TV Jots

Am I the only viewer who thought about the oldie but goodie thriller The Bad Seed when watching the scenes between Lynette and her husband Tom’s daughter Kayla on Sunday night?

Am I the only viewer packing sufficient years to even remember that 1956 camp-horror gem that was still rotating on TV often enough for me to catch it when I was a kid?

I’m betting that Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry & Company were thinking of the same flick when they crafted the chilling scenes between the two women of the Scavo household.

I hope I’m going in the wrong direction, though, because if not, there’s going to be significantly fewer Scavos around soon. That Kayla is super scary, as in pathologically so. Just check out the following clip if you require proof.

So, am I right or what? Told ya! And that little exchange is just the tip of the very frigid, very deep iceberg. Poor Lynette…
