Catching up with Desperate Housewives

So, I finally saw the most recent episode of Desperate Housewives, which admittedly was in January. I'm certainly enjoying the show much more now that the creepy pharmacist is no longer in the picture, but I have to say: "I want to have a baby... I want to have YOUR baby." umm, when did we go from whimsical nighttime drama to vaseline lens soap opera?
