Me, an hour ago: PutonE4rightawayhavetowatchthesecondepisodeofDesperateHousewives!
Dad: Mm?
Me: E4! Desperate Housewives!
Dad: Ahh, I see the confusion here: you see, we have these things called 'television schedules'. Now, you've just finished watching Desperate Housewives on Channel 4, so it'll be on again *next* Wednesday at 10.
Me: [Cartman] Daaaad! I have to watch it nooooow!
Mum: Oh, let her watch her program.
Me: Huzzah!
Mum: I didn't understand that Dangerous Wives at all. The lady's dead, how can she be telling the story?

I wish AIM wasn't being a bastard so I could squee with people. As it is, I'm going offline now so I don't get tempted to read spoilers (this is one of the few shows where I went in knowing absolutely nothing but "jennyo loves it, there's a character called Bree, connorbeast says the narrator's a dead woman and the trailer kicks ass". It was nice to watch something and be surprised.)

See, you have all that, and we have... :thinks: Shameless and Teachers and Black Books and tons of stuff that will probably never get exported because the humour is too British, and some glorious day there will be the ability to upload/download instantaneously at DVD quality and then none of us will ever leave our houses again.

But sadly, that is not today.

(I could watch DH with the sound off and just marvel at Bree's astonishing, flawless hair, all the time wondering whether she's Dawn Summers' natural mother.)

DH with the sound off would be even more surreal; it would probably make Susan look...worse. For then the pratfalls and the uncanny Gilmore resemblance would be very, very clear. *giggles and giggles* It might make Lynette's storyline better, and I might not want to slap Gabrielle if I just could look at the pretty. :)

I read "Gilligan reference" and thought "yeah, I can somewhat see... oh, *Gilmore*." I've only ever seen one episode of that show but I definitely got that feeling from Susan and what's-her-name, the daughter. I spent a good part of their scenes wondering whether Mike was a criminal or an undercover cop, and also whether Susan was wearing a bra.

I got totally confused over whether Lynette's three boys are meant to be triplets. The dialogue made it sound like they were born in successive years, but they're all the same height. Maybe she feeds them smaller amounts as they get older so they can all wear each other's clothes...
