suggested it, it must be good.  Well, it wasn't and she came home highly suspicious that her doctor took camera phone pictures of her... well, lets move on. 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/2007/10/16/DESPERATE-HOUSEWIVES----The-Game.aspx 77 60
