ABC’s Sunday smash Desperate Housewives has emerged as one of the TV season’s bona fide phenomena, a bracingly original water-cooler show that has been embraced by critics and viewers across the country. All the ensuing hoopla is great fun, says Desperate cast member James Denton, but it pales next to something else every actor craves — job security. “To tell the truth, it’s more relief than anything else,” says the 42-year-old actor, who plays hunky Wisteria Lane plumber Mike Delfino on the tongue-in-cheek soap.

On Wednesday, January 26, 2005, during the Oprah show, a commercial advertised that Oprah Winfrey would become the newest Desperate Housewife. The Oprah show will be airing behind the scenes features and information will be shown on February 3, 2005. Stay tuned for more information.
For the past couple of weeks, a story has floated around the Internet that Pamela Anderson, she of Baywatch and Playboy fame, was regretting turning down a part in ABC’s hit series Desperate Housewives. Some reports have also noted that Heather Locklear, who starred in this season’s short-lived “LAX” on NBC, was also considered for one of women of Wisteria Lane — although Locklear herself has never said so, as best we can tell. Both accounts, however, elicit a raised eyebrow from “Housewives” creator Marc Cherry.

As TiVo and even VCR users know, the phrase “hour-long drama” doesn’t mean what it used to in the television universe. All season long, fans of several hit ABC dramas — Lost and Desperate Housewives in particular — have complained that because their favorite shows have been known to end at a minute or two past the hour, they’ve missed crucial information, or at least crucial closing credit sequences. At ABC’s Television Critics Association press tour sessions over the weekend, it became clear that there are myriad reasons behind those minor overages which cause such frustration for so many. “You know, sometimes it’s based on creative and sometimes it’s based on strategic,” says ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson. “Sometimes the shows just run longer and it’s hard to edit them down and we give the producers a minute or two. Sometimes it’s to bridge… the commercial gap there and be a little more strategic with our schedule. [W]e don’t do it on every show, there are opportunities where we think it makes sense.”

Marc Cherry, creator of ABC’s hit comedy-drama Desperate Housewives, told SCI FI Wire that he’s hoping to bring back actress Sheryl Lee (Twin Peaks) for a guest role, since Lee’s role in the pilot was recast for the series. Lee played the character of Mary Alice, who kills herself, then provides the voice-over narration for the show from beyond the grave. When the series was picked up, Lee was replaced with Brenda Strong because producers decided they needed a warmer narrator, Cherry said.
