Who on DU has not seen one ep. of "Desperate Housewives"?

[XanaDUer]

I've never seen one, not even a part of one.

[run junkie]

1. ditto

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. Me neither

just no interest in that show at all

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Raising hand....

I don't even know what channel it is on or at what time. Sunday nights, I think, but don't quote me on it.

[XanaDUer]

9. Does this put us out of step

with our fellow Americans?

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. I really don't care....

Do you?

I watch so little television. Local evening news when I come home from work, some PBS over the weekends. Mostly old movies that I have taped and are worth watching many times. Just finished "Giant" today. Think I might do a bit of "Out of Africa" tomorrow.

Nor do I have cable. Most of the time, the tube is turned off.

[XanaDUer]

31. Not really.

I love Giant, tho. Good movie.

[greatauntoftriplets]

47. Leslie (the Elizabeth Taylor character)...

was an extremely strong woman for a movie of that time. As she was in the Edna Ferber book, but it is a nice change from so many of the women in movies at that time. And not a harridan as so many "strong" women in movies were in those days, either. I've long thought that was Elizabeth Taylor's best role. Also love "The Last Time I Saw Paris."

[XanaDUer]

67. I read the book, but the movie is better

Taylor is so freaking gorgeous in that movie that she makes the film for me.

[LiberalinNC]

4. Where in the world do you see a block of beautiful, thin housewives?

Never seen the show, and don't care too, it's complete fantasy!

[run junkie]

5. not that theres anything 'wrong' with that....

: )

(i gotta expand my smiley base...)

[baldguy]

6. Nope

[hippiechick]

me ~

I don't have cable, and am in an apt, so I have shitty reception on the few channels that DO come in, and ... well, the only thing I really watch is the weather in the morning before work, and All My Children at lunch.

:freak:

[booley]

7. nope but I hear the plumber is sexy

so maybe i might catch an episode for that. Just to see if he really is.

[XanaDUer]

22. Do we get to see him naked?

I might watch that if he is buff.

[run junkie]

35. visions of cracks

can't get past it .....show still not dangling the carrot enough for me. (giggle)

[Nite Owl]

8. Missed the whole thing

so far. I really don't watch much tv anyway so it isn't this show in particular.

[mhr]

10. What Is A Desperate Housewife?

eom

[XanaDUer]

13. I think they are a bunch of jerky housewives in red states.

...

[Solly Mack]

11. me

[GOPisEvil]

12. I have never seen it.

I don't watch much network TV if any.

[peekaloo]

14. I've caught maybe the last minute while awaiting Boston Legal

to start.

[JohnKleeb]

15. Not I

[XanaDUer]

32. That is because you were studying chem, right?

:hi:

[JohnKleeb]

36. No I just havent had a desire to watch it

Reality TV sucks ass to me.

[XanaDUer]

41. I don't think it's reality TV

It does have Teri Hatcher, so it can't be all bad.

And yes, reality TV sucks and blows. :puke:

[JohnKleeb]

46. Yep

[arismomkoofie]

16. Not even one minute here

[lenidog]

17. This is one club I can join easily

I have never seen one or a fragment of one and have NO interest at all in seeing one.

[idlisambar]

18. it's a good black comedy/satire

you should try it out;)

[XanaDUer]

25. Only if there are hot, naked, buff young men

doing black comedy and satire. ;)

[merh]

50. I have watched it and it is funny. Yes, there are buff men

half naked (the plumber has a wonderful chest and some nice abs)! I am not afraid to admit it - I have watched Desparate Housewives and have laughed! It is entertaining.

I have never expected anything on television to be realistic. It is for entertainment.

Reality T.V. is not real and it sucks! :puke:

[XanaDUer]

66. Half nekkid is not good enuf, dammit!

I want whole-hog nekkid.
;)

[merh]

69. Are you kiddin

In this day and age, fundies would freak :freak:. Hell, they won't even show Mickey Rooney's 84 year old ass in the commerical he did for the Super Bowl. Crazy fools are going backward in time. (Not that I want to see his old ass, its just that things have gotten so damned stupid. Morans!)

