Desperate Housewives

I've mentioned this somewhere before, in some thread about shoes in water or something.

ABC has this hit show, Desperate Housewives. It's interesting, with an intriguing storyline which is always evolving.

And it has a lot with high heels.

A woman jumping into a pool while in a nice pair of spiked heels and a fancy dress, another woman trying to teach a girl to ride a bike and struggling to keep up in some strappy stilettos, and tonight, a man having an extra marital visit to a neighbour and she asks him "boots or stilettos" and he asks her to wear the stilettos. Dorsay style, black leather, metal heels... and she walks on his back. Not shown, but implied.

If you haven't seen it, check it out.

They're about to air this show in the uk too.. it's got a fantastic advert with lots of heels too! Shows the scene of a paperboy cycling up the street past the different houses.

1 - a woman is doing gardening in great heels

2 - a woman is mowing the lawn, again in heels!

3 - a woman is putting up washing on the line, you guessed it, wearing heels and underwear this time!

4 - teri hatcher... in heels

Looks like this could be good,

very strange advert by the way!

Ahhh... DHW.... The quinessential drama surrounding reality as we would like it to be but it really isn't, except as provided for on TV...

There's a key word, here: GULLIBLE.

If you watch this crap and more like it, the rest goes without saying.

Life, including human life, is FAR more infinite than is imagined within the ranks of the corporate networks.

It's high time everyone reading this post take a walk on the wild side and sidle down to their local bar while wearing their heels and FIND OUT what you've been missing!

In a world where most Television isn't that great, this is a good one, and I'll explain why.

The whole idea was shaped by an episode of Oprah, and the idea of DHW is to show that these people with seemingly perfect lives who look perfect and are the envy of others are actually all messed up and having their own problems. Art imitating life is what the show is like.

It's nice entertainment, a bit sensationalized, maybe a lot at times, but...

To pass it off as another corporate cut trash show is just wrong. No one says people have to like it, but it shows something that actually happens in life that you're not going to see while being out and about in the world where people are putting on their acts. It shows people as being real, with problems.

I thought the show would be, well, shlocky or soap opera-ish, but it turns out to be well written and offering many angles to appeal to many viewers.

And believe me, there are many American women who match characters of this show quite well. They've been on TV, interviewed, and admitted to it.

Gee, I don't defend shows very much, but I guess this one has me won over.

But you can still hate it. Just don't ever say anything bad about Stargate. Ever. RDA gets better with time, if you ask me.

That is great a show about a bunch of women in high heels.

i've long given up on t.v as a source of good entertainment. i've also made a point to really ration the amount I see (which isn't much time). I'd rather surf here, or go to the movies (here usually wins)

I'm with Laurie on this one. DHW is a better cut show than most that I've seen (which isn't much, they tend to bore me)

The lines are more or less close to believeable... I've met folks with lives that run similar to the story lines. that is why it has such great appeal to the vast majority of it's fans.

I plain find it hilarious. I find the stuff these ladies do in heels to be comical. so, it's better entertainment that what i've seen on T.V in a while.

besides, there are ladies wearing heels all the time in the show, what can go wrong with that. at least one of our own was on the script writing team and insisted on heels being in the most impractical of places.... hence more fun to watch!!!!

anyway, this may be the only t.v anything i back up anywhere. so, to each his own. i like the thread (good one Laurie). now, to get other shows to have much more heeling, then they might get a bit more interesting. for now, DHW it is.
