Desperate Housewives is one of the greatest television shows ever produced. Not just another B-grade dramedy; it's the perfect balance of rom com, drama, and pantomime. Incredibly, there is a moral philosophy that runs through the show, specifically in terms of the relationships presented. One relationship in particular caught my fascination while binge watching all eight seasons. Gosh, I learnt a lot...

=========================
On a side note TV was just better back then. Travel channel was about travel, Animal Channel was about animals and same with History and Discovery. Late 90s and early 2000s was the last era I had much optimistic hope for the future.
Also videogames were better
Food network had actual home recipes instead of competitions and Guy Fieri on every freakin' half-hour!
"Don't emasculate your husband" - That seems like it should be fairly obvious. These should all be pretty obvious to someone who isn't self-absorbed and has a modicum of compassion and empathy. (I'm talking about he characters, not you.)
But . . . but . . . but Lorena Bobbitt emasculated her husband and everything worked out okay. Well, maybe not quite 100% okay but close enough. I will concede that John Bobbitt got the short end of the stick, as things worked out; but Lorena lived happily ever after . . . sort of. Best of all, the public around the world leaned the truth of the saying 'Heaven knows no rage like love to hatred turned; nor Hell a fury like a woman scorned.'
Even better don’t emasculate your son either!
I think a lot of women still do this when they are just trying to be helpful and don't realize that's what they are doing. An example I read in "for women only" is when a wife says to her husband "you aren't a handy man type, we should call a professional to fix that." You aren't giving him a chance he might want at fixing it and you basically tell him you have no confidence he can figure it out when he at least wants to try. We just don't want them wasting the time and trying to be practical but it might translate to "we don't think you are a good provider" possibly. It just goes into it more and gives some practical examples I think.
@@BleedingHeartsFade honestly I imagine that might happen to me in the future when I get married
@@BleedingHeartsFade If I were in that situation, I think it would greatly depend on her attitude and tone (as well as past experience with fixing things).
Omg, so exciting to hear you will be getting married.
I wish you all the best and pray for you to have a happy, healthy, and loving relationship ahead with many conservative kids 😁💖💖
Desperate Housewives was a great show. I loved how everyone tried to backstab and one up eachother. I loved how everyone had secrets that could destroy them. I loved the episode with the old lady who kept her dead husband in the freezer so she could keep getting his social security checks
Honestly Bree, Susan, and Gabby were not the kinds of friends the Scavos needed. They needed couple-with-kids friends from the time the twins were born. Friends to swap childcare so you can maintain your marriage and parent together (so your twins don't become little brats). I'm so grateful for the friends who have helped us and raised their kids alongside ours.
Congrats on your upcoming marriage. Hugs to the kitty!
A decade later, and the midlife crisis scene is still the best explanation I ever heard about midlife crisis in men.
The episode where Lynette lost her baby after saving Celia (Gabby’s daughter) during the plane crash was one of the most devastating I watched. When she dreams of what her child could have been, only to wake up realize that he is gone was heartbreaking.
Oh absolutely! That whole plotline was gut-wrenching.
This show is iconic! There was nothing like it when it came out, it was truly groundbreaking.
I really liked the episode that was narrated by Bree’s late husband, & focused on the husbands - I can’t remember if there was more than one, but I remember that one at least....
Rex. Yes, good episode. I loved Rex. There was, I believe, an episode narrated by Edie as well.
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. My husband and I will celebrate 27 years this August. The lessons you learned from Desperate Housewives are pretty solid.
Daisy, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I've been happily married for 30 years. We married as adults, as you are. As adults, we came together with a serious commitment that he through the years. This has influenced our friendship, love and marraige. I wish all the best and all the great learning that comes with the difficult. It adds to the richness. 💗 Edit: I had my babies young, them we raised a granddaughter from infancy. So I did it both ways. Pregnancy is way better young, however I think your a smarter parent if your a little older but not too much. Then you get over cautious. Don't ever lose the child in you!
When you have first child, you may change your mind.
I just had my 2nd, and a 3yo that absolutely loves his little sister.
My regret is that I didn’t have them sooner.
My 3yo was obsessed with 2 Tom Jobim songs, Then tarantela Napolitana & Funiculi Funicula, then 2 Abba songs, now he won’t stop listening to Africa from Toto. Definitely worth the occasional tantrums… 🥰🥰🥰
Well done Daisy!
