I was never a fan. The jokes were a little too obvious for my taste and the love triangles were really annoying. It isn't anything like desperate housewives.

There are some similarities. Women who are so skinny they look as if they're about to keel over, and year-round, fake-looking tans.

Good point. And I think one of the Desperate housewives characters has a kind of "Rachel" haircut. Remember those?

How I could I forget them? So annoying. My favorite thing about that show is that they're living in the most amazing apartment ever, and they're always either there or having coffee. One is a chef (an extremely demanding job) who always appears to be available day and night to hang out. I always assumed she cooked telepathically.

My other favorite thing about the show was trying to spot all of the work the women had done during their run.

No need to buy the whole series. You can find links to all the shows online:

Try: videolemon.com and ovguide.com

Those sites will give you lots of locations to find them--it includes tudou and surfthechannel.com, etc....

It's different then desperate housewives. At the time the show was running everyone was a big fan of it-all ages. It is a funny and great show to watch. If you go to ebay then you might get a good deal.

I liked it a lot until I got more frum...and older...and then it just annoyed me.

This is a show that basically started when I was a freshman in hs and ended right around when I finished grad school. Yes I watched the last episode. I don't know what to say about it now. I know I thought it was funny in the earlier half, and the last couple years annoying, but maybe that's just bc I found different things funny/annoying at that pivotal time in my life.

I liked Friends a lot. It was pretty much a classic, super-popular show.

Correct, but I believe third line is "your love life's D.O.A.'

I agree. I liked it when I was in high school, but not anymore. I mainly only watched it then because it was one of only 3 shows we watched at my dorm.
