Desperate Housewives--Remember that stylistic change I was asking for?  This week's episode was hilarious.  A welcome humor-driven hour that only aided itself to the occasionally dragging plot lines.  Next week's hostage "sitch" should be great too.  Nothing dangerous that involves all of the characters has happened before.  Makes me think of Sunset Beach's earthquake and tidal wave story arc, or Days of Our Lives's blizzard.  True soap operas truly rock.

Brothers & Sisters--What?  Were you on this week?  I was too hyped from a great DH episode that I didn't even think twice about devoting my time to this great relationship drama.  Woops!  Shift this well-written, star-driven soap to the post-Grey's Anatomy slot on Thursday and I garauntee success (or at least something better than Six Degrees).

Heroes--Don't be so painfully mysterious.  Every 20 minutes I find myself excited and interested in the characters and their powers.  Maybe it's just my extremely unhealthy desire to become a super-hero, but I'd much rather see these people using their powers than whining about it all the time.  There's got to be a better way to humanize such a fantastical subject without manipulating me into believing that trite, contrived dialogue will somehow lead to a full hour of my tuchus being on the edge of my seat.

Umm...really sad.  I missed Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars.  I caught parts of Nip/Tuck (what's with Liz's b***ch-Alanis Morisette-girlfriend?!?), but I had to work.  What??  It was Halloween too!

I'm enjoying Brothers & Sisters more and more.  Greg Berlanti's influence is slowly surfacing through the dialogue that gets wittier, and smarter.  The characters' arguments are full of flaws and practically blur the lines between who's right and who's wrong.  Just like in real life, you say?  Totally brings me back to the days of Everwood.  If only B&S were as interesting or as loveable as the "wood."  Ew.  Oh well.

Desperate Housewives was...okay?  I am IN LOVE with Marcia Cross and her character's story-lines, but everything else isn't really tugging my heart-strings are tickling my fancies.  I'm mostly bored with the show and some major shift needs to occur.  And I don't mean plot-wise, I mean stylistically.  We'll see about all of this.  I think I'm just really critical (though my criticisms are always right) about everything.  I just know that this show could be more entertaining.  Like season 1.
