Following her suicide, Mary Alice Young keeps tabs on friends and family she left behind on bucolic suburban Wisteria Lane. But this being a prime-time soap (if a tongue-in-cheek one), they all harbor a sordid secret or two. Created by writer-producer Marc Cherry (a 'Golden Girls' alum), 'Housewives' was an instant hit and an Emmy nominee in the comedy-series category in its first season. Costar Felicity Huffman won for Best Actress, beating out castmates Marcia Cross and Teri Hatcher.
  • Eva and Cristian Dish on Baby Plans, Careers and More | Today's News: Our Take | 7/21/2008
    Perched on a podium in the middle of Wisteria Lane, on Monday Eva Longoria Parker and Cristian de la Fuente announced the 2008 nominees for this year's ALMA Awards (American Latino Media Arts), plus spoke about some their own experiences, both personal and professional. During the event, Longoria Parker confided that, years ago, she had been a seat filler for the award show. Now, a decade later, not only has she won several of the ALMA trophies, but she also might consider the new role of a mom — off camera. "I can't wait for real motherhood!" she gushed.While Longoria Parker, who is executive producing and hosting the telecast, is not in the running this year, some of the notable nominees include Battlestar Galactica's Edward James Olmos and Without a Trace's Roselyn Sanchez. The annual award show, to be broadcast Sept. 12 on ABC, honors the work of Latinos in Hollywood. Following the announcements, de la Fuente told TVGuide.com how much things had changed in Hollywood... read more

  • Housewives Exclusive: What's Up with Susan's New Fella? | Today's News: Our Take | 7/18/2008
    What is Gale Harold doing on Wisteria Lane, why is he welcoming Susan home, and what happened to Mike? Those are but three of the questions raised by Desperate Housewives' season-ending five-year flash-forward. As ABC's two-day TCA press tour presentations drew to a close with a star-studded soiree, I grabbed the ear of DH exec producer Bob Daily, to see what, if anything, he would reveal about Susan's new sitch.For starters, Harold's character is named… Jackson. (The actor himself, standing nearby, put me through quite the guessing game to deduce that much.) Daily then elaborated that when Jackson and Susan first meet — sometime during the five years glossed over by the finale — he is far more into her than she is into him, "but then, over time, she softens a bit."And where did Susan and Mike go wrong before all of this? Daily says that big question will be answered in the season premiere, and that the circumstances of the couple's split will be most compelling.... read more
  • Fall TV Press Tour: Desperate Housewives Scoop! | Today's News: Our Take | 7/18/2008
    Some tidbits from Marc Cherry and, as he calls them, his "lovely ladies" from the cast of Desperate Housewives, on the new season. — Mickey O'Connor• Eva Longoria Parker is excited to play something other than glamorous. "I spend 10 minutes in makeup now instead of an hour," she says.• Teri Hatcher describes Old Susan as being like: "Please love me." New Susan, she says, is more closed off to love and no longer needy about it. Series creator Cherry says that Hatcher's instincts about Susan five years later are good. "Susan's first scene in the season premiere is based on something Teri pitched to the writers," he reports. • Cherry reconfirmed that Neal McDonough would be moving to Wisteria Lane — with revenge on his mind. "And I'll say no more," he teased.• "Edie is like a bad boomerang; she just keeps coming back," joked Cherry about Nicollette Sheridan's five-year absence from the neighborhood. "I was sad to see my son go because it's interesting to... read more
  • TCA: ABC Getting a Fall Reboot | Roush Dispatch | 7/16/2008
    If you get deja view looking at ABC’s not-so-new fall lineup, there’s a reason for that. Much of the schedule is a redo from last fall, with a number of promising shows returning that were cut short by the writers’ strike—most notably the Wednesday lineup of Pushing Daisies, Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money.“Our Wednesday night was to us an unbelievable success and we’re very excited to get back to that,” ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson said during a session with critics at the TCA press tour Wednesday morning. “We have kind of the advantage going in that we felt we had a dominant fall and a real strong core schedule and we didn’t need that much new programming.”In recent seasons, ABC has tended to single out just a few new shows for massive fall promotion, and this season it's planning to embrace a few old favorites. “We can actually prioritize returning shows,” says McPherson. One in particular:... read more
