Desperate Housewives everytime. Don't get me started on SATC. Oh go on then since you asked.
SATC started off well but by season four it had become too much about the fashions and not enough about the characters. I hear that even some die hard SATC fans used to watch it just to see what the characters were wearing. There was way too much voice over and the Carrie character dominated the show but I thought she was the least interesting of the four main characters. DH started brilliantly. That first series had a real macabre feel to it. The other series have been much lighter but it is still very watchable. |

I love them both but Desperate Housewives is too serious.

DH too serious? Thats what makes the jokes funny, they're put in the most serious circumstances! Comedic value in timing on the part of DH writers - my favourite two quotes from DH were said at a) a funeral, and b) a domestic fight. The format has stayed the same over many years - based around the same people, yet with minor people coming and going and making comebacks - all intertwining into the large storyline thats now spanned over 4 series.
SATC can't get the humour quite right. They appeal to one kind of audience and thats all the humour is based at. I can appreciate the humour, but wit is not involved. The storylines aren't.... storylines. It started well only to be dominated by a largely female fashion-orientated audience whereby the storylines weren't of importance. |