I used to love desperate House Wives!
These 5 things are definitely important as someone who’s has been married and divorced. Competition isn’t always about income or being a good parent, sometimes it is about who is the most tired or sick or who had the worst day at work!
Resentment is the {emotion} that kills relationships and it builds for so many reasons but constant competition whether it is who’s the best or who’s the worst definitely leads to resentment. If you start to feel resentment figure out why and deal with it straight away, because that is what leads to punishing the other person, one upping the other person and absolutely nothing good comes from feeling resentment toward your partner.
I never finished watching the entire series. And never learned the mystery of why the narrator ended herself.
More Desperate Housewives and other older shows content please!
Yay! I should rewatch the OC lol, it's only four seasons so it wouldn't take long!
This is such a nostalgia trip.
"I really need to do some dusting." Same!
I think the bearer of those dusty eggs may in fact become a good mom.
Thanks for those kind words!
Another tip: Don’t assume your nearest and dearest always understands you. Ive been amazed how many times (when I did actually check) that the person who I thought i knew, and who knew me better than anyone else, had completely missed the point I was trying to make. That can get dangerous. Im not just talking about text messages either!
I'm a 70s child, seen many things, most of it absolutely amazing and lots of it absolutely dire
My Partner and I not long ago sat down and binge watched Desperate Housewives love it now as I did back then. Before we started season one my partner turned around and said your a mix of Gabrielle and Bree, Half way though watching season 4 I'm sitting there in shock cause I hate when he is right 🤣🤣
The truth hurts 😅
Congratulations on your engagement! I hope you both have the wedding, and marriage of your dreams! :)
Omg, you're so adorable when you talk to your cat and I just love you for it. Good lessons. Glad you enjoyed the show, but I don't expect to ever watch it. My mom did though.
I remember watching DH and it was definitely one of the better shows. I'm probably a heck of a lot older than most here I'm sure 😆 but I just wanted to say that we had our first baby one year after marriage, and have never regretted it. We ended up with seven AND I home schooled them.
That's awesome!
Dang! You’re like wonder woman!
I’m hoping I can homeschool my 2 as well.
Raising them bilingual, at home and at my mom’s it’s just Portuguese. I’m in the USA.
The beauty of this kind of shows is that it shows you mistakes people make on their relationship. Unfortunately not many are aware. How many of the women that looked at Lynette and got angry at her when she emasculate him or was a control freak. Without considering they do the same.
I’m not really a fan of DH or most dramas but I enjoyed your excitement and incite into it. Really great advice. Also your slow transition from cat talk to normal talk was funny and cute. 💘
Edit:
With the children one, everyone needs to know their personality and capabilities. Some people are awesome at managing many and some can only raise one or two amazing ones. Everyone needs to not over reach.
I love "Desperate Housewives", and I always will
At least once a year I binge watch 8 seasons over a course or week or a month (depending what I'm doing on my time off).
Peak of TV series. You cannot change my mind.
Agreed!
I enjoyed the video. The cat eating spiders isn't a problem in Canada. I forgot that you're Australian and Mother Nature did something horrible to the animals there. I fully suspect the cat eats the spiders before they get big enough to eat him.
As a father of 3, kids become your new hobby until they reach 8 years old. You get a grace period until they become moody teenagers.
Yes but you have bears in Canada! Bears! Big bears! At least the things that tear you limb from limb in Australia are limited to the water! Oh and the daddy long legs spiders where never going to hurt the poor puddy tat! I think you are much safer walking in the Australian bush than in the Canadian Rockies!
@@theunboiledfrog1258 Our mosquitoes might be big enough to move your truck but you've got a lot more venomous creatures there than we've got.
From what I understand even your reptiles have legs. We don't do that up here (that's just wrong)
@@theunboiledfrog1258 Bears are omnivores, except polar bears, and usually don't mess with humans unless we've got food. A Canadian bear is more likely to wreck your car going after the cooler than to hurt you personally.
Canadian here, our cat tries to catch, bat, and eat spiders all the time. They might not be as big as in Australia, but they definitely exist here (and should not be eaten! They provide many benefits to the household).
I loved Desperate Housewives and re-watched the series myself recently.
