Footballers' Wives premieres tonight on BBC America
Who's gotten bored with Desperate Housewives this year? Okay, that's a dumb
question... the sophomore effort of DH has been a waste of time if you ask most folks. But columnist Tim Goodman over at the San
Francisco Chronicle knows precisely what's missing: not enough strap-on sex toys. And that's where the new
season of Footballers' Wives leaves DH in the dust. The third season (four have been made) of the show has finally made it to BBC
America and it premieres tonight at 10 PM.
I'd never heard of it but I'm glad I did because it sounds horribly addicting. I checked out the show's website and the flash opening immediately slaps you with the audio tagline, "Sex. Lies. Murder. Everyone plays dirty, don't you?" Now that sounds like good television. Upon further reading of Goodman's column, the show incorporates all aspects of TV that make a show into a televised bachelor party: breasts, butts, a Thai vacation, gangs, copious amounts of alcohol, and did I mention the sex toys? I mean, just look at the DVD sleeve from season one. This show sounds great, and as Goodman points out, it might make a better pairing with Grey's Anatomy... although they are on at the same time. I'm sure you and your TiVo can figure it out.
