This is easily one of the finest hours of television I have ever seen. And this is coming from a man who has given up on commercial television. (I watched this episode in rerun at the request of a friend who had seen it in its original time slot.)

The writing, the directing, the acting...ALL superb. The interplay of comedy and drama without either element being cheated. (This, I imagine, is not easy to do.)

Bravo, "Desperate Housewives"!

And shame on commercial television for not rising to this level of excellence more often!

I'm a little confused! I thought a disaster movie had a disasterous theme, not that the movie itself was a disaster! Perhaps this is a new genre!

I groaned when the President said, "The ball's in your hands", to the man he put in charge after we'd been introduced to the two of them as they played basketball. The next time I groan while watching a TV movie/miniseries my next move will be to hit "Off" on the remote.

And, just for the record, did NBC think we wouldn't notice that the film was two hours and forty minutes long...in a four hour timeslot?!? Maybe the math eludes me but I believe that is one minute of commercial for every two minutes of movie!!! UNACCEPTABLE!

I think I've watched my last miniseries!

A friend recommended this title. I'm so glad she did. I'm not sure I would have found it any other way. (I'd never heard of it. Had you?)

To quote "R" from the film, "My First Mister" is "just one of those small...but enormous things."
