Review: Desperate Housewives S06E18 - My Two Young Men

What to do with perfectly good food? How to out yourself to thy neighbors? Am I replacing my son with my dead-husbands bastard? Is selling chocolate at a I-survived-cancer party OK? All of these questions (and more) could've made up for much more interesting documentary's than Sunday's installment of Desperate Housewives. In an episode that exceeded every expectation of the show's capability of not just stopping progress, but actually get stuck in lame-story land and reside their until future notice...

Because it really was that unoriginal. Every show has it's fillers, but to have same stories being melted into something completely useless resulting in no satisfying end at all, well, that's just waisting prime time. Imagine all the Hallmark movies that could've shown housewives doing useful stuff?
In 'My Two Young Men' Lynette continues to question her sons relationship with the blonde bimbo from Europe, just like she did last week. Only now, there's a unrealistic talk about sex, coldest ready-for-diner sauce in history and a stupid move.
Meanwhile, Susan and Gaby battle through their children again when both have reasons for their kids to sell the most chocolate bars. Resulting in some not-so-hilarious scenes in which these desperate housewives sink low, and learn nothing.
Bree is still dealing with Sam coming into her life and Andrew is still mad. Nothing changed there.

Basically, anyone could've skipped this episode and be perfectly up to date next week, except that one couple is leaving the lane, and a bad guy has come (again) looking mysteriously in his rear window (not. scary.). The only thing that made this episode bearable? Let me get back to you next week for that one.
