They are the women we love to hate — either because they are obnoxious or because they look so much better than us. The men on the show are just as important because they give the "Desperate Housewives" their reason to laugh, cry or come out swinging. And, let's face it, a little eye candy never hurt anyone. This all looks like a good package, but there are still some things needed to fix "Desperate Housewives" and get it back to the fun, games and suspense of the first season.
Take Mike's shirt off: James Denton told me recently that he hasn't had dessert in years because he never knows when he's going to have to take his shirt off in front of millions. Unfortunately, ABC has not been showing those six-pack abs often enough.
Don't ask, don't tell: Where are the gay couples hiding? Andrew and Alex ... Bob and Lee? The gay couples used to be front and center in the story lines and they appear to have gone into the closet.
Tone down Bree's hair: Red hair may be Marcia Cross's trademark, but it's gotten so bright it outshines this talented actress. We don't want to miss anything she does — especially if she's doing it with Brian Austin Green!
Give us more Susan snafus: Susan has gotten way too coordinated. She's much more fun when she's tripping over things, losing her clothes and dropping her towels to the ground.
Wake up Gaby: We love that Gabby is back to the self-centered model she was when the show started, but she'd never be so uncaring to her daughter, Juanita. And speaking of daughters, why is it that she is often forgetting that she has two of them?
Where did she get the body? Lynette goes for a run every few weeks and — after five kids — has the best body in town. We don't want to see that.
Return the Latin lover: Carlos has gone from hot and exciting to just plain boring. That passionate heat is gone with Gabriele, and the fiery Latin blood doesn't seem to boil for anything anymore.
Renee's transformation: Renee went from New York City, where she was a ballplayer's wife, to a town full of housewives without blinking an eye (though there's been plenty of "winking"). She's not even complaining about the lack of spas and boutiques.
Un-wimp Tom: Tom, I know you are married to a tough lady, but have you totally lost all your self-esteem? Time for a reality check on this character.
Weather check: Let it rain on Wisteria Lane. We don't need a season-ending tornado, but give the weather some reality and water the lawns.
