HOUSEWIVES GOT GAME: Walt Disney Co.'s Buena Vista Games has announced its plans for a PC-based video game based on ABC's Desperate Housewives. The Sims-like title, slated for a fall release, lets players take on the role of a housewife who can either uncover or create scandals on Wisteria Lane. There is already talk of a cheat code to see Mrs. McCluskey naked. Sickos.

Shows We're Watching Tonight

Desperate Housewives[New]

9 pm/ET, ABC
When last we saw Bree ("I am an alcoholic") Van de Kamp, she was guzzling chardonnay from her closeted stash, no doubt to steel herself for more conflict with her uncloseted son. Tonight her life gets even more complicated when she meets a guy (Oz alum Lee Tergesen) who'll turn out to be as creepy in his way as George was in his. In other casting news, Eddie McClintock (Fred Savage's older brother on Crumbs) enters Gaby and Carlos's lives as they get desperate about adopting a kid. But not so desperate as to want an ugly kid. They do have their standards. — Paul Droesch

[Brent]

ROFL! Susan was hilarious in that wheelchair trying to get down the steps and the curb.



This episode is really good... one of the better ones lately.

[Brent]

New episode tomorrow. Gabby and Carlos' birth mother will go into labor, Edie(yes, she is BACK!!!) plans to throw a surprise wedding for Karl(remember, Susan and him are still married), Bree and AA Guy get closer and he's got yet another weird fetish(poor Bree ). Lynette is forced to testify about Bree passing out drunk and letting her kids run off at the emancipation hearing(finally not a workplace plot, it should be much better that she's interacting with a housewife too).

Where is everyone?

[GalvestonDuck]

Where is everyone?

Work...and still recuperating from the whole Ray/Neela thing on ER.

Oh fun, Bree with another strange fetish guy.

[Miss Mary]

I was busy half cleaning our garage. Had to run several loads of Goodwill items and recycling off and now I'm just not in the mood to finish. We'll do the rest tomorrow!

So that's where I've been. Dusty and dirty.......we did get out the deck furniture though. I'll be excited for a new DH this week.

Mary

[Brent]

I'm glad Lynette stood up for Bree. That's a true friendship(well and Andrew is an obvious liar).

Susan and Karl are going to get back together. Mark my words.

LOL at Gabby stealing the baby. Walking casually past the security and police, and then trying to get the car seat put together.

The next episode in 2 weeks looks strange. I think Lynette's kid is a little young to wanting to be looking at that, and what's the maid doing with the baby? I'll look at it closer after Grey's Anatomy is over.

[Miss Mary]

We're experiencing severe wx in the Ohio Valley tonight. A local Met broke into the last 10 minutes of DH and I missed pretty much everything after Edie opened the small wooden box with dentures. Can anyone give me a play by play after that? Thanks so much. Ironically he said, we'll get back to Desperate Housewives as soon as we can but we're expecting severe weather.....and then he blabbed on for a long time. Which of course he needs to but at the same time I knew I was missing the important last 5 to 10 minutes. Just glad this wasn't Lost!!!

Thanks again.

Mary

[Brent]

The dentures were Ms. Huber's... Felicia went on to reveal that it was Paul who killed her. He left the party after this and then we went to commerical.

Came back, Bree got really drunk at a restaurant and passed out, called AA Guy and he came to pick her up. Gabby and Carlos were getting ready to leave the hospital. The boyfriend was threatening to set himself on fire if the birth mother didn't tell who the father was, so she revealed it was his younger brother, then security came in and tackled him. Gabby and Carlos then sneak out with the baby calmly, got in the car, took the new car seat out, fumbled around with it for a minute to get it hooked up, and then took off.

[Miss Mary]

Thanks Brent. I appreciate the info. We did have the TV muted after that so some of what you added, I saw, for example the baby car seat scene. It was funny how Gabby figured it out in no time, while Carlos was having trouble.

Something tells me though, he'll be better at handling a crying baby than she will be.

I absolutely loved her reaction to Lynnette when she heard the mother was in labor - but the baby wasn't due for 4 weeks, we're not ready.....too funny!!!!

Mary

[Miss Mary]

Here's the DH TV Guide critique. Have to agree with the reviewer - Gabby and Carlos taking the baby - silly, straight out of a I Love Lucy skit. We're to believe that suddenly Gabby wants to be a mother so desperately (did I just use that word? LOL!), she still takes the kid? I don't care for this storyline. They haven't tried adopting that long to sink to such lows. But that's just my opinion.

Desperate Housewives

Tonight's episode was entitled "Everybody Says Don't," but the song title that came to mind during Lynette's deposition was "That's What Friends Are For." Definitely my favorite scene. How great that Lynette went to bat for her friend Bree, lying under oath because she knew Andrew was an even bigger liar. Best line was Lynette's, after Andrew's lawyer asked her, "Do I need to remind you about the potential consequences of perjury?" "No, you don't. In fact, I hate liars," she replied as she turned and glared at Andrew. Felicity Huffman just keeps showcasing exactly why she got all those acting nominations and awards. But the other person who deserves just as many accolades is Marcia Cross. Love her! I knew it was an act of desperation when she went to that bar and got drunk — anything to get the attention of her new conquest/recently former AA sponsor Peter, played by Lee Tergeson. Anyone who used to enjoy the WB show Popular remembers Diane Delano, the actress who plays Donna, Bree's new sponsor. Boy, do I miss seeing her on TV, so I hope she comes back. But getting back to Peter, the fact that he's also a member of Sex Addicts Anonymous just makes it even more interesting. I also enjoyed when Felicia caused Paul to leave the party after telling everyone, "You're in the company of a murderer," and even better were all the scenes given to the underused Nicollette Sheridan. How cool is it that Karl still loves Susan? I found the whole Gaby and Carlos surrogate-baby story line just silly and not in a good way. Come on — running out of the hospital, stealing the baby? We must wait two weeks until the next episode, and I have five words for you: Carol Burnett as Bree's stepmother. — Dave Anderson
