of housewives and terrorists
It was time to stop following Desperate Housewives, the recent hyped up TV series of topsy-turveydom family values from across the Atlantic, I thought. None of these characters appealed to me, at least Samantha Jones in SATC was comical, but these bored women only know how to sit at home waiting for their husbands to come back; this is the sort of lifestyle I loathe. Either that, or they do go out but appear as brainless shopaholics exemplified by Gabrielle. On a different note, 24's Jack Bauer is getting sexier every minute. It's not hard to understand that both Bauer and his girlfriend have obtained degrees in English lit., which proves that we people are specially trained for intelligent services to save the world. I'm also starting to worry about the portrayal of Muslims in the series. I suppose the Americans are already not liking the Middle Eastern people very much, and now the scary Araz family in 24... Quite frankly speaking, for someone like me who doesn't know much about Muslim culture, after watching this show I might consider fundamentalists a majority? What I'd suggest is a brighter, happier sitcom centred on one American Muslim family. Like back in the 'old' days, when there were Bill Crosby and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (urgh, ugly outfits) to somewhat change our stereotypical views of the blacks.
