Movie Connections:

Spoofs "Twin Peaks: (#1.7)" (1990)

a new mystery occurs in the life of the 4 housewives that try to live the American dream...

nice comeback! the series at the second season focused more on the dramatic part thus being more of a drama series than a combination of drama and comedy which was what the series was famous for...this episode though has the good old desperate housewives spirit.The plot appears to be much faster and the characters seem again to have a certain depth. Although for some reason everybody rejects the show, i think that people just like giving fame on something and then taking it away! Don't hear what people around you say just do what u want, i know i do, and i most certainly not regret not giving up on the show...please keep in mind that i am not a fan of desperate housewives thus i am not just saying what i just said...keep watching!
