Desperate Housewives is a comedy show that appears on
ABC, this show first aired in the late part of 2004 and has since run for six complete seasons covering 125 episodes. The show was created by Marc Cherry and is produced by Tom Spezialy. Desperate Housewives is filmed like most standard televisions shows with the use of multiple cameras and is shot in the back lot of Universal Studios Hollywood. The story line of this show is way too complicated to explain without giving away major spoilers. All I will say is this is not a boring show; it is filled with mystery, romance, disaster, romance, drama, and romance again. Since this show is in its 6th season you can imagine how far the story has progressed. If you would like to catch up you can buy any of the six seasons which are now available on DVD.
Desperate Housewives has won a lot of awards including: Six Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and a number of other little no name awards. The actress and actors have also received a number of nominations and awards for their performances, this is not surprising seeing that this is one of the highest rated shows on the network; this show receives about 18 million views per episode on average. Also in 2004 it broke the record for that year drawing 21.3 million viewer to its premier episode; this is pretty impressive considering some of the other shows that debuted that year.
For a while everybody thought this show was going to go off the air. But the producers have cleared up these rumors stating that the show will be around long enough to finish its seven year contract, after that they say they want to continue for a few years then close the show before the hype dies down. If they follow through with this plan; this show can go down in history as one of the greatest. Many a TV shows were really great but the networks refused to let go of them and the viewers got sick of watching the same junk over and over, I just hope
ABC does not make this mistake.
Overall I think Desperate Housewives is a pretty entertaining show, this is not a show for kids so make sure to put them to bed before watching. But other than that this is an ok show, so head over to
ABC and check out this hit TV show.
