Preview just aired for next week... looks, ummmm, interesting. It looks like Rex tells Bree what Maisy did to him(the handcuffs and stelltos and stuff) and Bree is like "You really want me to hurt you?", Rex says "Yes" and Bree slaps him. Lots of Valentine's Day related stuff and a picture is shown with Lynette throwing an egg(it appears) on some old lady's face(must be the neighbor that accuses the kids of stealing).

:rotflmao:

Great episode so far... I was rolling on the floor during the opening scene with Lynette, the kids, and the flowerpot, and when Susan fell to the ground after Mike said he wanted kids. :lol:

[Brent88]

OH MY GOD!!! MIKE GOT SHOT!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

He broke into someone's house looking for clues into whatever he is doing on Wisteria Lane and the guy who lives there was hiding out and shot him, he's got a wound in the chest. He made it to the truck and sped off.

:eek2:

:lol: I couldn't help but think of last night's DH parody on MADtv when Susan fell. :p

At first I hated the elderly woman but then I felt sorry for her at the end. (Always keep in mind, you never know what somebody has been through... ;) )

I hope that isn't the last we see of Gabrielle's former maid...I thought she was funny.

Next week's looks good.

After next week we'll have to wait what 2 weeks for the next new episode? The week after next week's new episode is the Oscars then after that it's Their Eyes Were Watching God right?

[Pavan]

Excellent episode! The suspense continues...

Brent, lol, relax and watch the show. I always take that whole hour off and just watch DH, while doing nothing else. It's really fun!

Next week is all-new, then the Oscars, then the very special Oprah movie, then the preview of the John Stamos sitcom. DH returns March 20. Keep in mind, pre-emptions and/or reruns are common throughout the season, as most shows get 22-24 (usually) weeks of new shows. From Sept. to May, that is way more than 22 weeks. But this is good as probably April and May could be all new episodes. Should be a huge audience for the season finale!

[Caffeine King]

So will DH have a new episode on Sunday May 1st by any chance?

That's when new FG premieres and I'm gonna have to tape one of the two :dizzy: :bash:

I figured it up... with 23 episodes(there was an article on Zap2it a few weeks ago saying it and Lost got an extra episode ordered), and March 27th likely a pre-emption due to Easter(The Ten Commandments movie normally airs), there should only be one more repeat after that in April(that's with a season finale on the 22nd, Survivor's finale is the 15th, so I am not sure where they would place it, but I know it wouldn't be later than the 22nd). If the finale's the 15th, there would be no other repeats/pre-emptions after that.

Since that is the first Sunday of sweeps, for sure DH will be all-new. Family Guy will get rocked by DH.

I know. That completely shocked me. :eek: It looks like He's going to get arrested next week. I guess the honeymoons over for Susan and Mike.

Despite airing against another awards show, Housewives again beat whatever it was up against. This time The Grammy Awards. DH got 14.0/20, down slightly for what it usually gets, but still well enough for a win over the Grammy Awards' 11.7/17 at 9pm. DH was also again the top rated program of the night.

Thanks Pav, I hate to ask, but how many millions of viewers is that? I never understand that ratings talk :crazy:




Great episode! I was surprised too when Mike got shot.

I am starting to think that Mary Alice or Paul might have kidnapped "Dana"(probably a baby at the time) and tried to raise that child as their own, so they changed their names. I wonder if the woman Mike is looking for might have been the birth mother of that child, maybe she is the one who was in the trunk.

Bree asking if she can wash the handcuffs :rotflmao: When she slapped him and says "was it as good for you as it was for me?" I died laughing :lol:

Poor Gabby I kind of feel sorry for her.

Poor Mrs. McClusky. She's probably just a lonely old lady. I feel sorry that her son died so young :(

I did too by the end, but at the beginning, I thought she was the devil. :lol:

I couldn't help but notice that George was MIA. Not even a mention. I thought we would see him after he changed the medication in the last episode.

[sonyab]

Woah what an episode!! Well okay here are my comments/thoughts.. :)

Mike and Susan: Woah he breaks into someone's house and gets shot! ACK! Well that's what you get for breaking and entering ouch! :( Then when they go to dinner for valentines day his stiches come out and he starts bleeding. She talks about babies and she has no clue that he is bleeding! It's funny he wants a baby but Susan doesn't but in the restaurant when he leaves she says you aren't going to convince me to have your baby? ROFL ROFL. She says to her daughter that it was overwhelming for her to have her well maybe because your hubby was a jerk. Looks like Susan is starting to be suspicious of Mike and I don't blame her.

Mrs Huber's sister and Mary Alice aka Angela: Hmmmm very interesting.. So they knew each other in Utah. They worked together. I want to know more!!! There was a photo album.. This is getting exciting!!! :)

Bree and Rex: ROFL. Hey Rex if your wife doesn't want to handcuff you I will.. :) I have an open mind altho I don't like pain so the pain will all be on you.. :) As soon as Bree agrees with it in the bedroom Rex gets all excited and happy ROFL. That video tape that he showed to Bree was so funny! I don't think it's sick Bree, lots of people like that kind of kinky stuff.. When Bree decides to wash the handcuffs did they have sex anyway? Cus it was a tradition for valentines day to have sex.. Did they have kinky sex without the handcuffs or just normal sex?

Lynette and her kids. At first I really didn't like the neighbor because she was so mean. I can't believe she breaks into Lynette's house! Why do the kids steal? Is there something wrong with them? Do they need to go to therepy or something? At the end I like the neighbor because she became nice. When she talked about her son I thought maybe that she was connected to Zak and that Zak was her son.. I was wrong. The picture didn't look anything like Zak.. Lynette threw and egg at the neighbor ROFL. Tom was the voice of reason. He was right about being friend with that neighbor.. I really like Tom! Please writers don't make him into a jerk or a bad guy! :( I liked how Lynette asked the boys which object she should spank them with ROFL. Hmmmm USE THE PADDLE ROFL. Joking! :) Did anybody notice the boy who was bald? He first had a little bit of hair on him and then it looked like it grew a little.. Hmmm...

Gabrielle: She is such a diva!!!! that's all I'm going to say rofl.

[sonyab]

This was definitely a GREAT episode!

I hate soap operas.

Uhhhh Desperate housewives IS a soap opera.. :)

I know this thread is about DH, but we all know for sure that it will be back next year. This seems to be good news for BL, which I wasn't so sure about, but it seems to be winning the hour (aside from award shows).
