DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES spoiler - - - -
Yes, DR TPunk, I think Bree's plight is interesting and certainly dramatic. I just felt that first incident, with her passed out on her lawn and her son being typically mean to her, was played for laughs, and I just didn't find her predicament funny. Kids can be cruel to their parents (and Andrew has certainly measured up to that description in numerous ways over the last year and a half), but something about it just struck me as a cheap laugh about something deadly earnest.
But the show is called DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and I guess they need to keep the ladies in various stages of desperation to earn that title.
