Last night on Channel 4 the first episode of Desperate Housewives aired.

It was really, very good far better than I expected it to be (trashy US comedy: peh). This is Nip/Tuck quality drama with a large dose of comedy and the sad parts, seemingly, removed.

Fantastically written and produced, their world of Whysteria lane (hmm...) is entirely immersive and, much like the desperate housewives themselves, perfect.

 Fin: That was no sweeping statement about US comedy ? I?m referring to the dribble that I see on satellite channels (and I?d include Seinfeld, thank you very much). Perhaps the advantage of being a small country with few channels is that usually only the best gets through. But things like Two Pints of Larger and a Packet of Crisps have slipped through.
