The fifth series of Desperate Housewives concludes tonight, with the resolution of the Dave storyline and some seeds being sown for series six. There’s big news for the Scavos, but those of you that have seen the trailer will have already figured out what that is; Gaby and Carlos have a new arrival in [...]

Tonight’s Desperate Housewives is the series’ hundredth episode, and to mark it, they’ve done something rather unusual. They’ve interrupted the ongoing stoylines for a one-off special.
Eli Scruggs, played by Beau Bridges, is the street’s favourite handyman. When he dies suddenly, the ladies of Wisteria Lane (except Katherine, for reasons I’m unaware of, unless [...]

Two weeks ago, Steven looked at the state of teen drama, and last week I looked at British serial drama. This week, it’s the turn of American serial drama, and as my post last week seemed to have a karmic effect on Mistresses, which got a lot better that evening, I’m hoping this [...]

It’s been several months (or at least it feels like it) since Desperate Housewives came off Channel 4 for a mid-season break. But now they’re all back, and we can pick up the stories from where they left off.
For those of us with short attention spans: Carlos was about to get his sight back [...]

FIRE! Desperate Housewives, Channel 4, 10.05pm
Things on Wisteria Lane are hotting up tonight (ba-dum-tish) as Dave and his band (made up of all the straight men of the street. Clearly music is not something for the gays, although at least Bob and Lee turn up for five minutes this week) play their first gig [...]

FUTURE! Desperate Housewives, Channel 4, 10.00pm
When series four of Desperate Housewives finished, all that time ago (i.e. last week), we were treated to a glimpse of Wisteria Lane five years in the future. The new series picks up from that point (although there will be some flashbacks, too). In the future some things [...]

FINALE! Desperate Housewives, Channel 4, 10.00pm
No sooner have we returned to Wisteria Lane than it’s time to say goodbye again, as season four comes to a close. Except it’s not really time to say goodbye at all, because as a result of the massive scheduling cockup at Channel 4 that necessitated the series taking [...]

BACK! Desperate Housewives, Channel 4, 10.00pm
After a rather unexpected mid-season break (which allegedly had something to do with someone in scheduling at Channel 4 getting confused by how many episodes they had to show this series because someone forgot to start counting again when the writers’ strike finished), the ladies of Wisteria Lane are back.

STORMY! Desperate Housewives, Channel 4, 10.00pm
It looks as though Desperate Housewives has figured out that, while it can do the subtle, emotion-led scenes very well when it puts its mind to it, the show’s real talent lies in big blockbuster episodes that wouldn’t look out of place in some kind of action movie – admittedly, [...]

GAYS! Desperate Housewives, Channel 4, 10.00pm
Despite being a prime contender for the gayest show on television (it’s a three-horse race between this, Ugly Betty and Strictly Come Dancing, as far as we can tell), it’s taken a surprisingly long time for any actual bummers to turn up on Wisteria Lane. There was Andrew, of [...]
