I can’t pinpoint why I’ve never seen an episode of “Desperate Housewives,” but I’ve got a theory: the title of the show contains two of my least favorite things.Andrea Bowen plays Teri Hatcher’s daughter on the show, and while I assume her TV family is even more dysfunctional than my real family, it sure ain’t art imitating life.
Andrea lives in the guest house behind her family’s home, which we walked through on our way to record her. Her fellow-actor brothers and sisters were well-adjusted and sweet. Her parents put hors d’oeuvres in our hands as we passed. The place smelled like Christmas.
I’m Fedexing the adoption papers over there in the morning. Nice knowing you, mom.
