    Pure curiosity and bordom keeps me watching when nothing else is on, but I'm about ready to pick up a book. Surely it's got to be better. The acting is the worst I've ever seen...from all the actors, not just Bo Derek! The stoyline is enough to keep a person interested just a bit but if they dont stop with the flashbacks and the constant commercials, I'm finished!

    im not gonna say its the best show on television rite now even though i've given it a 9!! the actors are cute and hot (in cases) but the acting is worst than the guys on Balaji soaps. but it sure is addictive and thats why i watch. the 9 is for the pull factor that the story has.

    I love the show and look forward to it every night. I swore I wouldn't get hooked on it, but I did. However, I do have some problems with it. The flashbacks are getting extremely annoying. I didn't and don't mind them if they are there to help the scene, but they are showing the same ones so often that I, now, personally, know the lines of what each character is going to I love the show and look forward to it every night.

I didn't and don't mind them if they are there to help the scene, but they are showing the same ones so often that I, now, personally, know the lines of what each character is going to say. Give us all a break already - you have recaps on Saturdays, yet you take a Wednesday night, in the middle of the week, on Sept. 27th and do a total recap of the show from the beginning of the season to current, then that very Friday night's show, the one about the dinner with Luke, Maria, Lexie and William you had another recap show with just a few seconds or minutes of new footage showing Maria slipping Luke a "mickey" and another new short scene or two. But for all intense and purposes that Friday show, September 29th was all but total flashbacks. Then you turn around and do the same thing on the very next Friday, October 6th. Almost the entire show was total flashbacks with just a new scene or two thrown in here or there, which actually only added up to a couple of minutes of new footage. They haven't even been smart enough to leave us with a "cliffhanger" to go into the weekend with. That happened on Thrusday. I felt used on both of those Friday shows (I could have been doing other things instead of watching yet another show of flashbacks) and was furious when they took a Wednesday, in the middle of the week, to do yet another flashback (catch-up) show. If they are trying to get new viewers with this tactic, it is certainly the wrong way to go because they are running away some of the people that started with them. They could take a Sunday night to do these "catch-up" shows. Instead they are risking losing the viewers they currently have and are now so feed-up with the flashbacks they won't watch any more. My sister is one of them and if she was willing to leave the show (and she really liked the show - yet, all the flashbacks just killed her), I know there are many others acrossed America that have turned them off too. I don't mind a well placed flashback a time or two throughout an episode - but come on already. What keeps me coming back is the fact that I love Bo Derek and I love William Chandler's character and Joel Berti. I also like the Luke character. And a "shame on you" to the writers of this series for making Michelle so stuckup and "holier then thou", maybe that's not the right term, but it's like she has never made a mistake in her life and can't tolerate anyone who has. Lance was a different issue altogether. I can understand her leaving him, she should have left him. However, the writers having her not even giving Luke a chance to explain or wanting to discuss what happened with Lexie isn't even believeable. Any woman would want to know the truth, if she indeed really loved Luke. And they would want to talk to Lexi too!! Writers aren't making this story line believeable. After all she is suppose to be in love with Luke. Luke finds out Antonio Gianni isn't his father, he is hurting and is in emotional turmoil, he wants to talk to Michelle, he needs someone for support and turns to Michelle. The writers have Michelle turning her back on him. "Ok, Luke sorry for what your going through, but I have to go back to work". What in the heck was up with that. This is the man she is in love with. His is suffering. The writers are making her very unlikeable at this point, and I mean very unlikeable. And what is up with allowing Maria to continue to steal her designs. I know she is about to talk to Maria tonight - but give me a break, noone would stand for this. They would be out of there in a wink of an eye and hire an attorney to boot. They would not just sit there and allow Maria to steal their work. There are other Fashion Houses for Michelle to work for. Not everyone would take the word of any employee that works for Gianni that Michelle wasn't any good and was crazy! They would do just the opposite and hire Michelle for spite if nothing else because of the enemies that Maria has made in the industry. Come on writers, America isn't stupid. Fox, ok, you got a foot in America's door with Fashion House, now give us better writers for this show. Oh, yes, and put a cap on the flashbacks, please.… Expand

    Even I think the show is crap but they paid me so well I'll do anything for money. I just wish there were HOT sex scenes to add an even guilty pleasure. The two gay guys are laughably bad actors.

    It is a very good show. The suspense builds. The only thing I do not like is how they cut back too often to the previous scenes. Otherwise, I am always waiting to see what is going to happen next.

    I love this show BUT.... They must air about 12 min of new footage on the each episode.. the rest is filled with bs flashbacks and filler scenes..ie the cars going by.. the buildings.. the beach!! Enuff already if they dont have enuff new footage cut it to a half hour show before a lot of people lose interest,,, The flashbacks wayyyyyy to much.

    i love fashion house, it is an amazing show but the only thing i don't like is the flashbacks i think it is annoying, but the rest of the show is very interesting, it causes addiction, i wait every day for this show. i hope there would be another season for it since Maria Gianni is still alive.

    I don't watch Desire at all as it is bad writing and acting. However Fashion House I LOVE LOVE LOVE especially LUKE (Taylor Kinney, he is so hot and not bad in acting). I tune in just to see what is next. RECAPS GOT TO GO

    I love the premise of the show and most of the characters but the rehashing is driving me crazy......if anything, this would make me stop watching. I also feels that some of the characters such as Tania are annoying and should be put in their place more or taken out one way or another.......she (and others) get away with way too much.

    The stories of the individuals keep me coming back but I have problems with the repetitive previews of other shows on that station and numerous commercials that interrupt what could be a good show. Lucky to get 1/2 hour total of Fashion House. Going to start using my recorder and skip the "junk". Enjoy the clever scanning of the cities in between the character stories.

    A 10 for Taylor Kinney. He is hot!!! The show is refreshing mindless entertainment. But too many commercials, flashbacks, bloody fight scenes (Lance & PI), and killings are a turn off.

    Its like watching paint dry. And thin plot, poor writing, bad acting. If it weren't for the eye candy I wouldn't have watched at all. (I need to get a life) With the endless flashbacks, you can tune in any time and catch up,,, or tune in at the end of week and see a total recap of the week complete with voice-over.

    Desire is the worst crap ever allowed on television. I couldn't get through the first episode. As far as Fashion House: The recaps have got to go!!!! I am soooooo sick of watching the same episodes over and over because they keep showing the same recaps over and over. We are not stupid, we can remember what came on last week.

    Like the story line, sooooooo annoyed by the recaps/flashbacks in every single episode. I would enjoy it so much more without all the flashbacks. I was promised no reruns, who needs reruns when they practically replay previous episodes everyday. Also some of the actors & actresses (if you can call them that) cannot act. Sure they're eye candy, but bottom line the acting sucks. The Like the story line, sooooooo annoyed by the recaps/flashbacks in every single episode.

    I"m hoping it will pick up in the 3rd or 4th episode. Now that we have the groundwork laid out, we can look forward to some action. I can't wait for Bo & Morgan to beat the crap out of each other. I've got popcore waiting . . .

    It's awash in sudsy Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild, plus a bit of Tippi Hedren. But slow tension fails to fill the first episode, and the acting is a tangle of scorns.
