Gay TV Recap: Sculpture war on last night's Desperate Housewives
Last night on Desperate Housewives we finally learned the last names of the new gay couple on Wisteria Lane. Bob "Hunter" and Lee "McDermott." We also learned that the pair have really questionable judgment when it comes to outdoor art. Bob and Lee prompt a neighborhood revolt when they install a twenty-foot high metal fountain in their front yard. Says Bree, "Of all the gay men in the world, we have to get the two with no taste."
The neighborhood hens spring into action.
Ooh harsh. But about that metal sculpture. It is pretty atrocious. The neighborhood hens tactfully suggest to Bob & Lee that they move their modern art installation to the back yard. The guys refuse. Lee even calls the women "philistines." The neighborhood meets to elect a neighborhood council president. Katherine (Dana Delaney) wins the election in a tight race against Lynette. Her first order of business is to tell Bob & Lee to dismantle the sculpture, but it turns out they have some dirt on Katherine. Basically, they blackmail her into letting the sculpture stay. There go property values on Wisteria Lane. I gotta say, so far Bob & Lee are not turning out to be ideal neighbors. I'm not sure I'd want them living by me. Although, Bob (Tuc Watkins) certainly does look fine in a polo shirt.

Hmm
Bad casting, bad writing
love the new Desperate Housewives
This is the best season ever! Every episode so far has been above par in all aspects. The writing, the acting, the direction have all been incredible.
Now, for the gays. I'm glad they are not cookie cutter copies of the "likeable" gay that everyone loves. I don't really like Bob and Lee but they do represent aspects of the gay community that we know. What's more ... THEY ARE A REAL GAY COUPLE. Hopefully we'll get to see them bitch about other things and maybe even ruffle some more feathers as the weeks go on. And then, they'll get on sides with the men and women of the Lane and they won't have all the action. It's Wisteria Lane, not everyone is a saint.
Here's to the Emmy for the best show of the season.
They don't seem real to me
Terrible episode!
Very clunky writing. Maybe they let the intern write one?
But so far, it seems like a good season.
