Lovely Nicollette Sheridan is no longer on Desperate Housewives! Oh NOOO! Okay, I don't watch the show, but I can't help but watch Nicollette Sheridan whenever I'm channel surfing. She is eminently watchable, and I've usually stopped to watch the show from time to time whenever she's been on. Then sometimes I watch long enough and Eva Longoria Parker appears, and then I ask myself... what am I watching this tripe for?
I've never really been able to understand the allure of the show, well Eva and Nicollette notwithstanding, because it strikes me as a soap opera, albet with some humerous moments thrown in. It seems they work just too hard trying to be funny, witty etc on Desperate Housewives. It seems to have been on the air forever and I've never really been the least bit interested in the comings and goings of Wysteria Lane (is that the street they all live on?) or cared one whit about the story lines. This was the same as other much beloved "dramas" that I thankfully have avoided like Knots Landing, Melrose Place (although Courtney Thorne-Smith was yummy on Allie McBeal and According to Jim, I couldn't fathom they urgency that all the girls at work would discuss these shows).
So, although I don't mourn her character "Edie Britt", I will miss catching Sheridan when I'm flipping through channels. She does have an impressive body... of work, and has been on and off television since 1984's Paper Dolls and apparently she was in Knots Landing for 179 episodes. She has been on Desperate Housewives for 113 episodes and I'm sure that there'll be another series waiting in the wings for the hot mid-40s-something actress. I'll look forward to spotting her again and having her force me to linger momentarily while I look for something good to watch. Meanwhile, the "Wives" will have to crank it up a notch and maybe bring in some new blood to fill her void.
