Kiss Them Goodbye

This time of the year is always the most joyful one; when the new season of Desperate Housewives begins. But this time I feel sad; the last season premieres today.


Although I'm able to watch it only on Mondays a day later than in US, it doesn't matter, since it's on Finnish channel on Mondays. But I can't believe how I've spent almost a decade with the people of Wisteria Lane. Every year we wonder who is the new neighbor moving in and what secrets will be uncovered now. The 7th season wasn't that good drama-wise, but it still managed to entertain with its humor.

I started watching Desperate Housewives when I started high school. There was a lot of promotion on the streets and on TV. Must say that they have one of the best promos ever. And the first episode got me hooked immediately. I remember my mother complaining how I could watch a show like that, where right on the first seconds someone kills herself. And it being so immoral. First of all, I'm not the only one who got hooked on the show, my brother did too. Second, why was I allowed to watch Bold and The Beautiful at a very young age? And third, guess who started enjoying the show later on.

When your mother notices you're a fan of something, then you are. This happened a few years ago, when I tended to arrive exactly 9pm home after floorball practice to watch Desperate Housewives. But once I missed the bus, and it was already some minutes after 9, my mother gave me a call sick worried. Yup.

It might not be the end of the world when this amazing show ends, since there are a lot of good shows on TV nowadays. But with them I haven't developed a proper relationship, and I haven't been with them right from the beginning, and don't know how long will they last.. Okey, maybe it might be the end of the world.
