"On a deeper level, however, "Desperate Housewives" and "Gilmore Girls" are about the way people live in clustered, close-knit communities. In the former, it's Wisteria Lane, a street of well-kept suburban houses occupied by women struggling to balance their private and public selves. In the latter, it's the postcard-perfect town of Star's Hollow, Conn., where Norman Rockwell quaintness combines with just enough Felliniesque quirkiness to make it bearable for the hip mother and daughter who reside there."