The half nekkid men are nice.

[XanaDUer]

72. MICKEY ROONEY'S ASS!

That is the crack that leads to Hell, although I liked him in National Velvet. :)

[merh]

74. I mean the fundies are just totally off their rockers!

Who the heck cares if Mickey Rooney drops his towel and for a nano second we see is wrinkley old ass? Faux, the station airing the Super Bowl ruled it was too controversial and won't allow it.

Backwards, ass-f'ckin backwards, that is the direction of our nation!

[catzies]

19. Me. Don't know network, day, or time either.

Don't care about network TV at all.

[Nay]

20. Me neither. I'm just not a TV person.

[undergroundpanther]

45. I haven't seen it

Nor have I seen ANY of the "reality" TV shows.I only saw a part of"the swan" because it was on a TV where I was waiting. It sucked.In fact it was sick and it sucked. Plastic surgery so OTHER PEOPLE will like you,that's sad.Plastic surgery because you want it for pleasing yourself is different.
I watch comedy central,cartoon network mostly adult swim,history or discovery or C Span once in a blue moon tech TV.. And most of the time the stuff on those channels is crap too..Tv in general just sucks.TV news is a joke.I guess the"newsies" can still do the weather without adding in neurolinguistics and other bullshit.However you get an inch of snow and the hysterics verge on comical,as you wait 20 minutes to see the damn radar scan to look and see how it's going.I could give a shit about the stoopid fluff "running commentaries" these news shows do~even on the weather now.It's obscene.Things were better when the news was only on at 6 am 6 pm and 11 for a half hour.To me sports is a waste,I wish they'd just keep that shit confined to sports channels where sport fans can watch it all day. I say this Because I don't give a shit about sports including the damn olympics..There is too much serious shit in this life to worry about ,than to get worked up over sports.There is stuff far more interesting and rewarding for ME to learn and do,rather than watch a bunch of buff millionaires hired by mega millionaires chase balls around.If I want to see ball chasing I'll play with my cats,they are better athletes than humans anyway more graceful and beautiful too.And it's interactive..I can't play football with a bunch of pros and enjoy it like I do with my cats and I won't get any broken bones that way. :)

[sundog]

23. me

:hi:

Every time I say I'm gonna watch it, something else comes up.

[XanaDUer]

29. Hi

:hi:

Maybe I should watch it.

[dpbrown]

24. Me

Don't care to, either.

[biscotti]

26. I keep forgetting to

but I want to catch it.

[freeplessinseattle]

105. lol, me too, one of these days..

[realisticphish]

27. i have not

and i WILL not


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[nono]

28. None

And will not.

[Blue-Jay]

30. I don't feel as though I'm missing anything.

Same way I felt about "Sex In The City". Crap that I'm better off without.

[WindRavenX]

33. I have no clue what that show is about

:shrug:

[JanMichael]

34. Hand up here

Not even interested in this show-

[high_carb_hot_dog]

40. *raises hand*

Love it, love it.

[Smallberries]

43. Not one episode. Coulnd't care less

[XanaDUer]

44. Do You don't have to apologize.

[auntAgonist]

[ikojo]

52. I've never seen one episode of Desparate Housewives

nor do I have any interest.

[NC_Nurse]

53. Me

and I'm not planning to. Don't give a shit.

[Kali]

54. I haven't.

Read about it in newsweek - subscription ran our in Dec. so no more news about pop culture except here at DU.

TV's been off for going on ten years now. Ahhhhh.

[Kali]

55. I haven't.

Read about it in newsweek - subscription ran our in Dec. so no more news about pop culture except here at DU.

TV's been off for going on ten years now. Ahhhhh.

[DeepGreen]

56. Nope !

And proud of it!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

57. I've never seen one...

and I don't know if I will.
Duckie

[bikebloke]

58. Not me, but...

...a bloke at work has. Does that count?

[Zomby Woof]

59. wtf is that?

Chalk me up in the "no, and wtf is it?" column.

