Desperate may not even be the right word for the housewives that live on Wisteria Lane. Desperate Housewives is fun and amusing. If you a want wacky concoction of crime, jealousy, affairs, and lives that look like their perfect from the outside looking in mixed into a residential setting then Desperate Housewives is the right show for you.
“The Coffee Cup,” episode eight, is the most recent episode of Desperate Housewives of season six. Just like all other episodes of Desperate Housewives, episode eight was one that would definitely keep your eyes glued to the screen. Each episode of Desperate Housewives begins with a storyline. Episode eight began with a description of a neighborly setting. The Coffee Cup café was shown at the beginning of the episode and was referred back to throughout the show.
There is always something new happening on Desperate Housewives. It’s either an affair or a sex crazed woman. This time it was both plus some. There are different scenes throughout the show that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
The episode begins with Julie bumping into Angie at the local coffee shop and attempts to engage in some small talk. Julie is having an affair with Angie’s husband and thinks that Angie does not know. Angie blatantly says to Julie, “I know you slept with my husband. So I’m thinking we’re past the chit-chat stage.” What a way to start a morning…
Another set of women that don’t like one another very much are Susan and Katherine. Susan was sentenced to community service for having shot Katherine on accident in a prior episode. Katherine stops by unannounced where Susan is picking up garbage and throws a drink on the ground for Susan to pick up. Susan gets Katherine busted for littering and now both women have community service. Did I mention that they’re both in love with the same man? Susan is married to Mike, but Katherine and Mike used to be together. It looks as if Katherine is finally going to let the drama go between them when she says, “It’s time to admit defeat. The man I love chose you.” Katherine then followed up and says that she will never find another man that will make love to her five times a day. Susan instantly freaked out because Mike had never done that with her and became a sex maniac every time she saw her husband Mike.
Desperate Housewives is an interesting portrayal of how housewives act. What if housewives were really just that bored and had crazy antics on a daily basis? The life of a housewife would no longer be seen as just staying home, taking care of the kids, cleaning, and doing laundry.
Tim Stack from Entertainment Weekly said, “Desperate Housewives has once again become a delightful romp after its last two iffy seasons.” The show has had its ups and downs from being good to being just awful. It is coming back together and is more enjoyable than ever.
Desperate Housewives is not like any other show, but dramatic wise I would definitely have to compare it to Cashmere Mafia. Even though Cashmere Mafia shows more women in the workforce and not really being at home, both shows show women having power and having control over most situations.
Desperate Housewives is interesting, comical, and dramatic. There is nothing more you can ask from a show.

Cashmere Mafia? Tell us more!
ReplyDeleteThe writer did an overall good job here in the plot summary - though she neglected to mention any details about what channel and what time the show is on.
Names of the actresses and actors would have made this better, too, of course.
But when I see there is a program that might be comparable, it seems the reviewer might have done a comparison of the two shows, also.
Cashmere Mafia is as compelling a name as Desperate Housewives.
Perhaps that could be the subject of a review, too? But this time with channel, times - an and actors names.
