[Seven/7:30pm] The Rich List.
[Seven/8:30pm] Desperate Housewives. New Series. Hm we’ve jumped 6 months forward. A bit like the time since our season finale. So the big question is will Wisteria Lane return to the halcyon days of series one, or will it be as patchy as series two? Marc Cherry is only a co-writer here, so let’s see. Bree is a lot closer to Kyle McWacko, and he’s proposing. But Bree hasn’t had sex with him. So she tries it. There’s a funny sex scene which we’ve all heard about, when he tries to go down on her and she says “I’m a Republican.” Its funny because its true. Lynette is lumbered with Tom’s ex, Nora who’s a right pain. Gabby’s all tied up with her maid, the baby and separation from Carlos. And Kyle McWacko, aka Orson, may have murdered and buried his wife. That sounds familiar. Mr Cherry, you only get 2.5 stars out of five and that’s for Bree’s orgasm.
[Seven/9:30pm] Brothers and Sisters. Premiere. "Patriarchy." The Walkers are an ordinary family living in L.A.. Through siblings - Sarah, the corporate VP who returns to the family business; Tommy the charming womanizer; Kevin, the gay lawyer cautiously learning about love; Justin grappling with war trauma and addiction; and Kitty, conservative radio host turned TV pundit - we explore how these brothers and sisters balance their lives as they strive to accept their parents as people rather than just as a father and mother. Sally Field is terrific in this ensemble drama, which also features Rachel Griffiths and Callista Flockhart. The girls rule this show. But it's written by a gay playwright and produced by Greg Berlanti of so Broken Hearts Club is that any real surprise? He's also penned a "together" gay guy, what a revelation. Most of the male actors are hard to tell apart. All tall, dark, goodlooking. As if that isn't enough Rob Lowe will join later down the track. This feels like watching American repertory theatre, so if you like Six Feet Under or The West Wing (which will soon switch to Saturdays) give this a go. I'm really warming to it.
