Did you watch this? You have no idea what you missed. Yes, when you see the ads you’re probably think, “How stupid.” I actually said that. And then I thought I will try it out because I love Jamie or James (Jamie Denton, Mr. Lyle) as he is now known. So I watched it. I can’t believe how much I laughed. These people are completely messed up but you find yourself choosing who you completely loved (the less messed up people, I suppose).

Let’s see. There is Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) who narrates the entire episode, and episodes to come. She’s one of five housewives who go to each other for support, but for some reason Mary Alice can’t go to the others and ends her life, but not after she made sure her household chores were complete. Of course; her husband, Paul Young (Mark Moses), acts strangely; witnessed by their son who wakes one night after his mothers death to find his father digging up the pool in the backyard.

Then there is Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) who gave up her career for her monster children. With threats of calling Santa Claus’s cell phone and telling him they want socks, she drags her boys to the wake for Mary Alice. Her life is one ‘exciting’ moment after another and the only thing that would make it worse is adding more kids.

Then there is Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) who’s husband, Carols Solis (Ricardo Antonio Chavira), is all business and money. Being an ex-model, she’s beautiful but she mistakenly married for money and now goes to the gardener for her ‘happiness’, goings as far as to race home from her husbands business party to mow the lawn because she had the gardener, John, engaged in other activities.

No one could forget Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross) who looks and acts like she is “running for the mayor of Stepford”. She does everything gardens, upholstery, cooking, and cleaning. Problem is she is driving her husband, Rex Van De Kamp (Steven Culp), absolutely crazy. Careful he’s allergic to onions. Oops!

Last but not least is Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher) who is divorced and living with her teenage daughter, Julie (Andrea Bowen). The relationship between these two is fun and fresh and their major concern is how to clog a sink just to get Mike Delfino (James Denton) to come over and use his plumbing skills. Of course, it is a big race against Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) to trap this eligible bachelor, but Mike might just have some secrets of his own. But I’m sure he’ll tell you not to eat Susan’s macaroni and cheese. It is the only things she can make but it doesn’t mean she makes it good.

Personally my favorites with just the first episode are Bree (okay very messed up) and Susan… and I will always love Jamie, excuses me James (Mike). The lengths Susan goes to just to get closer to Mike are hilarious and worth seeing. So if you missed this pilot episode set your PVR’s, DVR’s, and VCR’s for Saturday at 7pm for the encore performance and watch it every Sunday at 9pm.