The one difference between my experience as a viewer recently and watching DH for the first time in 2005 was how it's first billed star played it's most unlikeable character, Susan Mayer.
Similar to how by re-watching Sex and the City years after it ended I became more conscious of Carrie's many flaws, I became more conscious of Susan's flaws. I don't want to write an essay, but one of the better characters, Edie Britt, summarised why Susan was so contemptible in this exchange in S2 E22:
Edie: "I'm sure you'll turn on the waterworks and the whole neighborhood will come running. They always do."
Susan: "That's not true."
Edie: "Sure it is. You never miss an opportunity to play the victim. And you think that because everyone comes running to your rescue, it means that you're loved. Well, it doesn't. It just means that you're helpless."
Good advice. And I loved the kitty interludes.
Good review on desperate housewives. Hit on quite a few of the themes of the show. One I found that I liked was the central theme of the show was love and forgiveness across the board with all relationships in the show. No matter what happened to any of these characters, they got mad, angry, upset but they moved on and forgave each other in the end and never stopped loving each other.
Yes, it's a lovely message!
From Judy in Australia 🇦🇺. Didn’t watch Desperate Housewives. Was too busy living my own life and the stickability of my own marriage. We’ve been together 50 years in December next year. Here’s my tips. 1. Before marriage find someone who is a friend, has similar attitudes to money, children, religion, love, and whatever core beliefs (the vital to you ones) you hold. 2. Take them for a day at the beach - you’re finding out what’s artificial/real and their attitude when tired and grumpy. 3. After marriage, don’t take too long to have children. You’ll never have enough money, and what’s more important is having the love time and energy for them. I recommend at least 2 fairly close together. There’s a reason why two and approx 2 years apart works well. 4. When you argue, always recall why you married in the first place. Never go home to mother and spill the beans on why you’re arguing to your family. You might get it off your chest, but you’ll move on and your family don’t cause you never tell them it’s resolved. 5. From time to time, deliberately recall your wedding day and the positive feelings you had on that day. 6. Make time for each other regularly and often. Anniversaries are a great time to relive the day with photos videos and reminiscing discussions.
Finally, congratulations Daisy! May you have as long and happy a marriage as I have and may God bless you as much as he has us!
Thanks for the lovely words! God bless you too!
I was quite anxious at 11:00 that Rafita would become the cat knocking things off the shelf that we all know and love/fear. 😅
15:11 was brilliant editing. 😆👌👌👌
A lot of these writers of these shows wrote from experience or what they have seen from others.
I love, love, love this episode it was great; Rafita made an appearance, ate a spider, and Daisy mentioned her dusty eggs. You should do a live stream with Seamus for an Out of Frame discussion, that could be interesting.
I was busy rearing up my kids to see much of Desperate Housewives, yet I liked the few I got to see. Brightest blessings on your upcoming nuptials, Daisy..❤️
Can I suggest an edit for Lesson Five?
"Don't have more kids than you can handle." This would depend on each families circumstances and ability.
During that time in the 00’s, I was actually watching LOST (as most teenage boys did) I remember both shows were both on channel 7 back then 😀 I might have to rewatch it at some point now that I am an adult 😀
I loved Lost so much when it first aired. Both these shows as well as the still running show "Grey's Anatomy" changed the course of TV. I am glad Desperate Housewives and Lost ended when they wanted to on their own terms. We've seen how greedy ABC was and how desperate they were to milk the two shows for everything they have even trying to force the show's writers to run it as long as it can.
It’s not how many kids you have, it is how close you have them together. As one who has 4 at 2 years apart that can cause the most exhausting experience. Spoil each other not the kids.
I think you are right is saying people should be mindful regarding the size of their families. Surprisingly, this concept is dealt with in Humanae Vitae, the document Pope Paul VI wrote about family and birth control.
When I met Teri Hatcher I was with my mum, and I was at a Supanova comic convention. Her and my mum got along with with the stories from the 90s. And thence I just stood there like a prop.
So desperate Housewives is your type of Nuclear ☢️ family. I will make a note of it. 📝
Congratulations!! I do love your outfit!♥️
I actually loved the Gabby/Carlos relationship... But speaking about Tom and Lynette... I hated Tom's rebound girlfriend during the season 8 separation. I really hated how rebound treated Lynette, especially when she tried to force Lynette to sign divorce papers on hers and Tom's wedding anniversary. I cheered when Tom dropped rebound for Lynette and told. Rebound that was in love with Lynette.
