Sometimes I think Desperate Housewives portrays people accurately, with Tom and Lynette getting the “most like a real couple” award (except for last week’s scene at Bree and Orson’s dinner table).

(Season 5, Episode 3) “She could take down a small deer.” – Susan to Mike, talking about Juanita picking on M.J., and Mike saying he can’t teach his son to hit a girl Lynette’s ticking me off with her nagging wife thing! Why can’t Tom keep his mountain-climbing gear and other stuff in the garage? And […]
