desperate housewives: everybody ought to have a maid [s6e05]

By ryan rutledge, the guy who loves tv on October 25th, 2009

first of all, i would have never expected that julie would be having the affair with the creepy gangster dad. i only call him gangster dad since his wife on the show is drea de matteo and she was on the sopranos previously. the guy is creepy and nobody dates creepy guys. it’s a rule! i need this character to be killed and written off the show. he was creepy on dirt and he’s creepy on this show, that means he’s just a creepy guy.

one thing that bothers me about this show is that i feel like it’s the same plotline either extended longer and longer or slightly tweaked and applied to another character. it’s the same thing over and over. i remember when this show was amazing and it was must-see tv on sunday. now i’m not so sure it is anymore.

If you haven’t already seen this episode (or want to watch it again), check out Hulu or ABC for access to full episodes of this show.

THE SUMMARY: mike and susan get married. katherine has a hard time getting over mike. a new family moves into the neighborhood.

THE AWESOMENESS VERDICT: 7 out of 10 stars. still a decent show after five years but it’s been lacking that huge shock factor for the past two or three seasons.

THE COMMENTARY: a surprise right off the start … susan and mike getting married.

i can’t remember if i’m correct but i feel like i remember reading this would be the last season of the show? or the next to last?

ten minutes in and i already don’t like the new neighbors. what are they from new jersey or something? because they have an attitude as though they are. hmmm now only to find out what their secret is.

i also don’t like that lynette is pregnant again. not a very exciting storyline and not entirely unexpected.

i love bree for her martha stewart desire for everything to be amazing. even if it is the sheets she is going to have an affair on.

ew the back on the new neighbor is gross.
