We’ve been getting a lot of great actors from other fantastic shows on TV guest starring. I’m always excited to see someone I recognize from another show, especially when they’re not a huge name themselves (like Julie Benz from “Dexter” as Robin, the stripper with a heart of gold). Turns out, “Mad Man” actor Sam Page will join the cast at the end of this month.

And he’s going to be, um, a little different than the other men on the show. The 33-year-old actor will be Jeremy (who’s shown here at Miami’s South Beach Triathlon in April), a cook with …read more

“Desperate Housewives”: “The Glamorous Life”
Original air date: Jan. 31, 2009
liveblog/recap
We missed “Desperate Housewives” last week, and this week, we’re competing with our love of too-long awards shows. So we’re going to be watching the Grammys right until 8:59…and flip over OMGREALLYFAST.
Erin’s here, (Not)Neighbor Peggy is here. It’s on. (And, of course, follow me on the Twits @DesperateBlog)
GO!
9:02: I reeeeaally don’t care about Orson in a wheelchair. This storyline doesn’t interest me. And I had gotten used to Bree and Karl…
9:02: Orson and Bree? Just seem awkwardly matched now.
9:03: P.S. Orson’s giving away things? Telltale sign of suicide. Little TOO obvious, …read more

“Desperate Housewives”: “How About a Friendly Shrink?”
Original air date: Jan. 17, 2009

We’ve got a giant full apartment of “Desperate Housewives” fans tonight! And by “giant full apartment” I mean Peggy and Erin are here. We’re not as hyped up for this episode as we have been for recent ones, but we’ve got a bowl of edamame and a 32-inch TV full of desperate housewives.
Ready? GO!
9: I love how every time I turn on the TV for the desperate ‘wives, I hear wonderful goodness about humans from “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” And then I go to debauchery. Natural move?
9:02: Yes! …read more

In honor of Thanksgiving — and because this season has an atypical (or not?) number of turkeys — I want your choice for the Season 6 Biggest Turkey Award.

Could it be Orson, whose wife is messing around behind his back as he unwittingly goes about his life? Or Karl, who’s playing way out of his league (forget that, he and Bree are playing different sports)? Or Katherine, who’s just totally lost it? Carlos isn’t a bad option these days, either. Or could it be Susan, for far, far too many reasons for me to list on a Thanksgiving Day …read more

“Desperate Housewives”: “Don’t Walk on the Grass”
Original air date: Nov. 1, 2009
Liveblog/recap
Happppppy day-after Halloween, DH fans!!! (Not)Neighbor Peggy is behind on grading papers, so she chose the well-being of today’s childrens instead of backstabbing wives/husbands/ex-wives/ex-gardeners.
But that’s OK because Erin’s over here, and she’s got organic key-lime yogurt and is ready to watch.
Wanna watch with me? Catch me on Twitter here!!
9:02: Bree talks about her affair like she’s making a souffle.
9:02: I’ve got a funny feeling Karl’s story about “Irene” isn’t about his grandmother…..
9:03: Karl tells Bree he loves her. Erin says “Boooo.”
9:04: Oh, whattup haaaair, Gaby! Pretty and a half. …read more

So although we heard that no major character was going to be killed off the show in the half-point clilffhanger (which we know is a plane crash), it looks like Marc Cherry is now deciding to kill off several characters, according to Michael Ausiello.
He’s got a source who says one of those people will be a “fan favorite.”
Who do you think it could be??

All right. By now we know how this works, yes? Each week we pick three winners and losers! I take some input from the people I watch with (in this case, Erin and (Not) Neighbor Peggy), and a loooot of input from you guys. And more and more of you have been responding, so thank you!!!

WINNERS
Gaby: A lot of you guys suggested this! With my rant about Susan’s character changing drastically with that little drop-the-car-on-the-vampire stunt, we see Gaby staying true to her character — and growing, too, by realizing that she doesn’t want to go for a stroll down …read more

Eva Longoria Parker and Tony Parker are eeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvverywhere. So I guess it’s only natural that they’d head to Eva’s own Beso (seen here on Friday night).

Is it just me or is Tony looking thinner these days?

Have these women ever looked hotter? This is HANDS DOWN my favorite promo in “Desperate Housewives” history. And here’s why:
1. There are shots spanning all four seasons. From when Gaby and Carlos weren’t together and she tried to seduce him (with that lingerie that I looked all over for but couldn’t find, not that it matters because I wouldn’t look like her in it anyway). From when Lynette wanted to be sexier to make a better impression at work. From when Gaby and Susan kissed.
2. There are NEW images of things we haven’t seen yet. So I get excited remembering …read more

Here’s the promo shot of “Desperate Housewives” Season Six. What do we think of this? I need to analyze this as only I can: thoroughly and snarkily. Jus’ call me Desperate Detective.
Let’s start with the obvious, OK?
1. Katherine. I keeping looking at the picture, glancing away, looking back again (rinsing and repeating a few times) and then singing “One of theses things is not like the other.” Knee-length dress. Her dirty pillows/shoulder/entire upper half is completely covered. Are we saying she’ll come back this season as a nun? And what’s with the goofy smile — when everyone else has …read more
