I had the fun task this week of helping the folks at Parade.com with their five-season comprehensive quiz on the show! Click on the link to the right to take the quiz. This puppy’s 50 questions long, so it’s really going to test your knowledge of desperate housewivery. Come back after you’ve gotten all the way through it and post your score!

Variety ran this timeline of the ‘wives, from the beginning — when marketers promoted the show with dry-cleaning bags. It’s an interesting look back, and I can’t believe we’re just a day away from the 100th episode. I viiiividly remember when I first saw a commercial advertising the show. My thoughts? “Whaaaat?? Are they seriously going to have a show called ‘Desperate Housewives’? That’s so sleazy.” Anyway, to make a long story short, I fell in love with them and five years later I had their baby, which we named DesperateBlog.com. The end!

The Variety package on the 100th episode goes on with this story about the ladies’ relationship. Eva Longoria Parker and Teri Hatcher say they’re all close and great friends. Do you guys believe it? I sincerely hope that’s true, but I’m doubtful. I can see Eva, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross being great friends, but I’m not sure about the others.

I can’t wait to how season 5 of Desperate Housewives starts. It’s always fun to see how they change the opening theme each new season.

Desperate000 has uploaded all the themes starting from season 1 to 4. Take a trip down memory lane as you watch each one.
