Desperate Housewives post #1  quote:






Marcia Cross as Bree Van De Kamp
James Denton as Mike Delfino
Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer
Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo
Eva Longoria as Gabreille Solis
Nicollette Sheridan as Edie Britt
Andrea Bowen as Julie Mayer
Ricardo Antonio Chavira as Carlos Solis
Steven Culp as Rex Van De Kamp
Jesse Metcalfe as John
Mark Moses as Paul Young
Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young


A primetime soap with a truly contemporary take on "happily every after," this new hour- long drama takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia, where the secret lives of housewives aren't always what they seem.

Looking down on her friends and family isn't a way of life for Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) … it's a way of death. One day, in her perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs, Mary Alice ended it all. Now she's taking us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbors, commenting from her elevated P.O.V.

Her small circle of girlfriends are wondering why one of their own would do something so rash… and so messy. There's Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), the divorcee and single mom who will go to extraordinary lengths for love; Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), the ex-career woman who traded the boardroom for boredom, mixed with moments of sheer panic as the mother of four unmanageable kids; Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross), the Martha Stewart on steroids, whose family is about to mutiny; and Gabrielle Solis, the ex-model with everything she's every wanted – a rich husband, a big house – so what is she doing with John, the 17-year-old gardener (Jesse Metcalfe)? And there are her neighbors, including serial divorcee Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan), whose romantic conquests have everyone buzzing.

Then there are the men: Hunky new neighbor Mike Delfino (James Denton), a supposedly widowed plumber who has Susan and Edie vying for his attention; Rex Van De Kamp (Steven Culp), who's just told Bree he wants a divorce; Gabrielle's better half, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira), who figures he bought his wife a $15,000 diamond necklace, so she should do whatever he tells her; as for Mary Alice's newly-widowed husband, Paul (Mark Moses), there must be a reason why he's acting so suspiciously – and why he's digging up the pool in the middle of the night!

From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever did alive, and she's planning to share all the delicious secrets that hide behind every neighbor's closed door in this seemingly perfect American suburb.

Marc Cherry is executive producer and writer. Michael Edelstein and Tom Spezialy are executive producers, and Charles Pratt Jr. is consulting producer of the series, from Touchstone Television.

Let me just say....

WOW!!

This show is AWESOME!! I loved everything about it, from the acting (well, I LIKE the acting...) to the writing, to the directing (great, interesting, supportive camera angles and scene positioning). I think this show can REALLY do well, and it might just be the best new show this season, in the running with Boston Legal.

I would admonish everyone to CHECK THIS SHOW OUT!

Tonight's TV Show Is Hilarious post #5  quote:

Well Lickety, thanks for that intro. But I'm like any other here, just having some fun. I'm blushing hoping God will forgive me. Ken No God, But A Comedy Act Tonight's show, Susan Mayer is a bit wacky losing her towel and locking herself out. But I love her necklace she wore. Isn't her Ex robbing some cradle with that blonde?

Bree Van De Kamp is wicked like Stacy Rotner from The Apprentice 2, whom used a plier and cut the sofa mattress springs to stick her husband's back. She then stole the shrink's copy of confidential taped interview from his office. What was most shocking was when she blurted out in front of the dinner guests that Rex her husband cries after ejaculating. What a witch.

And then there's Gabrielle Solis, the ex-model with everything she's every wanted - a rich husband, a big house - so she's about half his age and she needs to find some younger playtoy named John, the 17-year-old gardener. She reminds me of Mary Kay Latourno.

That neigborhood is something else.... and you just have to laugh at the funny scenes.

_______________________________
OK, this is where I wanted that post to go.

Unfortunately, I was unable to remove the THREAD I started titled "SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD LOVER"...so hopefully I won't be shamed for long on this BB.

Actually, it would be funny if people were looking for this show called, "Seventeen Year Old Lover"...

Ahh well, nobody's perfect.

ABC Promoting Statutory Rape post #8  quote:

Don't worry. The earth isn't going to fall out of the universe.

There's nothing wrong with starting a thread. Maybe this one will take off and reach 5,000 posting like the Scott Peterson thread started by Delta.

I'm not an expert when it comes to legal ages as some here know that I'm not an attorney or as they say those British.... barrister.

Eva Longoria (Gabrielle Solis) previously in The Young And The Restless (1973), General Hospital in 2000 now as lonely cheating spouse to (husband Carlos Solis) Ricardo Antonio Chavira when playing with the boytoy gardner. So it might be under 16 years of age becomes statutory age for girls and not sure if same age for boys age 17.

Season 1
1. 1-1 100 03-Oct-2004 Pilot
2. 1-2 101 10-Oct-2004 Ah, But Underneath
3. 1-3 102 17-Oct-2004 Pretty Little Picture
4. 1-4 103 24-Oct-2004 Who's that Woman?
5. 1-5 104 31-Oct-2004 Come in, Stranger
6. 1-6 105 07-Nov-2004 Running to Stand Still
7. 1-7 106 21-Nov-2004 Anything You Can Do
8. 1-8 104 28-Nov-2004 Guilty
9. 1-9 108 12-Dec-2004 Suspicious Minds

Good point Lickety, that being on statutory rape.

I can't believe ABC is promoting this type of garbage to our society.

Yup. Illegal of you're a guy under 18 or a girl under 16. If it's gay/ anal sex though, you both have to be over 21, that's both genders. In Russia the legal age for everyone doing just about everything is 14.

ABC Hollywood Shooting The Show Is Illegal post #13  quote:

Promoting Child Molestation And The California Cops and District Attorneys Go After Wacko Jacko Only? AP reports the dark suburban comedy was seen by 21.6 million viewers on Sunday, the most popular show of the week about a housewife having sex with a boytoy.

Schmiggens, is that the legal requirements in Australia? And Lickety that's very similar in Canada for sexual consent: female (14) and male (18). In NJ, the uniformed age is at 16; In NY uniformed at 17 age; In Pa uniformed at 16; In California uniformed at 18. Doesn't matter the gender. So here's the age of consent chart on four stats, first by state, then heterosexual, then female and lastly male. Breakdown in the United States State by State (including Canada < -- Click Here to see chart.
    Statutory rape is generally defined as when an adult has sex with a minor. Although the age of consent varies from state to state, consent is not a factor if one partner is under the age of consent...

I can't believe you can get parental consent and it's OK it's some states. Thats hilarious. How do you prosecute someone and overcome finding out whether their mum said they could do it or not? That's really odd.

I also can't believe that gayness is illegal in 18 states. Get a grip on reality USA.

They have an international guide to ages of consent as well on that web site. Some places the legal age is 12

Gays Have Tougher Laws On Molestation post #15  quote:

That's why we called ourselves the UNITED States. We are united but great diversity. Sorta like a cafeteria. Our citizens can move about and choose what's important to them. California seems to be the toughest at 18. Hawaii seems to be the easiest at only age 14 and they have no current law.

General parental consent is to lessen the arms of the law in reaching into kiddie sex. Sorta explains why these hick states allow that like South Carolina and Iowa PC at 14, Utah 16, Idaho 16, Wyoming 16, Montana 16, Delaware 16 and Conncticut 15.
