lies that's not really are very attractive trait and one n in our somebody's had problems with alcohol if you look great that's a big deal and i think executives and television were the buttons that push because those work traditionally male traits denouncing alone and cheers had come into the bar is a recovering alcoholic why he had the same thing apply to a woman what cbs said that they would like instead of her being a fourteen-year-old who was just com coming from the foreign wouldn't she be a thirty-year-old would just come back from a small brings him it's not sources are saying is the

realistic representation of the mother had ever seen on television it was a woman who couldn't necessarily hold on to job and physically resemblances related this is the state of being trailed midwestern housewife everybody knows that women going that was never on tv that something that like this to everyone there on television dot instance is so important every detail about it spoke

my character said back to roseanne the dabbled here to be able to allow you know than other character just say that to your character knowing full well date you are your character i don't know who

is big star but individual parts he still was the person struggling provide it leave you a copy of the and cap eight just proves that she's been panicked and called colonie was worry a lot of things that they are trying to make sense and buying making funny on television there's so many red flags here for a network we put somebody like that and tv it's over off and interesting and we're not eyecandy for male viewers i can't think of it as show that that pulled off something that impossible i really want to show that they need to a different milton beneath that no k hasn't been a fat theory unemployed in contemporary still okay sums you have honesty and integrity some measurement intelligence it's all okay what is an okay is to be ok with how bad things are just to throw some nineteen may nine the east that's fine so i don't know what you're up to a television is great celebrating almost half the time you watch it watch it emerge with a thirty minute television show based on the twenty two minutes and twenty minutes later the mclaughlin pieces of business and it is a business that we are there to uh on broadcast television too to sell products in america stop yuo pride realistic allotted the executives in regular network television they are tied to advertisers has a lot of fear don't building was really the soap products so shows that you made worse things that would disturb you too much or make you think too much more repatriation that much pay cable is not worried about that they want interest at once once you can stop worrying about getting twenty million people to watch a show then you have a lot more uh flexibility cancer nationally for intentions system with his friends on broadcast that people does it have that we fight against if you're getting you know eighty five percent of the revenue from subscriber fees you're not concerned about what advertising is you're not really concerned about your rating about cable that really help the television business is it it does represent freedom there's an inherent understanding that people there's less restrictions i don't think that that makes great programs we understand that were not here to serve the mass will do the best we can to give something that's report you or and let's hope the people come and binding we can't compete with that i had come from do a lot of network television that's all right well i wanted to do the network tv equivalent of the independent film and it was collected sexual relationships in a way no television comedy had ever looked at them and would never be able to complete didn't have to answer that but i do know is that we didn't have to respond to nielsen ratings and worry about thanks for the challenge of critical fly carrie was having sexually without a woman was having sex with a number of different men unapologetically and you would think she was a bit rh of china first of its worth mary tyler moore she's a television the seventies carry was going to be sort of america or more for enough in the morning she's one of the ultimate independent women living in new york when i say listen it's a day that was our final simplified pan african women who have less money and how does next month food so surprised how many people thousands of women on the street instead this is my life this is how are you communicated my girlfriend slideshare my legislative women friends anyway is the most exciting about sixty seven dash at loved by the way is that it that focus on the friendships and the strength of the friendships on dev relationship between as for women is always paramount regardless of its happening a continent as simply as a hard as i think that the sometimes mentioned to him in lincolnshire such as you know yes says that's right now don't stop just like that come on nonstop but emails cleaning eradicate frankly calculations back to me south really revolutionary in the past a lot of nelson justifies women in this case we were always object to find them if they didn't even have names industry this semester that they can do what they were very disposable highly stuff at fifteen and sixteen mon home and we don't get to see much there is a brief introduction trousers are us artificial daughter but she has you know sort of uh talking smack about called women an explicitly is just would not be fun we never explicitly shows these political never reward that some persons i think it was the first that's because boomers' trying to keep the worst mister i think he's done a few social statement through figured out what was going to find it and brown was influenced by the division of my sex in the city those women told each other everything and my experience with women is that no one of them will share a lot but pale giveaway everything that these women are gonna be desperate it's because they can share lives i wanted a very pretty universe so that's the kind of jerry dark with the goings on would have a lovely pastel background you never know what's happening behind closed doors never know what's really going on from here couple of months before i came up with the idea of desperate housewives i went to a reunion one of my friends as this in our view on that and sell the just won't be in a mom conventions that mountain highways understand because i didn't know women that say that not what i liked about the net is sticking points to what i thought credit difficulties and challenges of motherhood haven't you florida on to online olympic the his contracts can answer anything better than being a mommy my experience when my children were little is there wasn't a whole lot of roe for while what happened to the old me and i'm not gonna as women went into motherhood equanimity in grades using kind of women going forward drawer you know and that's the case being a mother she doesn't do it there's a breakdown on the soccer field in susan and retail outfit comfort they confessed to her they understand they've been through it to and that's when the net turns to them insist hasn't anyone talk about things because part of the pain is the shame than you think back to for me to be very t- bills women out the whole idea was that you had to be persons same way that women were fighting as the icon of the perfect wife in on the fifties and sixties that led to women's lib no i cut the smothers right the perfection of motherhood when people say oh she's jet she's just a mother unlike your heart that is a lot easier for me to get during that work when someone offers me a cup of coffee when i decided to start writing the show the first thing i came up with was the title desperate