Paula Abdul, Will Forte
What do you get when you put Paula Abdul, Zooey Deschanel and Will Forte together? A little bit of chivalry (Forte loaned Deschanel his jacket), some Simon talk (OK, more than some talk about Abdul's love-hate-love relationship with Cowell) and lots of laughs at Monday's Paley Center fall TV preview ...

It's Aliiive! Dr. Mayfair delivered Danielle's baby during the neighborhood Halloween bash. Nathan Fillion by Ron Tom/ABC
Episode Recap: "Now I Know, Don't Be Scared"Everyone has moments of sensitivity, regardless of how mischievous and manipulative they may be. As hilarious and mean (but perfect) as Danielle's imitation of her mother was — in appearance, cadence and affinity for coasters and "our lord" — I was happy to see sweet moments between mother and daughter. Bree was cognizant of the strong maternal emotions Danielle experienced and gave her the chance to hold her newborn, and to change her mind. Danielle too put aside the bitterness toward her mother and knew (for now) that her baby boy would be in better hands with the Hodges. Great acting by both Joy Lauren and Marcia Cross and the writers deserve credit for a great balance of comedy and drama — what with Danielle's dressing like her mother, her water breaking at the Halloween party on Bob's rug, a (super speedy) delivery overseen by Frankenstein, and giving Lynette's kids a real Halloween fright. I much prefer the mother/daug...

Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm in Desperate Housewives by Ron Tom/ABC
Cheers to Desperate Housewives for continuing to spruce up Wisteria Lane. Hot on the heels of Dana Delany's Cheer-worthy arrival as shady Katherine Mayfair, two more intriguing new neighbors have moved into the 'hood: Bob (Tuc Watkins) and Lee (Kevin Rahm). The refreshingly non-stereotypical life partners have stirred up trouble without even trying — their loud lawn sculpture caused a rift between Susan and Lynette and started a feud with Katherine that promises to keep on simmering. During the past two uneven seasons, watching Housewives had become a chore, but with such welcome additions, it feels like a gay old time again.• Read and react to Bruce's opinions on 30 Rock, Damages and more!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the brand-new Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board• Your take could wind up in TV Guide magazine's Cheers & Jeers column!

And Wisteria Lane's new gay couple (Tuc Watkins, Kevin Rahm) had it rough enough last week when Susan was trying to be nice. Now they'll meet the neighborhood association. The issue at hand is their yard decorations, and some folks aren't even trying to be nice. — Paul Droesch