Yes I was rooting for them to get back together sooooo bad!!
Daisy’s ‘kitty voice’ // That is all 🙃
Screw tube is not giving me notifications today on anything. Including this one. I'm just swiping the subscription tab. Anyone else?
no, surprisingly i got the notif.
It's time to start covering the audit
You make me feel nostalgic..my eldest daughter was born in ‘91
And is 29., she (and I) were addicted to it.. she also was addicted also to OC and the Kardashians.. we only had one TV so I watched what she watched.. I gritted my teeth at the last 2 I’ve mentioned but I really liked Desperate Housewives. But lost interest about Series 6. I thought they can’t possibly twist the plot anymore.,. But they did ???😂
But my daughter hung in ‘til
the end! She didn’t learn lesson 2.. she’s an absolute control
Freak!
I think yr. “life lessons” of the show are excellent.. you obviously think about things.. a lot.., I was never sure I wanted children (for many reasons one of which was marrying v late in life coz I had a job in the Diplomatic Corp and was always on overseas postings .. not good for a relationship ) however decided to
Have a child around 40, had my daughter at 41 and my son at nearly 43.,, cld not have any more after that., I did miscarry with twins at 3 months.
I don’t have regrets in life ., no point., but having said that my only regret is I didn’t stop
traveling/working earlier coz I wldve have had at least four.
Children aren’t hard work, they are a joy., I went to full time university when I was 45 (with 2 young kids plus did a part time job at a newspaper at night proofreading) and trained as a high school teacher ..
So my advice., not that you
Need any., is have a child when you deem is right time., and try it., you may just like it or you may not., but children/family are forever.,.. careers can be changed. It’s an individual choice.
Thanks for the advice!
Wouldn't the last lesson be better as "Consider how many children you're emotionally, spiritually, and practically capable of handling"? Telling people to not have too many kids is very dependant on the individual person.
Instead of don't have too many kids, how about something more like don't have more kids than you can handle. I have a friend who is pregnant with her seventh child. She is so dedicated to those children and she makes sure that she has time for each one of them. At the same time, I doubt I could handle more than 3...
There's so much more lol... I've watched this series literally over 50 times not gunna lie. I watch it with someone every year at least 3 times no one has ever disliked it and as someone who lived suburban life this is legit. By season 3 I have had over 200 life lessons 🤣🤣🤣...
That was awesome :D Yes. I'd love to hear the life lessons!
❤❤❤❤❤ you rock girl!
Remember tom was in Melrose place a Beverley hills 90210 spinoff
I never watched it but my father use to watch it and his girlfriend watched it and they would then talk on the phone about it.
I remember sometimes having dinner out with dad and he’d say “ desperate housewives is on tonight” and I knew that was code for let’s eat and also make sure I don’t miss it. I vaguely remember asking why he watched a chick show and he said the story is good and real things happen.
I was more into sci fi or horror stuff and later Dexter. 😂
The way I would put your statement about kids is this: Don't have too many kids, for you. There are people who can handle 5-6 kids (I know people who have that, hell I had two sisters who were friends in high school and their parents had 7 kids total, 4 biologically and three were adopted) but that isn't for everyone. So make sure you're having the number of kids that you can handle mentally and emotionally. Personally, I think I could do three and be alright, but four or five would probably be too many.
That was a brilliant video. Thank you for starting up the second channel love the content.
Thanks so much!
I am a male and liked the show in my adolescence as well. I kinda found it a bit weird that I did, but oh well...
Edit: also, do not be so afraid to offend, one small mention is enough.
Love your comments daisy
Now I need to watch Desperate house wives.
Not offended at all , and i fathered five children!
Ten years later, Daisy mother of 5……..telling her children about “desperate housewives “
Do not wait until midlife crisis, grab a guitar and sing.
Now waiting for the comments of the song Daisy should sing 🎤
Park this here for now... Headington Hill Hall. Which used to be owned by Robert Maxwell. I never realised that Gislaine was his daughter until 3 hours ago. I worked near there. And now all of this (including things which people might think are not connected). What is going on here? . I've given you the name of the Hall : start there.
