The letdown

I get my laptop back. I'm excited to sit down and start blogging again then nothing. NOTHING. ABC gives me nothing to work with.

I wanted to like "Desperate Housewives" (Sun., 9:00), I really did. But the show needs to get rid of Angie Bolen already and move on with the story. The writers have obviously ran out of storylines for Susan and Mike. They have an ex-stripper living with them now. The only couple of interest is Bree and Orson, and even their scenes left me feeling guilty for chuckling at their banter about suicide.

"I forbid this! Do you hear me? You will not be killing yourself!" Bree exclaims. "... If I have to, I will be with you 24 hours a day!" Orson replies, "Well, being bored to death was not how I was planning to go, but we can try it your way." Morbid, I know.

I can usually count on a few laughs from the Scavos, but I'm tired of Tom and Lynette's my-wife-is-a-b#$&h schtick. The whole therapist thing was just time filler.

And do we even need to discuss "Brothers & Sisters" (Sun., 10:00)? This show is so predictable now. Phone conversation leads to dinner at the Walkers where a fight breaks out, thus setting up the plot for the episode. I thought I was watching "Brothers & Sisters", not "24". The best thing from this episode was watching Holly whore herself to get the upper hand on Ojai. Let's get it together writers!

CHANNEL SURFING
The Plavix commercial where the hospital gurney is following the unsuspecting man around is just downright creepy. But sadly, it was the most intriguing thing I saw tonight.