[Wat_Tyler]

60. Me. It looks really formulaic and naff.

[LoZoccolo]

61. Netflix junkie here.

I barely ever watch TV, pretty much just movies.

[AngryAmish]

62. Me

I've seen the ads and the gals are kinda hot.

[DemGirl7]

63. I never a episode yet...

I'm really not even interested in watching it.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

64. Me either

:-)

[Beausoir]

65. Me. Never watched it.

But then, I'm the only one on the planet who has never seen even a single episode of "Friends". Thank God.

[blondeatlast]

113. Wrong. I'm proud to join you there. Never seen "Friends," either. nt

[borlis]

68. Me neither but I really want to

I just never get the chance. I would have to go lock myself in a room and then my kids would be pounding on the door to come in by me.

[Andy_Stephenson]

70. I don't watch TV so

No I have never seen one.

[sparky_in_ma]

71. Nope- never have n/t

[Liberal In Texas]

75. Me.

[Penndems]

76. Not me, either

Honestly, I'm waiting for the reruns, so I can watch it from the beginning.

[aquaman]

77. Nope, me either

Have no clue what you are talking about.

[Emops]

78. Yo.

Can it possibly be that good?

[Best_man23]

79. I would rather watch grass grow or paint dry

Than five minutes of Desparate Housewives.

[Dookus]

80. I ignored it until so many people told me how great it was...

so I watched about 10 minutes of an episode and hated it.

[MissMillie]

81. I haven't seen it

Just the name of the show turns me off.

[Placebo]

82. Me

[Wapsie B]

83. I haven't seen it.

Although I keep hearing references to the show from time to time.

[qnr]

84. Me. But I cheat, no television reception at all. n/t

[Cadence]

85. I haven't. I don't want to either.

Just not interested. :shrug:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

86. Me either.

nt

[MrModerate]

87. It hasn't shown up in Romania yet . . .

And from what I've heard, that's not a bad thing.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

88. Neither have I.

[Rowdyboy]

89. I had an episode playing in the background tonight....I think some lady

is a pricy prostitute but other than that I didn't glean much.

[Historic NY]

90. me...but I heard Oprah is going to be on it.

I think.

[latteromden]

91. I've heard of it, but I don't even know what it's about.

Don't enlighten me, please. :P

[Renew Deal]

92. I've never watched any of it.

I'm still trying to figure out why I should.

[Kipepeo]

93. I haven't seen even one

but I somehow know what it is thanks to pop-culture consumerism invading everything.

Not that I'm criticizing the show...I have heard good things and bad things. But why do I know so much about shit I don't even consume? It's ubiquitous.

[LynneSin]

94. You can sign me up for that list...

...other than flipping through the channels one night and catching about 30 seconds of it (and was immediately bored), I haven't watched one iota.

But to be honest, other than the Iron Chef on Sunday nights there isn't much on TV that I watch on a regular basis

[alittlelark]

95. I thought it was a 'reality show' at first.... ppl talkin'

Then I found out it was a 'drama' ??

Never seen it

[MuseRider]

96. Not one

nor do I care to. The entire premise bothers me but then I saw one preview and drew conclusions so maybe I am missing something great. Still, I really don't care if I see it or not.

[B Calm]

97. My wife loves the show. When it comes on. I go to DU,, Oprah

had the cast of the show on hers this past week.

[TheMightyFavog]

98. Nope

I have better things to do.

[B Calm]

100. Well Jonathon how we ever going to find out what they are in

desperate need of if we never watch it?

[TheMightyFavog]

Nope

I have better things to do.

[TheMightyFavog]

99. Nope

I have better things to do.

[Vektor]

101. Me...

..either. Not really interested.

[huellewig]

102. I use it to make successfull relationships.

I do the opposite of what they advise. Complex solutions require stupid solutions.

[fujiyama]

103. Me too

[DemBones DemBones]

104. Me. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

106. Nor me. I only know what I have seen on the news

Pretty sad, that this is considered news.:shrug:

[RebelOne]

107. I don't even want to bother watching it.n/t

[DainBramaged]

108. Raising hand, wondering what all the fuss over the show is about

I guess the thuglies who watch must not realize how empty their lives really are. Now, when it comes to any of the three CSI's, get your hands off my remote.

