Housewives FAIL

The disconnected poorly-planned wide variety of story lines on Desperate Housewives are always soapy and ridiculous, but rarely do they have any connection to real world current events — until now.

Yes, the effects of our current economic apocalypse have begun to hit Wisteria Lane: Just look at Tom and Lynette who had to sell their pizzeria after seven years in business, and Susan who was actually forced to leave her house and get a “real job.”

But here’s my question:

Beginning this season, didn’t the show jump ahead five years? The goings-on in Fairview are technically taking place in 2014, so why are they just beginning to suffer financial woes? Was this merely the result of some absent-minded writers, or is it a grim prediction of the recession’s longevity? And more importantly, how did they survive the end of the Mayan calendar?!

Housewives… FAIL
