Mary Alice, What Did You Do?: A Desperate Housewives Recap

Welcome! In our very first instalment of MAWDYD, we go through the notorious pilot episode of Desperate Housewives. We – Erin and Jakub – have a lot to say about the inappropriate age we first watched the show, what it meant to us then and what it means to us now. Join us every Wednesday for Wisteria Lane’s fashion police, wild conspiracies, and which plot lines from the Pilot were immediately forgotten about by the writers and us.
