Desperate Housewives

Desperate Housewives is a highly addictive show about suburban women who live normal lives just like we do. The women on Wisteria Lane are very close friends who have strong relationships that can not be broken. All of the women are married with children, and aspiring careers. The narrator of the show committed suicide on the first episode. Everyone in the neighborhood was shocked.
The show consist four main characters: Susan, Lynette, Bree, and Gabrielle. These characters make the show interesting and captivating. The drama that each family has is exciting. It is so realistic and keeps you wanting more. These women get together weekly to discuss their problems relationship wise, and the hardships of being a mother.
Gabrielle is a successful young women who is married to Carlos. She use to be a model before she met Carlos. He makes all the money, so Gabby does not have to work anymore. She did not want any children, but Carlos disagreed with her. He tampered with her birth control pills to get her pregnant but it did not work. Carlos got into trouble with the law and had to go to jail. He also lost most of his money, which forced Gabby to get a job. She was very disappointed by this. Finally, Carlos got out of jail and returned home. He could not get a job because of his criminal background.
In the new season of Desperate Housewives, Carlos and Gabby have two pretty little girls. Carlos was left blind after the hurricane, which was hard for Gabby to cope with. Now Carlos is a misuse at the local country club. He loves this job and makes just enough money to support his family. Gabby take care of the girls daily while Carlos works. At this time in Carlos’s life he is happy because he has the love of his family. Even though they are not rich, they have each other.
Family is what matters the most. We might think that we do not need them, but they are the ones that are always there for us no matter what. They always show us unconditional love. Every family does not act in this matter. They treat you as if you do not exist.
In one episode of Desperate Housewives, Bree pretended as if she was pregnant. She did this to cover up her teenage daughters’ pregnancy. She did not want everyone in Fairview to know the family’s’ secret. Bree also wanted to keep up her daughters reputation. Bree showed that she really cared about her daughter. She loves her with all of her heart. Most of our parents would not do anything like that for us. We would just have to deal with it. That is a blessing that her mother was there and able to do that for her. This show exhibits how some parents would do anything for their children.
Unlike Bree, Paul was a bad father to his son Zach. He was mourning the death of his wife Mary Alice and forgot all about his son. He was not there for his son emotionally when he needed him. Zach had to do for himself because his mother committed suicide and she was all he had. This was a very hard situation that both of them had to deal with. This tragedy event could have made them come together, but instead it made them fall apart. Paul ran away from home because he wanted to start a new life for himself. He felt so unwanted at home with his father. He had to make a change for the better. His father was left lonely and devastated. He wondered where his son could be, so he started to look for him. Paul could not find his son which left him sadden but he had no choice but to move on with his life.
Desperate Housewives is also a good example of unity. Four women always stick together no matter what. They always have fights among themselves but have the heart to forgive. Their friendship is one of a kind that can last a lifetime. It is amazing how so many women, with so many different attitudes, can have such a unique network.
This show is very fun and entertaining. It something that you will watch with your girlfriends on a Friday night . Desperate Housewives is a very adult and mature show and is not intended for the young people. It has some sexual explicit scenes and foul language. Unlike other shows, this show will have you at the edge of your seat. You will always want to know what is going to happen next. You will make sure you tune in for the next episode.
Each season is different. They always add new characters and more drama to make the show even juicier. That is one thing I like about the show. You never expect the same old thing. You may think know what is going to happen next, but there is always a twist somewhere. You have to be very good at solving mysteries to know what is going to happen next. It is easy for you to forget what is happening because it is so many things happening at one time.
This show is the ultimate women soap opera that will be talked about for years to come. Desperate Housewives should win Emmy’s and other awards for its success. It is recognized all over the nation and deserves the credit.
