Desperate housewives/Brothers and Sisters fans

Hey Mary Lou,

I don't like the five yr jump at all, I have only been half watching and half not, while doing other things..I'm hping this is all a dream of one of the ladies...Kind of  like the Dallas thing. Maybe it will only last a few episodes..Brothers and Sisters seems like it is moving in a better direction this season...How many kids is William going to have by the end of the season???? I could do without all of the yelling over each other, every show, but I guess that is what makes it seem like a real family..LOL ...Still looking for the really good show to watch this season. I'll just have to stick to Two and a Half Men, I love that show, not too much to think about, just enjoy a good laugh.. Klynn

Hey ML, I don't know if I am a fan of the jump-I think that Tom and Lynette's twins are kinda dorky and rather annoying. 

I also don't like the Susan and Mike splitting up thing. 

I'm fascinated with Gabrielle's storyline, think her giant Princess daughter is hilarious, and thought the "bully" storyline was funny. 

I'm also fascinated with Edie's new hubby-I wanna know what's up with him. 

I am intrigued by the new Brie/Orson storyline, how his "control-freak" is starting to surface again (isn't that how he was before he met Brie?"). 

I'm ashamed to say I never watched "Brothers and Sisters," although I was just telling Greg that I wish I did.  Kinda like Dancing With The Stars-I would love that show, but it's just not on at a good time for us. 

I love brothers and sisters. Though I'd rather watch Cold Case beforehand (if it was ever shown on time because of late running football games), I've been watching housewives/

Which brother or sister do you guys best identify with.\?

Which desperate housewife or husband?

Fo bros and sisters I identify with Rebecca and for housewives--- I used to think Susan until this year. Now not so sure.

 her name is Karen... I can't remember her last name. I love her. did you know lily tomlin will be playing her sister in an upcoming episode, which is interesting because lily replaced the same actress who was president Bartlett's secretary in the west wing~ I love lily!

McClusky, I couldn't think of it. Thanks whoop!

Just saw this thread Mary Lou, thanks!! I love both shows!! Esp. brothers & sisters. Not too fond of DH 5 year leap either. I was sick last night, and I missed both shows!! I will have to play catch up! I am not sure why Catherine's daughter is not on the show this season.

This will be fun to talk about the shows from week to week. Do you think they will go back and fill us in on the last 5 yrs? I just can't get into Gabby the way they have her now! I used to love to watch, just to see how incredible she looked!

Thanks again..

We definitely agree with you on the Bree sotry.  I think the Edie and Dave story will really start to come through next week based upon what I could surmise from the previews of next week's show.  I love Gabby's story and I now can see how they will get back on track although I wish Carlos would get his sight back soon.  That's gotta happen, right?

Oh, I know-he was in a very serious accident!  Is he okay now? 

I kinda like Carlos's storyline with the blindness.  Gabby is making some great one-liners on that (You're so lucky, blind sex is the BEST!).  I cracked up when he was talking about how there was no Santa and mistakenly said it in front of Juanita's little friend. Hilarious stuff! 

Susan's storyline is just crap this season.  Yuck. 

Brie's story is just kinda dorky this season, and I feel like they keep missing some good potential (the sex on the table story, having Andrew beat up the kid who stole the tape).  I just hate Orson this season, and don't understand why she is so passive about his insanity. 

Ahhhh....insanity.....the Dave story is GOOD!  I am coming back each week for that one alone! 

EDIT TO ADD: I think that Porter's storyline is just insanely dumb right now, and where the heck are the rest of Tom and Lynette's kids?!?!  The other kids from the show, too?! (Julie, Susan's daughter?).