housewives the woman who was running the testing that said a lot of american alike that and that became interesting because it became clear to me they didn't really respect women who just a minute you know you had to go the female steal the fortune five hundred company first respect you and care about you on a finding anyone who wants to be a wife and mother and developer lines creating home pathfinder's something quietly beautifully wrote about that and i'm i'm attracted to write about that there are many women out there and you know very successful independent from than logs has always been analyst there and nineteen connects i think that's what we all are which is going to connect these deadly was sure that this is being about strong competitive bidding works it works for a bad day actually killed somebody the entire show really by the way is a love story if the american cuisine there to women who've completely bond of the fact that they are cut rather than competitive that surgery almost more than anything else that she's surgery bilateral flows that's nice that you can have a state tax relief wants play christina during the procedure is the only thing that matters that you don't have to do it yourself that we have to get out last competitive me nasty but she as this intense it's almost secondary but she's helping people but but but part of what makes the show interesting coverage from the right instead and possibly exploring how these women are dealing with what they're doing in the workplace and how that's gonna match with having a person puke researching and have a life excuse this man who just passed me to marry him hanging to try to have both peacefully means standing analysis and i guess mister distributors Itd sometimes we find ourselves copy train how too balance how can we as successful meaningful personal life work-life find from loving relationship media what's the story on this thing which is the american babies and husband too right away for us they know everybody wants to be retail but the fairy tale doesn't if that's necessary existence somebody women that i knew myself included were word struggling with finding balance and to be sexy to looked young too make a living any deal with marriage around here how do you deal with for your baby to work how did you expect has been stopped happy with how much time you're spending or not spend it with a child you know there is no resolution to that problem of um finding balance unless you're willing to say balance is really over with there's no weight you can succeeded oftentimes i mean in bits and pieces i suppose and we moved past that moment which is supposed to be able to have it all or that having our israel or frankly even satisfied at all is that they were only doing everything play and that's the things that's interesting to me he really really was a man and prompting intolerable human cells are two the people who can be really interesting thing some of those since consistently increasing perfect for you to circumstances beyond our control room has been talking to him missing bomb needs to be big money system using lifestyle and we do that for us in our case to still drives who are trapped here unequal can sell heats organic heats european that's of the error comedians there's a lot of something that has to be done in to to live a life the even pay attention to one part of me and apartments efforts and pages not pardon me go broke and losing half their whenever it is it's around the problem in front of her and how did she say almond victories in the periphery i think the children are and trickery and and you know morality is number three i'm sorry because you got hurt okay same s shots hispanic conciliator it's that's that's what's happened all not what is the extracts that's only occurs as you might pretending kits etc and she sent management solutions and emotional relationships isn't an issue is solved and does the collateral damage in life conditions at the time to really sit down nemesis the damage is done it would be enormously painful and possibly immobilized and she's been surround some stemmed from that you don't belong here at least never go back uh she's been offer that inouye by by other relationship she's come to the show and she's refuses she's wants to stay in the gangster like why do women have to be these pristine figures of of comfort hands morality they're not their complex human beings senior on it seen it yet there's no sense of having this woman the to bring her head feminism sipping her head anything other then her need to find yourself seeking the addicted to panels in a suspect is sort of stretched professional nearly one hundred network television is the way this is one when you think and she's a drug addict and she said her husband she's is breaks the law sometimes it's interesting makes his inner cities deep down she's she is still good linden i've gotten some weird for a long time so it doesn't we must understand addiction and thought you know that's a great thing to get a kick the main characters seven and undertow always pulling them toward some level of destruction usually really does think this is what you have to do to get to the day love the idea that she was the single woman you thought that warning with a boyfriend was the pharmacist some song mister kids and a half that she wants to honor the claims that she's made rapacious commitments that she's made as a mother and has a wife in terms of the year fleshy stretched herself so send that now the cracks extension you know you have this one line connie my what a high-wire act delia seems like juggling nights on the high water and i should stress spinning plates and jetliners on the highway this woman is so many things going on and i think he would managing women especially in order to get drugs for many tactics to rain off and she goes to the hospital there was definitely jackie can't get away during off hispanics system echoes and fishing concentrations to be noted set and so we do fattening that understand at least on some of the straw sort of level feels like you bring her i really appreciate this swinging she has a lot of good intentions and really ultimately wants to be a good person to help other people but she needs fourteen fighter you're in your chaos and i think that's what people related yet he's because she is flawed and many everybody has secrets everybody has darkness and and as a writer is so exciting to really just tell the truth with the standard she doesn't care if my car says interest rates that says in care process and that's horrible cance from the yes she's kind of yep karen the soul of fortune person friday the sheep can free yourself from this addiction what's underneath it because it pretty it's caterpillar person mcafferty into stories there's no cataclysmic events going on a similar earthquakes slowly but surely the steelers in the ground that she was on the world that she and habits and that's that's our promise in real life meaning in time going on here do you hear it would not mind clinton-gephardt indeed anyone think television they can be anything that i think that what makes that interesting dresses that we no longer have to turn it over since the additives that feels but no one will but it's off-limits at this point it doesn't seem like it if it's in within the realm of experience anti-family people i know what happened the writer said pattern on on that's all my in laws of the just has been meeting to be delights in because that's what they it was offering jobs it was i might shoot enough for you darling women on television now aren't pursuit of other things that he has a really nice people like that but it's not their ultimate goal were so lucky as actors that television has increased and cell phone
