I Watch A Lot Of TV

Not really what I want to watch - but whatever each elderly lady I happen to be checking in on happens to be watching.
One of the shows I catch is Desperate Housewives.
I saw the first episode and thought, "WTF?".
I had hoped that it was a modern version of David Lynch's Twin Peaks.
Maybe it is, but mixed with a little Sex in the City.
It's a chick show but still kind of funny.
All of the elderly ladies were excited when the show added someone of a darker hue in Alfre Woodard.
But this choice never made sense to me.
Ms Woodard isn't really that ugly but she never seemed to fit in with the rest of the show's cast.

Ms Woodard just lacked the glamour of the rest of the women on the show.
Ms Woodard just came across as a token.

Since the demise of Ugly Betty - Vanessa Williams has become free to pursue other offers.
Vanessa Williams on Desperate Housewives?
Yeah... now that's a good fit.