Loved deseperate housewives I just finished and yes tom and Lynette so much happend and your life lessons were on point
I just started watching it even though I was never planning to because I had to kill time and now I am hooked lol
I never watched it. But I did know some of what happened from the culture at large. The only thing I remember is that Eva Longoria was in it.
Those five rules sound good advice
Should do a live stream going thru the series
Loving your more personal channel, Daisy!
So so great! Where is your dress from please? #inspiration ✨
I came here for life lessons, but stayed for the cat. :)
Loved this show. Also you should probably do a skincare routine video and share how you look so pretty girl xx
Thanks heaps!
My whole family's basically watched this show up to like 5 times now😐
“I fixated on it outside of my watching time.”
shippers: *first time?*
edit: the cat is a v welcome surprise
Your cat reminds me of my old cat Jynx. Same fur pattern and color. Was a long hair American bobtail/Pixiebob
The cat is the star of channel
13:00 Kitty! :)
Teri Hatcher was Penny Parker on MacGuyver in 1985. I think Teri Hatcher was in Desperate House wives ... Idk... Just trying to relate some how, meet me halfway?
The daisy i cant believe this is beack on tv TV Amazon i think. I remember that episode with advertising dinner party
Edie Britt was my favourite Wife. 💕
Just realise that not having too many kids is not necessarily the same thing as having no kids...
My mum had her last kid at 44 years old Daisy. My sister Annabelle a healthy little firey Red Head 🔥 🥚 don’t worry you’ll be fine. Mo chuisle. Keep your guard and chin up. 🙂❤️
good advice
Is that your Pop-Art dress 👗 Daisy with a new cardigan? 🙂❤️🌸
I was married and had kids when this show came out. So someone watching it as a young person makes me feel old. Maybe I should have a midlife crisis to celebrate.
Relationships where the female partner earns more seldom work. Not because men are "emasculated" or feel inferior, but because women lose respect for men who are less successful than them. It's an almost inevitable biological reaction. Sad but true.
another word for spider is food, but then again in Australia, who is the food is a legit question
An unexpected pregnancy from a one night stand turning out to be a psychopath, the child, not the one night stand……LMAO.
Do battle with the flowers. Lol
🎸 you are a Cancer ♋️ Calum ♍️ Virgo and Cancer are totally 💯 compatible with each other ⭐️…. Yes punish our enemies. 🍎
Yes, don’t explode 🤯 the bank 🏦 with kids! Kids with cost 💲 you your savings your inheritance your license to drive your university fees and your career. Keep it small and sensible. My mum had ten kids and three miscarriages two military careers and owned a house 🏡 worth two million dollars on 23 acreage with 16 horses. It was insane!!!
A Tan and a Pencil moustache 😁❤️ Look more like Gomaz Addams. 💃🕺
I MEET Teri Hatcher! I LOVED DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES! 😀
Faux pas : met.
build love 20+ times monthly
by making it like your childrens'
happiness depends on it... make 4+
more one-flesh versions of each other
so youll have a real world reason for
staying together despite all other flaws
-- BY THE TIME YOU REALIZE HOW
GRANDKIDS ARE THE ULTIMATE GOAL
ITLL BE TOO LATE TO IMPROVE YOUR ODDS
I would build upon the last life lesson:
Don't have more children than you feel prepared to have
Hello daisy have you thought about doing comedy reactions videos for your new channel loving the new channel ❤️
What might your first book review be?
I never got into the show, of course I was much older when it originally aired. I just remember thinking how ludicrous these characters all were.
They are absolute pantomime lol.
Your cat stole the show today, Daisy. And perhaps it is time to dust if spiders have settled.
Same in the 1970s
no idea?
I'd love to see a video of your time dancing with the Wiggles.
Hahaha oh good idea! The footage is out there somewhere!
"Watching this as a kid in the 2000's."
Ok. Hold up there, jailbait. How the heck old ARE you, anyway? I graduated high school IN 2000. So, way to make me feel like a dinosaur!
Pre-marriage training: Alison Armstrong.
Daisy Cousens living in Wisteria Lane. I would love that, I would pay $32 dollars admission to see you, Lauren Southern, Sydney Watson, Alexandra Marshall, Laura Chen. Trying to make the phrase Happily Ever After a Murder Mystery. 🏰 heheheh 😈 Encore!
