marlyly Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I always find DVDs a waste of money because I'll watch them once and never really look at them again (doesn't stop me buying em though!) but I wouldn't think that CH4 would show DH again from the very beginning, so maybe it would be your best bet to buy it. It's one of my favourite TV programmes, very funny when you get to know the characters, and surprisinlgy clever at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 So what did you think. Good, bad, indifferent. I thought it was quite good. Lots of new stuff happening. Can't get used to Lynettes boys being 16 though!! And Edies new man....what is gonna be going on with him. Good old Mrs McClusky ...she hasn't changed...lol. Still prefer Susan's Mike to that painter guy she was snogging!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm several eps on and LOVING it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I love Mrs McClusky. If she ever died it would kill the show for me She is very underused. I love the new format. It's a clever way of having a complete change of story, rather than waiting 5 years for it to get going. I still love Lynette and Tom, the whole situation with the car was funny (that he had actually ordered a new wingmirror anyway). I love Bree and felt so sorry for her that she lost Benjamin, and realising why she's now working so hard. I hope more becomes of that because Bree is my favourite of the housewives. I've warmed to Kathryn, I hated her last season because she was trying to take over Bree, but then the finale was brilliant and made me feel for her. I don't like Edie, never have and was pleased that she was leaving - but now she's back I guess the crux of the storyline is going to be about her husband. And Susan should still be with Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I've just caught up with it.. and really liked it. Jumping 5 years was a great way to move things on, and get new storylines going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Guess we are all enjoying it then. As you say it is a better way to do it rather than waiting for 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkle Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'm a couple of episodes in and really like it. As others have said, jumping forward 5 years is a clever way of getting new story lines in. I was sad that Mike and Susan broke up though. I'm really missing Gaby's glamour though. I loved the old her. Aren't they all looking a little less worse for wear though! Those 5 years must've been spent swimming in Botox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have mixed feelings about this season. It is weird to see the way they have all changed but it's also refreshing... I liked it until last week's episode, which I felt was all wrong... I'm on the american schedule though so I dont want to spoil anything by being specific. Hopefully tonight's episode will be better.

Stephanie2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm only on the third or fourth episode but already feel like Katherine is being heavily underused (I hope that improves over the series). Bree is my favourite character (still) but I really don't like Orson now. I could do without Edie - although I'm interested in where they will take her husband. And I still love Mrs McClusky and I'm so glad that they're using her more than last series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm thinking they should change her name to Detective McClusky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm thinking they should change her name to Detective McClusky Yeah. If there's anyone that can find out about Dave it's her. But he stole Toby off her (who I think is goreous. There is something about that type of cat that I love). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I guess that i am the only one that doesn't like the new format....5 years ahead. I liked the twins when they were younger. The show has lost some of its attraction for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I watched the first episode yesterday and I just can't get over the fact that Susan's not with Mike anymore I hope I don't start hating her for sleeping with the painter eventhough it was Mike that did the dumping. What's with the painter's hair anyway? Graah! Just like Twinkle, I also miss Gaby's glamour. But at least she's still with Carlos. Other than that, it seems like there's potential.

Ravenwood Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thought it was good to jump ahead 5 years - I think everyone would have moved out of Wisteria Lane if there kept being major disasters/scandals there every 6 months! And as a mother of two I'm glad to see that Gaby looks dreadful too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I know! I just want him to get a decent hair cut. She and Mike should definitely get back together A decent haircut and another girlfriend! And make that asap. I just know that throughout season 5 I won't rest until Susan and Mike are back together. They've always struggled, why couldn't they just be together and have a happy season for once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Seems like Mike has a girlfriend. Appears like he also has an enemy that is out to get him. Tonight's episode had enough excitement for everyone. Edited November 17, 2008 by Nici Fixed the spoiler :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charm Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 That spoiler tag didn't work :/ No you're right. I couldn't resist it and just went ahead and peeked! :) Not sorry though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 No you're right. I couldn't resist it and just went ahead and peeked! :) Not sorry though!! Actually I meant literally, the spoiler tag didn't work. It clearly read spoiler - then the bit with Mike and then - spoiler, in plain view. Now it works normally. I don't know why it didn't before. I don't mind that much though because the bit was not too surprising and revealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I assume it wasn't working because I hadn't long been awake, and made a mistake. As you can see from the little footnote though, Nici corrected it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggle not Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I didn't think I was revealing too much, just enough to get your interest. My apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I took out the revealing parts... now stop peeking! *laughs* Yeah it was great! Finally a really good episode, full of dark humour and unpredictability. I feel like the seasons back on track *grins* Edited November 17, 2008 by Chimera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
