Ever since the new season of the highly anticipated show Desperate Housewives aired, I along with many other fans have been very disappointed. Jumping ahead five years was a bad idea and very unnecessary. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” The show was doing very well; in fact I found that last season’s script was incredibly well-written. So I do not understand why the writers decided to change the whole storyline. How are any viewers supposed to know what is going on if we don’t know what happened within the past five years?
I understand that they are explaining some of it, but they obviously cannot cover everything. It’s like I stopped watching the show for five seasons then just decided that I was going to 
follow it again. What with everything that is going on, it is horribly perplexing and somewhat depressing. The new storyline for this season is not half as good as previous ones.
follow it again. What with everything that is going on, it is horribly perplexing and somewhat depressing. The new storyline for this season is not half as good as previous ones. Firstly, I absolutely hate the story between Carlos and Gabrielle. Even last season I did not agree with Carlos going blind, as he is one of the nicest characters on the show. I thought it was bad then, but it got worse! I also hate the fact that Gabby has just let herself go – she was one of my favorite characters and now she’s the total opposite of who she used to be. Those kids of theirs do not help either, especially Juanita who, by the way, totally deserved to be pushed down by Susan.
Speaking of Susan, why did the writers have to break her and Mike up? In season four, fans were cheering for Mike and Susan to get back together, and before you know it they’re separated again. Now she’s with some greasy, younger guy named Jackson, who does not fit in on Wisteria Lane.
Then there’s Bree, who is more controlling than ever, and even gave a hot dog to her vegetarian grandson. You don’t feed a dog cat food just like you don’t give a vegetarian meat.
Lastly there’s Lynette, who really has not changed that much, except for maybe her hairstyle. Ironically, her children have changed so much that they had to bring in twenty year old actors to play them. It’s funny how after five years she really has not aged a bit, yet her sons grew a few feet and facial hair!
The only character who has a decent story line now is Edie, who I didn’t even like in the previous seasons. Now she seems like the only character that shows promise in this new and not so great season.
I really hope that this is just a really bad dream, but I highly doubt it. Besides, it’s more like a nightmare than a dream. The Desperate Housewives writers really need to do something about the stupidity of this new season; they’re losing viewers because of it!
I have always been highly devoted to the show, it’s something that has become apart of my Sunday nights. This season, however, I’m left feeling that this is not the Desperate Housewives show that I grew to love, and it’s very disappointing.
