Thanks. Not only will this give me a reason to start rewatching Desperate Housewifes, but more Neal on a regular basis. That deserves a squee. *Squee!*

gah! am i going to have to watch this now?!?! first Nathan, now Neal? *sigh*

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

To see Neal every week is a good thing. :D

But, gah...Desperate Housewives? Well, it is a mega hit show so he'll get exposure to a bigger audience and that's good for him. :D

Hehe...

When I told my mom, she said: "Why are you lowering yourself, Neal?"...my mom HATES Desperate Housewives and so do I.

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

LOL!

well, i'm not watching any summer reruns - it's opposite "In Plain Sight" - which i'm enjoying. :D

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

My mom likes Neal because he grew up near where she did, she's biased towards fellow Bostonians. *snerk*

I won't start watching until he's on.

In Plain Sight has one of the actors from The Invisible Man on it...Paul Ben-Victor. YAY!

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

hehehe cool!

annnd.... In Plain Sight, the second episode had an interesting guest star - Vincent Ventresca! *hee*

It's like "NOOOOOOO! I have to start watching Desperate Housewives again."

The things we do for Neal.

The things we do for Neal.

Yep. :)

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

I know...and I MISSED IT!!

*head desk*

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

i'm sure it'll be on again.... eventually....

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll have to keep an eye on it.

[diesa-j.livejournal.com]

Iheard about this last night and was like why that show could have been show I do watch but he joins the cast of a show I have never seen and dont really want to watch. Oh well maybe it wont be to bad. I just dislike soap operas

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

I'm just surprised he would choose this show of all the ones out there. *shrugs*

I'll be watching it too, just for Neal. :D

[diesa-j.livejournal.com]

Yeah it is shocking that this would be ashoe he would join with his "policy" i guess you could call it. My househole has already said they dont care who is on it it wont be watched in this house guess i will have to get me a little tv to put on my desk.

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

cool. :D

[saniz.livejournal.com]

I dont really like DH, but I might have to watch it only for Neal. One good thing is that he will get more exposure and hopefully land another show of his own.

[goflo.livejournal.com]

Noooooo! I freaking hate Desperate Housewives! Neal is too good for that show! UGH! I can't imagine how they got him to sign on! Its not really in character for him, since the show is kinda trashy. I doubt he'll do any kind of love scene stuff, but that's basically what the show is about! So I don't get it! Why NEAL!???? WHY???!! I'll watch for him, but definately not regularly. :(

[angeakurei.livejournal.com]

One thing: OMG. WHAT?

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

The news seems to popping up on the internet. I'll have to watch ET to see if they do a report on it. I have a feeling they will.

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

I don't like the show either, but it is a hit. I'm just hoping he gets the exposure he deserves, just wished he could have found it somewhere else.

*sigh*

Still, I hope the best for him. Now we'll have to share him with a bigger audience. :p

[goflo.livejournal.com]

I do think its for exposure purposes. But there's always Law & Order!!! He could have dont that! At least those shows are awesome and always looking for new faces. :(

OH NEAL! :(

[thecricket.livejournal.com]

I found a tiny bit more info about Neal's part on DH here (http://saunders-report.blogspot.com/2008/06/neal-mcdonough-joins-wisteria-lane.html).

It seems he might be a little off his rocker...

Well the character might be at least, though I know some of us are questioning his sanity for even signing on to the show. :)

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

Neal seems to enjoy playing these off-the-wall characters.

I found this (http://spoilertv-desperatehousewives.blogspot.com/2008/06/episode-501-episode-info.html) last night, which pretty much supports the site you linked to.

[thecricket.livejournal.com]

TBH, I couldn't imagine him going for a part on DH unless he's playing a character that really interests him. I mean the man can't be that hard up for a job, he's got two movies coming out soon-ish. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt here and trust his judgment on this one. If it's enjoyable enough role for him to take, it should be be fun for us to watch.

[goflo.livejournal.com]

Neal has said he only takes roles if the character is very interesting. So maybe he saw potential in this one. **sigh** I'm hoping it will be good. Maybe he can make the show watchable. I keep forgetting that its meant to be a comedy.

[thecricket.livejournal.com]

If anyone can make DH watchable, it's Neal. While I'm skeptical about it, I'm going to try to watch with an open mind. And at the very least we'll get to see our guy regularly for a while, even if we have to mute the tv when he's not onscreen. ;)

Also, I'm excited for getting new screencaps and promo pics to make graphics with!

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

Same here, I believe he has reasons for taking this part. If that's his part, it sounds very interesting.

The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to get excited about seeing him on TV again each week.

[distortedmirror.livejournal.com]

Gah...I love the man to death but I wish it would have been another show. Probably going to be one of those things I rent off Netflix the day I can sign up for it and utilize that fast forward button.

[rchelsea2005.livejournal.com]

I think I'm going to vomit.

*swallows pride* Nice to know he's being recognized for his talent.

(*mumbling in background* Damn it.)

I'm trying to be happy. Really. Trying hard.

[feldspars.livejournal.com]

I've been toying with the idea of watching this show. I know it's going to be bad, but it's a mega hit so... it can't be ALL bad, right? And now that Neal is going to be on I kinda need to know what's going on plot wise. Oh sigh.
