It's dirty, it's sexy, it's oh-so-addicting.

Wednesdays are what it's all about. I could watch two or three hour long episodes of DSM a week and not get sick of it.

Between the red carpet brawl over bangs (yes, like hair), the car vs. fire hydrant accident, a scandalous Darling family sex tape, and the fake Swedish illegitimate child of a Reverand... I absolutely adore the Wednesday night 9-10 hour in the good old central time zone.

I had a feeling that Karen was going to be the one on the sex tape... mainly because the other four wouldn't be all that surprising. I was really hoping it'd be Brian... just to see his reaction and how he'd manage to turn it all around on Nick. Beyond that, I thought the Nick/Darling children interviews about the sex tape were absolutely the highlight of the episode. And certainly the possible inspiration behind Juliet Darling (one Miss P.H.) obviously showed one glaring difference... because one of the ladies in question is a "real, total virgin."

Karen/Nick scenes are always good for a laugh... especially how she wouldn't give up on the mix tape subject. All girls have probably felt like her at some point in their lives about the boy they grew up with... the main difference being that most girls stop feeling that way before they hit 20... let alone in their 30s.

As far as Jeremy and space camp. I simply have no words other than to say that I simply adore the character... in all of his coke snorting, promiscuous glory. One thing is for sure... Seth Gabel is very convincing as a screwed up twenty-something... see Nip/Tuck season 3 for evidence.

And lastly... Patrick and the driver are great together. I loved the "sweet nectar!" comment Patrick uttered. And kudos to anyone who noticed that Patrick's wife and Nick's daughter have both been recast... no Elle Fanning or Kiersten Warren... which hopefully means the former Nora of Wisteria Lane has found a bigger role elsewhere that is more deserving of her craziness.

Can't wait for next week... I'm hooked.
