And they all suck!

But we kind of expected that going in. I mean, seriously, tonight's episode ends with Michelle (pictured right and played by Natalie Martinez), our heroine, coming home to find Boobs Magillicuddy (pictured left and played by Donna Feldman) who broke up her marriage. Boobs is seductively lounging around Michelle's house in Michelle's lingerie. Michelle is obviously stunned, to which Boobs says, "I'm sorry... I'm not dressed for company."Come on, people! This is not LOST! or Grey's Anatomy, though I do think we're funnier than most episodes of Desperate Housewives. But if you don't have people watching the show and knowing what they're getting, then of course they're going to flame on about the episodes.
Here's one segment from a scorcher of a review in the Times Union from Albany, NY.
I was initially convinced that "Fashion House" had the same writers as "Desire." I could picture them locked away in some basement in Van Nuys, Calif., subsisting on nothing but Oreos and Red Bull, toiling around the clock churning out the 130 scripts -- each worse than the last -- needed for the 13-week run.
Um... Our offices are located in Culver City. Duh!

What's that phrase? Any publicity is good publicity? Or something? But I mean, it is a soap opera, what exactly were they expecting?
Don't fret none!
When Dallas first aired, it was ranked in the mid forties. Two seasons later, it was number 1 and was in the top ten for seven consecutive seasons.
Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild bitch-slapping each other. Hot bodies. Cat fights. Infinitely better than all those damned "reality" shows that seem to have run amok. I have got to get a TiVo for this!!
Puhlease--I've seen your abs and you don't eat oreos. Unless you purge after, but whatever. Van Nuys? OUCH!
Screw the reviews. Clearly they don't get it. I think FH is far more entertaining than that sterile so called A-List shitfest called Desperate Housewives. FH is fun and totally unapologetic and knows its niche.
Agree, agree, agree, I've never seen your abs, and again I agree with the comments here. Critics be damned, I had a great time watching last week's episodes. And please tell us how gratifying that is to see your name on the credits! I didn't realize they only ran them on the Saturday recap.
I'm looking forward to the next 12 weeks.
Seriously, you should celebrate your bad reviews the way "Jackass The Movie" does! When you get down to it, Dalls, Knots Landing, Dynasty and Melrose place never got very good reviews either. Besides, with so many shows out there getting good reviews, people are passing them by. But get bad reviews and people will tune in just to see what's so bad. And next thing you know, they're hooked! Oh and by the way, Desperate Housewives isn't funny at all.
Hi Rick!
I swear I almost plotzed when I read your comment on my blog! Thanks for stopping by! So what’s the scoop? Is Robert Buckley single? Does he have a boy/girlfriend? Would he like to come to Texas, take his shirt off, and have me sit on his knee? [Giggling hysterically]! Okay I’m done…really I am! And don’t worry about the ratings. The more the critics disparage FH, the more people will watch to see what all the commotion is about. The show will find its core audience and will be a big hit. I’m sure of it! Can’t say the same about Desire though…
Smooches,
Ms. GD
