Too little, too late. The show is in so much creative disarray, it

So you're not even going to give them the chance to "turn things around"
(note: that's your view, not mine) in season #3?

I already gave up on the show, Ian -- about 5 episodes ago. I've
tuned in about 5 minutes before Grey's and have been reading the TV
Guide Watercooler reviews/recaps just to keep up and IMO, it's fixed
*nothing.* I'd *like* to be able to tune in for just the Bree and
Susan storylines, but the Gaby, Lynette and Applewhite storylines are
disasters.

That would be like me blowing off season #6 of "24" because season #5
has blown chunks, or dropping "House" because the first half of season
#2 was a mess.

Which, Ian, would have been the right thing for you to do if you'd
hated them *that* much. OTOH, that you stuck with them means IMO that
no matter how much you hated them, you liked the early parts of s5 of
24 and s2 of House *far* more than I liked three quarters of this
season of DH.

Either that, or you're just a masochist who doesn't know when to throw
in the towel on a piece of shit show like DH.

A real fan would give them at least into season #3 before writing them
off...

No. A real fan of s1 of Desperate Housewives would stop watching the
abject, irredeemable failure it has become.
