Desperate Housewives Episode 2 "Ah, But Underneath"

[vashti1999]

So far, I think the Christian neighbor knows about the fire. Since she's always borrowing other people's appliances, she probably borrowed that measuring cup before and knows who it belongs to.

[vashti1999]

Another good, fun episode even though it was predictable in spots. You knew the three boys wouldn't be there when the mother drove back around to get them (I don't remember the characters names). But it was definitely an enjoyable episode. The is probably my favorite of all the mew series I've sampled this fall.

[Dragonflies]

It was a great episode, yeah when she started to go back for the boys, I was thinking "they're not gonna be there"

It's my fav. new show of the season :D

I'm starting to think the woman who killed her self(can't think of her name) might have had an affair or something. Hmm makes you wonder if there might be the body of a child in that trunk her husband threw in the river

That was my guess too!!

Once again, I had a great time watching. Yeah, I wasn't expecting her three boys to be there when she got back.. And poor Susan with Edie. That was my favorite part of the show. Not to mention Bree at the therapist's office with her husband, the way she kept focusing on his loose button. This is getting better and better. :lol:

This show is so addictive. I'm dying to find out what happens next. Did anyone else see promos for Good Morning America and Oprah during the show? On GMA tomorrow, they go to the 'real' Wysteria Lane, should be interesting. And on this coming Friday's Oprah, the cast of DH will be on together for an entire hour!!

[IheartMoonlighting]

I love this show. Where's the board???? We need a Desperate Housewives board.

[Pavan]

Last night DH had a 12.2/19 fast national Nielsen rating, 14.9/21 in the overnights, average of 20.29 million viewers (much more viewers probably who tuned in for some of it) and an 8.7/21 among adults 18-49 at 9 p.m., declining by only 10 percent in the overnights (16.6/23 to 14.9/21), 1.35 million viewers (21.64 to 20.29 million) and 2 percent among adults 18-49 (8.9/21 to 8.7/21) from last week's series opener. It was by far the highest rated show last night.

I thought last night's episode was great and on almost the same level as the pilot. I'm totally loving Mrs. Huber - she had some of the best lines in the episode.

[twinkle44301]

I also loved this show. I am anxious to see what's in the trunk. It's also interesting how they have a dead woman as narrator.

BTW, I'm 48, and I love this show. So do my friends. We all know women just like the ones portrayed on this show. It's hysterical and I can't wait for next Sunday! This show dominates our conversations where ever we are.

Yet another GREAT episode! I thought it was hilarious when John (the Solis' gardener) was standing outside the window without any pants on. I'm surprised Mrs. Huber didn't see him!

I LOOOOVED the Susan/Mike/Edie/Julie scenes. I feel so bad for Susan with each episode. Definitly a likeable character!

The Van de Kamp's therapy was great! I think Bree stuck her claws into Dr. Goldfine when she fixed his button, hence why he started picking on Rex at the third meeting.

But I love this show and I hope it stays on forever!

The possibility that it might be a kid in that box did not occur to me at first, but looking back it does make sense. There were a number of painted animals on the side of it.

[Van_Smack]

Wow. I"m intrigued -- just watched epi 2 on Tivo last night and am addicted. It might be a child's body, but it also might be belongings, files, etc about somebody? Body is more likely, but it also looked awfully light when the husband picked it up.

Did anyone catch scenes for the next episode? Tivo cut it off! I'm loving this show dammit....

[twinkle44301]

I don't know why (and I'm probably wrong), but I don't think it's a body of a baby. Of course it could be her mother-in-law (folded up like an old lawn chair) in the box. :)

Hmmm I don't know, I've had this nagging feeling telling me it's a body. The note that Mary Alice(I think that's her name) got the day she committed suicide said "I know what you did, it makes me sick" so it had to be something terrible enough that she couldn't live with anymore

I have no clue what she did.... but I think the crazy neighbor (who was helping the slut gather clothes, and found the measuring cup) is the woman that wrote the note.

OOH I never thought of that, I could totally see her doing that. She's so nosy, I wouldn't be surprised if she knew all the skeletons everyone had in their closets.

Ohhhh...I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if this will tie in with the hunky neighbor guy (can't remember his name).

I wonder why the hubby dug it up in the first place? Unless someone saw them put the box in the ground prior to the pool going in, and then he had to move it once the note appeared. I just think it's a red herring. There may be something in the box, but I think the note and the contents of the box may not be about the same thing.

I also wonder what hunka-hunka-burning-love (the cutie neighor guy) is up to. Who's under his surveillance? I can't figure out if he is a good guy or a bad guy.

I think he's an undercover cop who found the note, and has to stay around to see what it means.

[twinkle44301]

ahhh...Interesting. I hope he's a good guy.

I haven't been this excited about a new show for eons. I hope that's not a bad sign. Hubby and I seem to be the kiss of death to shows and restaurants. We like them, and they are history...but I think this one will be around for a long time....

"Pretty Little Picture"
The women decide to go ahead with the big dinner party the late Mary Alice had planned to host, despite the more-than-minor disturbances in their own lives, as adulterous Gabrielle finds herself with a nine-year-old blackmailer (guest star Ashley Bukowki), Bree struggles to keep her crumbling marriage a secret and Susan bares all -- in more ways than one -- as she confronts her ex (guest star Richard Burgi).
Richard Burgi is best know for his starring role on The Sentinel

I think it's probably a body, but for some reason I hope not. I think husband was scared there would be an inquiry on why Mary Alice committed suicide, so he panicked and moved it. I think Mike Delfino is in town to investigate whoever's body is now floating in the river...but then again there will probably be twist I hadn't even imagined. I wasn't sure this show would live up to its hype but it totally did -- looking fwd to sunday already ....
