Army Wives

Just curious if anyone has comments or observations about Lifetime's new series with Kim Delaney.  The show will probably never have a gay character, but I think the ballsiness amoung the women is interesting.  In our dreams, 2 of the wives, ie Kim Delaney and ?  have a secret fling and no one finds out!   I kind of like the show myself, at least a lot of screentime for the women, and they've dealt with some pretty tough issues sort of successfully.  Cheers,

have seen it

I was actually watching it the other night and I was sitting there thinking to myself... man I wonder who is going to come out with a crazy story about being a lesbian or 'experimenting' so to say. No joke 5 min later it was the scene with all the women sitting around discussing things and then bam! They start talking about how crazy they were and/or experimental some have been... I was like no crap- then they started talking about the names of their vaginas. Very interesting.. so then the show  took a turn for the worst and dumped on us that one of the husbands was in a fatal wreck....maybe. All together I like this show and good thing I have dvr!

It's all fun and games until you fall for a straight girl!

awesome

...thought I was the only one watching.  course, I'm southern too:)  Maybe it's the military thing....

I'm also a huge fan of Kim Delaney, so when I saw she was on it, I was so there!  You're quite younger, so what's your draw?

PS,

i'm a big fan of FL also, mostly the Panhandle, but have been to St Pete's, etc, FL is just a big frikkin' state if you look at it!  Complicated weather, but, well that's the South:)

I hate to admit it

I almost hate to admit it but one night I couldn't sleep and ended up watching it and it really is a pretty good show. I'm usually not into lifetime movies or shows (because they usually involve an abused woman being shoved into a wood chipper) so this was kind of refreshing.

Seen it

My mom had it on the other day and i started to watch it. I got interested in it but i couldn't help to feel as if there was something going on with Kim Delaney's character and Catherine Bell's character. But i doubt that the show will go that way.

Good show

I really like the show so far. I hope it doesn't disappoint in future episodes. Kim Delaney is nice to look at from time to time also.

I've Watched It From The Beginning...

and I'm pretty sure there's not going to be any girl on girl thing happening with any of the wives. They have been written so hetero, there's no turning around.  If they have any kind of  gay storyline, I betcha it'll be a one time only and involve someone who doesn't show up again.

That being said, I like the show a lot.  The friendships are great and complicated, like they're supposed to be. I like, too, that they cross the class lines. All in all it's a good show. 

Enjoy your day...  

Peace, Joy and Love

Amry Wives.

I think that sooner or later theres gonna be a lesbian character on the show...I mean I can definitely see the show going that way! Wouldn't mind watching it go that way either!

Yeah its a pretty good show actually. I've been watching it since the first episode. The army wives themselves are all pretty tough and outspoken which I love. Especially Roxy...she started out as my favorite army wife though now shes got some competition from the others lol.

Overall I'd say I'm a fan!
