The Ladies of Wysteria Lane

So, I tried to do some research on different blogs of Desperate Housewives, but all I could seem to find were summaries, tv listings, character descriptions, gossip about the actresses, and things of that sort. I could not find, however, some opinions on anything to do with the topic of courtship (which, of course, is what I was trying to find). If you guys know of any, please let me know. So for now, I am just going to write about my own observations from watching the show and opinions about different aspects of it relating to the topic of courtship and love.

First of all, this show is made up of 5 different main characters (all women) that live on the street of Wysteria Lane. The title of the show pretty much sums up what they are, desperate housewives, but they are truly very different in every aspect of their personalities and behaviors, including their views on love and courtship. They have all gone through their share of relationships on the show, which at times can be a bit over the top and unrealistic, but they are very entertaining and show an exaggerated view of what real people experience. The differences in their personalities is part of what draws people to the show, because the variety gives more of a chance for people to relate to at least one or more of the characters.

I haven't watched the show but from what I've seen every character is an over-exaggerated version of a suburbian monther today...bored, deceiving and, well, desperate.

Actually I have seen the show and I think that at least the first season was extremely good. I'm not sure how you're going to connect the show with courtship but I guess we'll see where it goes.
