What I'm Watching: Desperate Housewives

Desperate Housewives: Season 4, Episode 6 "Now I Know, Don't Be Scared" (C)

This is one episode that starts off just as dismally as the past few, but almost comes through in the end. The gay couple act as if they are simply there to make trouble, purposely mentioning how everyone hates them and trying to offend people. I certainly do not mind the addition of some gay characters to the show, but there is no need to harp on just how much people might not like them; instead, let them develop a bit first. This episode really proves that the men are fairly useless on this show, which was so not the case. Carlos, Mike, and Tom are really dumb and are hardly saved by costume-coordinators Orson and Adam. Slightly funny delivery scene with Frankenstein holding the baby (if of course they had not shown it in the preview). The best acting I have seen on this season of the show comes from Marcia Cross talking to her daughter about the baby. I am glad that Lynette's cancer is gone so that she can go back to smiling every few episodes. And I have an inkling that Victor is not going to kill Carlos because he realizes how much he loves Gabrielle...but I could be wrong.