[NJCher]

109. Hmmmph

I'm afraid not.


Cher

[NNadir]

110. I don't even know what channel it's on.

I'm probably not representative of the planet. I still haven't seen a complete episode of "Seinfeld."

[rox63]

111. Never seen it

No plans to see it any time soon.

[blondeatlast]

112. Me neither. Never saw "Dallas" or "Sex and the City," either.

Just had absolutely no interest.

[Lexingtonian]

114. never a full one

When Teri Hatcher is being shown I watch until the scene ends- I really find her charming. (Even in her Radio Shack ads, actually.) Eva Longoria sometimes too (I wish they'd show more Latina women in prime time, really), but her character's games just bore me.

[CRK7376]

115. Me neither

nor am I the least bit interested in watching it. Family values and all that stuff...I don't think I watch a thing that is on any of the major networks...My evening TV viewing tends to be the History Channels and Discovery Channels, CNN and that's about it. I don't watch much TV in the first place. I'ld rather surf the net/DU or read a book/magazine.

[Shopaholic]

116. Me!

Not too interested in watching over-botoxed, plastic surgery victims!

[McKenzie]

117. I don't watch teeveee lol! Except, I must confess..Formula 1 n/t

[Burma Jones]

118. Not Me

I haven't watched anything on Television that isn't one or more of the following:

Sports
On HBO or Showtime
On Discovery or History Channel
Sponge Bob
Pimp my Ride
Simpsons
Family Guy
David Letterman
Arrested Development

[kiraboo]

119. Never seen it, never will. n/t

[Bertha Venation]

120. Never have. Not interested. eom

[driver8]

121. I have never seen it.

I like Felicity Huffman, too. She was great on "Sports Night."

[Glenda]

122. I don't even know what channel it's on...

or who's in it. Nor do I care

[pres2032]

123. have never seen an episode

and never intend too

[RandomKoolzip]

124. Never seen an episode.

It's one of those completely self-generated phenomena, I think, like "Survivor," the first season. I never met a single person in real life who had seen an episode, yet the network's PR department was working overtime to make me think EVERYONE was watcking it except for me. Fuck that.

You don't need to see an episode of "Desperate Housewives" to know what it's about, to know that it's pure formula, and to know that it's complete and utter shit.

I have a TV, but it's only for old episodes of MST 3K on tape and Conan O'Brien.

[youngred]

125. Nope, no real desire to either n/t

[Dukkha]

126. Very unappealing when you're not getting any

just don't care to ever see it.

[BulletproofLandshark]

127. Never Have, Never Will

Call me contrarian, but everytime the msm has to hype one of these shows to the moon, that gives me all the more reason to hang out with you all instead.

[Individualist]

128. me

[GalleryGod]

129. That would be ME!

Terri Hatcher was on stage TWICE last night at the SAG awards,though.
Speaking of which... good use of double-sided tape, Terry:wow:

[coloradodem2005]

130. I've seen a few minutes of one. THat's it.

[franmarz]

131. Just look at all the input on "desparate Housewives"

What a nation of bored couch potatoes. Get a life--and not watch TV so much.

[gardenista]

132. Me! Me! But maybe I'll see one soon. We're going on a trip soon

and there will be a TeeVee in the hotel room.

See, when we go tot a hotel, we don't get all excited about the usual stuff people get excited about. We are all over watching the TV. It's fun for the first 24 hours, and then we remember that there's nothing good on and that's why we got rid of the cable right after the first Shrub ascension.

But it's fun to see an episode of the "hot show" if we can. Then we rent the DVDs a few years later. We're on the third season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" right now.

[smbolisnch]

133. Never.

I always say I am going to watch it, then end up finding something else to do and forget about it!

[CharG]

134. nada

Not a single minute......

[cmd]

135. Me

Have I missed something?

[amazona]

136. I haven't

Rarely see any TV.
