This week on Desperate Housewives, Susan's boss taught her a lezzin', Lynette "went to work" for Gaby, Bree did her best to cover Orson's tracks, and Edie dug up some (but not quite enough) dirt on Dave. I'm Matt Mitovich, your guestcapper.
Will Susan Be Jessie's Girl?
Susan's making a go of it in her job as an art teacher's assistant at MJ's private school, trying to be "creative" in her lesson plans. Alas, her boss (guest star Swoosie Kurtz) is not impressed by her "crayons-on" approach.

Another Wednesday, another delightful episode.Poor Ned. It looks like hes gone through most of his life being lonely. After he discovered his "gift," he kind of lost touch with people. Sensing something is amiss with Ned, Digby sets off to find him, but he somehow knows he and Ned arent allowed to touch. The only reason Im willing to go along with this little leap in logic is because this show is a fantasy. Well, thats not the only reason. I dont really have a problem with Digby being an extremely smart doggie who is able to infer "the rules" of Neds gift, but I did think wed get a little more on how Digbys managed to stay so youthful all these years.

In the apartment, Chuck and Ned have a near-miss touching incident that leads...

Nearly five months passed between the time I got my first look at the miraculous Pushing Daisies pilot and the second episode. It was worth the wait. I am officially in love.Flashback (I wish I could count back the days, hours, minutes and seconds as precisely as Jim Dale does in his spot-on narration): Its the week before the network upfronts in May, and Im in Los Angeles working on the TV Guide Networks Americas Next Producer show when a studio exec not even associated with Pushing Daisies leaks me a copy of the pilot, which Id heard was good but had no idea was THIS good. From the moment I saw it, I was enchanted and could only hope that fellow critics and viewers with open minds and open hearts would share my enthusiasm. I was also so satisfied by what Id seen that I couldnt help wondering if theyd be able to pull it off on a weekly basis.Flash to the second week of October, and in brilliant high definition, I watch the second epis...
