Desperate Housewives Quotes

After all, we're currently living in a Bizarro society where teenagers are technology-obsessed, where the biggest sellers in every bookstores are fantasy novels about a boy wizard, and the blockbuster hit movies are all full of hobbits and elves or 1960s spandex superheroes. You don't have to go to a Star Trek convention to find geeks anymore. Today, almost everyone is an obsessive, well-informed aficionado of something. Pick your cult: there are food geeks and fashion geeks and Desperate Housewives geeks and David Mamet geeks and fantasy sports geeks. The list is endless. And since everyone today is some kind of trivia geek or other, there's not even a stigma anymore. Trivia is mainstream. "Nerd" is the new "cool.

Rather, the society was wide open to popular Western culture at the very time when it was being drawn towards conservatism and increased religiosity. The Cairene and Alexandrian middle-class family would watch the afternoon lesson of Sheikh Al-Sharaawi only to switch channels later to watch the evening episode of Dallas or Dynasty, and later Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives. As large segments of society became participants in the new consumerist waves,13 they were also presented with archaic, debilitated views of ‘a return to Islam’.

desperate housewives. Ferguson, Missouri, torched by its residents following the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager, epitomises the failure of many American suburbs. Mayors like boasting about their downtown trams or metrosexual loft dwellers not their suburbs. But the planet as a whole is fast becoming suburban. In the emerging world almost every metropolis is growing in size faster than in population. Having bought their Gucci handbags and Volkswagens, the new Asian middle class is buying living space, resulting in colossal sprawl. Many of the new suburbs are high-rise, though still car-oriented; others are straight clones of American suburbs (take a look at Orange County, outside Beijing). What should governments do about it?

Oh, fine then. Let the Patron Saint of Desperate Housewives bestow upon us the blessings of his company.

What was she doing here? Private detectives were for insecure housewives, parents of troubled teens, bent old ladies who'd forgotten where they parked. She was none of the above. She was a sane, stable, capable adult. Yet here she was. Desperate times, and all that.

After all, can’t have a big, bad werewolf picking off the surgically-enhanced Desperate Housewives of Orange County one at a time like so many slow-moving, top-heavy gazelles. Would probably hurt the ratings.

Her love of dogs goes back to her childhood growing up watching black and white television. As Oprah remembers, “I grew up in the days of Lassie – the TV show about a boy [Timmy] and his dog. On the episodes when Lassie would go missing, I would actually get on my knees and pray for Lassie’s return. Not until several years ago – while visiting the set of Desperate Housewives and seeing the house where Timmy and Lassie lived, which is the same neighborhood – did it hit me. Lassie was never lost. It was the scriptwriters and producers’ ode to May sweeps. - Oprah Winfrey in the essay A Dog Like Lassie

Men can spend ten hours every Sunday watching the NFL, and that’s never called a guilty pleasure! That always bothered me. Lifetime was also the No. 1 cable network for fifteen years, which shows you both how powerful women are in TV and also how desperate women are to see anything about themselves—even if it means being kidnapped, beat up, or killed off by cancer, which is all Lifetime seemed to do to women there. That’s why I wanted Bravo, and Housewives, to tell women’s stories in a completely different way. This wasn’t Lifetime, it was a different ethos. Our women had the power. They were CEOs of their lives, come hell or high water.

The daily lives of mothers around the world are different, but our hope is the same. All of us need to experience the concrete reality of a hope that is for every season and will never pass.

Denying that we have no-good, very bad days only works until the next no-good, very bad day comes around. Just cutting ourselves some slack on occasion isn't going to cut it in the long run. What we all need is to be rescued from our sin by the Son, who was cut off from the Father when he took our sin upon himself so that we could be bound to God by his grace forever. What we need to see is the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ shining into our heart (2 Cor. 4:6).

I usually don't know these women. I literally don't know their names sometimes. More often than not, I meet them when I step into the car my manager sends to pick me up. And then the minute we walk into whatever venue we're going to, they go talk to Leonardo DiCaprio or Andy Cohen, or one of the Desperate Housewives-" "Do you mean the Real Housewives?" she asked as an impish smile overtook her face. "I mean, maybe they're snubbing you to go talk to Teri Hatcher...
