Desperate viewers

There are more than two sides to the controversy involving the season premiere of ABC's Desperate Housewives.

One side says that the character Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher) should not have said the line "Can I check those diplomas because I would just like to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Philippines?" because it insults graduates of Philippine medical schools. This side has been taken by Filipino-Americans, as well as by the Philippine government.

Another side says that "there was no intent to disparage the integrity of any aspect of the medical community in the Philippines." This is the side of the show's producer. ABC issued the apology after receiving complaints about the line.

There are other sides.

A third side was pointed out by Andrew Gumbel, writing in The Independent: "The reaction clearly took ABC by surprise because the network did something networks almost never do.
