  • Desperate Housewives Preview: Will Lynette Lose a Child? | Today's News: Our Take | 1/24/2008
    Fresh from playing a mother in crisis on the final, storm-tossed Desperate Housewives episodes (Sundays, 9 pm/ET, ABC) before the strike, Felicity Huffman traveled to the Sundance Film Festival for her new project Phoebe in Wonderland, in which she plays… a mother in crisis. Huffman, a real-life mother of two with husband William H. Macy, plays a character who fears she's a failure at both parenting and her career as she tries to help a daughter, played by 9-year-old Elle Fanning, who could be mentally ill — or maybe just "different." TVGuide.com caught up with Huffman in Park City, Utah. TVGuide.com: There's been talk that Lynette may face the death of one of her children. Do you like read more

I really thought DH was back in good form with some great twists and an intriguing new family. It is nice to have Marcia Cross back full-time and keeping Kyle MacLachlan around as her husband was a smart move. I really enjoyed B&S more, though. Sally Field showed exactly why she won that Emmy.

I am really looking forward to what the Walkers have in store for us. Answer: Can't argue with anything here.
