I liked the episode with Beau Bridges as the handyman, but it was a little odd too. It is odd that he was their handyman all these years and they were all so close, but we had never seen him or even heard him mentioned before. I remember Mike being the neighborhood plumber when he moved in; there was no mention of Bridge's character then.

^ That is strange, but many shows try to sneak in a character and pretend they've been there all along. They've done that on Lost, for example. Most of the time it doesn't go over too well with the fans either. lol! I liked Beau Bridges character on Desperate Housewives, it's too bad they killed him off.
