Yes.
Well, you know, I looked into this when we started doing the podcast.
I was like, what is the history of the word housewives?
Because obviously after our show...
became the real housewives.
And then even the hunting wives.
And I mean, they just like, Mark Cherry should have a percentage of all of that, but he doesn't, but he should.
Because back in the 70s, so in the 50s, housewife was like a real, the prim proper, the dinner on the table, the whole thing.
And then in the 70s with the bra burning and all that, it kind of, people didn't use that term anymore.
And it really was Mark that brought it back with this.
And it was huge.
Yeah, it's catchy.
Desperate Housewives.
It really was.
I mean, not because we knew it would be or anything.
I always feel like that thing is just a monster of its own.
I always give a lot of credit to that it aired on Sunday nights at 9 o'clock.
which I always felt like was the exact hour when women had gotten their kids to bed, but they didn't have to go to bed themselves.
And it was before Monday where everything was gonna start again.
It was this like one hour in the week where they could be like, this is mine.
