I watched DH and it was a hoot. But in a sort of DS connection, DH did extremely well in the ratings. It "drew close to 21.3 million viewers at 9 p.m. -- making it the most-watched series premiere of the season (topping CBS' 'CSI: NY') and the best opening for an ABC show since 'Spin City' in 1996," and, "equally important for the network, 'Housewives' scored an 8.7 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic, also the best for a series debut this season (beating that of "Joey" on NBC). It also was the night's top show among adults 18-34."

Now, why is all that interesting? Well, DH runs opposite the WB's "Jack and Bobby," which was already attracting lackluster ratings:

... the two shows the WB picked over DS are both struggling in the ratings. ...
and somehow the good showing of DH probably didn't help improve that situation in the slightest.

There is a cast connection.  Terri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives and Lara Parker are allumni of the soap opera Capitol.  Dunno if they were on at the same time however.  [/size]

I, too, watched DH last night and found it quite enjoyable.  I loved the blend of offbeat comedy, sex, and mystery.  I'm glad it attracted such a large audience for its debut, and hope it continues to pull in such good ratings.

I Agree. I found Desperate Housewives to be a fun creative show. After watching that debut episode, I'm considering a change of vocation, and becoming a gardener.  ;) ;D

i thought that perhaps the strong pilot for "d.h." would be followed by a weaker second ep. but last night's ep. totally got me hooked.one thing that disturbed me however was that abc is starting to do annoying tie-ins with the show already(week two!).there are tie-ins with oprah and g.m.a..i'd hate for it to suffer from "twin peaks" syndrome and burn-out quickly on all the hype.

anywho,not d.s.ish but i thought one more mention ::).
