What I'm Watching: Desperate Housewives

Desperate Housewives: Season 5, Episode 6 "There's Always a Woman" (C)

This feels familiar. Andrew sleeping with Lee Tergesen's character, a.k.a. Bree's one-time lover, and Edie's nephew sleeping with Katherine. Children have constantly been mistaken for adults, and I see no reason why one of the Scavo twins should possibly end up sleeping with Gail O'Grady's character. I have to imagine that Lynette would at least confront Tom rather than simply throwing in the towel and packing her life up. Susan's shower scene is additional proof that walking in on someone in the shower is never a good idea. Though she is a klutz, she should be smart enough to know that. The comedy keeps getting dumber and dumber. I'm thrilled that the talent is growing, however, with new guest stars Frances Conroy and Lily Tomlin. Tomlin seems like she'll have the meatier role, especially as Karen McCluskey's sister. As an avid "Six Feet Under" fan, I do hope that Conroy's role becomes a recurring one and her part improves a bit.
