Pam,
I have to say I agree - the last thing the world needs is another show that exploits housewives. And until I read reviews of the show, I had no intention to watch.
That said, I think the title is a little misleading. Other than Mary Alice, they don't seem desperate at all (ok, maybe Bree too). They're not desperate - they're just trying to live day-to-day.
As someone who comes from a broken home, the scene last night with Susan's ex-husband struck extremely close to home for me. But in a very funny way. This show just keeps getting better.
And I really want to know what the tie-in is between Mike and the trunk.
