I didn’t watch the other seasons, but I was able to have lots of fun watching this fourth season alone, though it must be best to watch all the rest. The episodes were sometimes amusing and sometimes moving, so I wasn’t bored at all until I finished the last episode.
Susan is the most amusing, as she often makes too much of how she appears to her neighbors, often falling flat. Though, among the characters Tom is the greatest to me, because he loves his wife Lynette very much, and though he might sometimes be a little emotional, that’s an element that makes us emotional, too, often by moving us. He’s the image of an ideal husband.
Many things that happen in this soap opera seem impossible, but you’ll be able to experience many such lives, thus having as many catharses.
