Desperate Housewives Dana from Sports Night slums it in a neighborhood full of bitches led by Seinfeld's old girlfriend Lois Lane, whose breasts may still be real (and spectacular) but chances are they're the only part of her that is. There's also a very sharp-looking red-haired woman who was rumored to be a lesbian, maybe because she comes off as way too cool for any man. Everyone spends most of their time having affairs and burning each others' houses down, the new millenium equivalent of pushing someone into the swimming pool.
The OC Rich people take in a troubled teen, I think? In the garish, oversaturated world of Orange County, there's a guy who looks like David Duchovny's son, and another guy who looks kind of Xander-ish, and they have a turbulent co-dependent relationship that's easy to read as Big Gay Love. Somewhere in there, Mischa Barton exists.
Studio 60 Aaron Sorkin retreads Sports Night, only now the characters aren't making a sports show, they're making a sketch comedy show. Sketch comedy being considerably harder to write than genial sports blather, Sorkin is not enjoying quite his usual level of slobbering critical acclaim this time around. Awww. Features Chandler from Friends and a female executive character, who probably walk around a studio set a lot while they exchange self-consciously brisk dialogue. All I can say is, where's Josh Charles? Sorkin shows just don't suck me in without Josh Charles.
Smallville Clark Kent is super-gay and wants Lex Luthor bad. Clark tends to get tied up and rip his shirt a lot, probably in a series of bids for Lex's sexy bald attention. If this show has plots or any use of Clark's Superman powers at all, I've never heard about it.
