Desperate Sundays

Okay, so Desperate Housewives was a bit better last night, but it felt much more like a "very special episode" than an attempt to get the show back on track. Hey, but at least Nora got killed. Because (aside from Susan's awkward daughter) Nora was the worst story and worst actress on the show. Completely grating.

Brothers and Sisters just keeps getting better and better. I'm loving it actually. Compare last night's funny, heart-felt (and just a bit too much contrived) episode with the first episode of the season and you'd think it was a completely different show. As long as showrunner Greg Berlanti can ditch the melodrama and focus on simple interactions between the main characters, I can see the show doing really really well. It's no Thirtysomething but it'll do.
