After a hiatus due to the writers’ strike, Desperate Housewives is back. The antics of the women of Wisteria Lane continue with the usual angst, drama, and secrets. Although the last show before the break in episodes featured a major tornado striking Fairview, the show resumed with most of the debris cleared away and damage repaired.

My son's favorite show in the whole world is "The Little Einsteins". He will sit in rapt attention from the opening song to the finishing credits and then ask to watch it again. All I can say is thank goodness for DVR and all the episodes that are already out on DVD.
