Housewives: The Housewife Bug Is this a welcome weekend trend - or is Gayle Allen Cox out of touch?
I'm proud to be a housewife Kudos to Gayle Allen Cox for her July 22 Viewpoints column "Housewife Bug - It's hitting the hip, young and well-educated." As one who was liberated and blessed enough to choose the profession of "housewife" over 25 years ago (when it wasn't hip), I am proud to call myself a housewife. I have had the full-time opportunity to use my creative talents to serve my...

Separate Wives As season 2 progresses, Henry Goldblatt hopes these Housewives divided will pull themselves together again
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES Sundays, 9 p.m. (ABC) There's something horribly awry on Wisteria Lane—and it has nothing to do with the guy in Alfre Woodard's basement. Since the show returned for its second season in September, the four titular wives have spent a total of 135 seconds together on screen. (For real.) During that same time, Housewives has morphed into four series. Call it the Separate Housewives anthology: Bree, a seriocomic drama about a rigid...

'ANGRY HOUSEWIVES' IS MORE CENTS& THAN (STAR)(STAR)(STAR)(STAR) HIT
I'M not going to pretend I liked much of "Angry Housewives" on Thursday night.But the show does not need my approval.

THESE "ANGRY HOUSEWIVES' MORE FUN THAN THEY DESERVE
Angry Housewives, Birmingham Festival Theatre's production of the slight musical about a quartet of bored women who find fulfillment when they start a punk rock band, is a lot more fun than it has a right to be.The story is preposterous. The score is largely forgettable. The set looks like it was slapped together and painted yesterday. And the cast (with the exception of Jan Hunter, Andrea Brown and Kyle Bass) is largely tuneless. Still, director A. Vastine Stabler must have...

SET PIECES Housewives with designs They may be desperate, but never drab. The production designer and set decorator of ABC's hit give viewers a smorgasbord of contemporary middle-class decor. It's a side dish to the sex and scandal.
Scouting locations that would become the setting for ABC's "Desperate Housewives," production designer Thomas A. Walsh at first turned to "those Spielberg-like communities" -- Stevenson Ranch and Simi Valley -- but they were all "a little too real or a little too beige."In his quest to replicate an idyllic "Eisenhower-era perfectness," Walsh suggested buying all the houses on a block...

When Housewives (and others) Are Desperate
The main theme of the year’s biggest TV hit - Desperate Housewives - is that despite their beautiful clothes, perfect bodies, and high-end lifestyles, the women who live on Wisteria Lane are miserable. They struggle to find happiness by achieving a set of impossible social standards for women. And they invariably fail because they are looking for fulfillment in all the wrong places – in wealth, in power, in beauty, and in other people.
