Well if you knew what a cliff hanger was, then you would understand the desperate house wives remark. I have to sit through it every sunday night with my wife(I watch it too, but don't want her to know that) and I can't think of a better T.V. show, when it comes to cliff hangers. Maybe if Dallas were still on air.
Does Jon and Kate keep you on the edge of your seat til the next episode airs? I don't watch it, so I don't know.
