thoughts on desperate housewives...

so, i have watched seasons one through three of desperate housewives consecutively over the past few months. some issues i had with the portrayal of characters on season two were more than accurately written about by none other than, jennifer l. pozner on her blog in 2006. you can read her article here: http://www.wimnonline.org/WIMNsVoicesBlog/?p=162 i am now seven episodes away from completing the third season and want to share some of my new found concerns. if you're not a dh fan, i apoligize in advance. anyway, in season two when andrew is all OOC or whatev, his conserv parents are primarily not down with the fact that he's gay. well, when he comes back from living on the streets and PROSTITUTING, bree is totally cool with him and all like, "OH ANDREW, YOU'RE SUCH AN ANGEL" (even though he fucking tried to blackmail her and destroy her life). but in order to regain his place in the family, he totally compromises his sexuality! like after he comes back, they NEVER talk about him being gay and his boyfriend is totally out of the picture, even though that dude was actually really good. this show plays into so many reagan family values/basic instinct kinda shit. like for example, nora, tom's baby mama is a threat to the perfect, idealistic scavo family and what happens to her?? SHE DIES! andrew can be gay, and give blow jobs for money but if he just becomes asexual and forgets about his attraction to men, justice will be restored on wisteria lane. although, i'm not sure what's gonna happen on the last several episodes, i do know that danielle is now the slut. can't wait to find out what happens to the illegitimate baby!! ps - there's a book called "reading desperate housewives: beyond the white picket fence" and i bet there's a chapter discussing this exact same thing. most likely written by pozner (fucking monopolizer) amazon customer review: "I bought this book as a fan of Desperate Housewives. It is, however, inappropriate for most fans. It is a collection of 17 essays on DH, primarily feminist writings. I slogged through three essays and gave up. They seem to be well-written, but they were just too academic and dry for me. The chapters are (1) Culture, (2) Sexual Politics, (3) Genre, Gender, and Cultural Myths, (4) Narrative, Confssion and Intimacy. All of these topics are of interest to me, but I still couldn't handle the writing style and content---just too dry and frankly, boring. If you are looking for very serious, academic writing, and are a DH fan, you could potentially enjoy this book." hahha is it bad that that review sounds really appealing to me? UPDATE: literally a few hours after writing this, andrew casually told lynette that he was "doing the soda delivery guy" for the pizza place her and her husband own. there goes my theory
