Teri Hatcher is dating Ryan Seacrest?!?

Okay, I knew she was a Desperate Housewife, but I didn't know she was that Desperate.

What is more surprising here is that Ryan is actually dating a woman!

Now Jay Leno can do away with his quips and jabs on Ryan's sexual preference....

It's always been like that for most shows in the States. They have only 22-24 episodes they have to fit from September-May, so the new episodes are concentrated during the Sweeps periods, which determine ad revenues - November, February and May. Notable exceptions are the reality shows, mid-season replacements, and 24.

Did you guys see Inside Edition today? Teri Hatcher said she only went out with Ryan three times - twice with a group and once solo, when they were photographed. After that date, Ryan called her and said, "I don't think I can do this with you."

Marcia Cross should be a shoo-in for acting nominations next awards season.

After this week's episode, I change that to: She must win.

She was really amazing in her final two scenes. Subtle yet intense, without overacting in what was a potentially melodramatic sequence.

I'm looking forward to next week's season finale.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #67 on:** May 10, 2006 at 09:25 AM »

She has so many episodes to choose for Emmy consideration from this season but this week's episode definitely tops 'em all. Her struggle with alcoholism was one of the most believable TV storylines on the subject. Speaking of another housewife, Eva Longoria must at least get a nomination for losing a baby twice! She also had the funniest lines this season.

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #68 on:** May 10, 2006 at 05:41 PM »

I don't know about that. Mary-Louise Parker is getting raves for her new show Weeds and it's Jane Kaczmarek's last chance to win an Emmy since Malcolm in the Middle is ending this year. She has a great episode where she takes revenge against a group of "mean girls" who played a cruel joke on Reese.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #69 on:** May 10, 2006 at 05:56 PM »

I saw the pilot of Weeds. I wasn't impressed with Parker's perf there. If they have to give an Emmy to that show for perf, it should be Liz Perkins. Kaczmarek should submit that episode then. She is known to having submitted weak episodes previously. Although only a few people watch both Weeds and Malcolm in the Middle, Weeds has a better chance of upsetting any of the Housewives because Showtime is the Miramax of the Emmys. Showtime scored 7 nomms for the little-seen Huff and even nabbing a win for Blythe Danner. I won't mind if a non-Housewife takes the trophy but if it'd happen, it'd be the second consecutive year that Cross would be robbed. Some critics opine that Huffman won last year because of the episode that was submitted by Cross. It'd be interesting to see which non-Housewife gets a nomination. Aside from Kaczmarek and Parker, I'd like to see Lisa Kudrow get one for The Comeback.

Felicity Huffman won the Emmy for two reasons:

1.) Among the three actresses for DH nommed, she's the most respected one having appearing in David Mamet plays and previously featured in a short-lived but critically acclaimed show, Sports Night.

2.) Among the Housewives, Huffman's character is the most sympathetic. She's not annoyingly ditzy like Susan, a control-freak like Bree, a slut like Edie or an adulterous gold-digger like Gabrielle. She's simply a mother who's trying her best to take care of her kids.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #71 on:** May 10, 2006 at 11:33 PM »

You're right but at that time, most people were expecting a Cross and Hatcher slugfest. I was actually happy for Huffman to win. Before getting the Emmy, she was underrated among the housewives. Ain't it cool that a fellow Sorkin alumna also won an Emmy for the same show? Mrs. Landingham from The West Wing!

Hoping to catch up with Sports Night before the new Sorkin airs. Cool cast. Chandler, Josh Lyman, Amanda Peet, among others.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #72 on:** May 19, 2006 at 08:01 PM »

Saw the latest episode. Felicia, what did you do?

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #73 on:** May 27, 2006 at 12:28 AM »

Just finished watching the two-part finale. More satisfying than Grey's Anatomy. Was also a delight to see a Pinay, Joy Bisco from The Debut. Kyle McLachlan is a welcome addition to the cast. Who is best stirring things up in suburbia than an alum from Blue Velvet?

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #74 on:** Sep 27, 2006 at 11:17 AM »

Saw the season premiere. A little better than Grey's Anatomy. I think Eva Longoria delivered the best. I'm not on board though with Lynette's storyline. They better write out the troublesome mom of Tom's love child soon before she wreaks havoc a la the Applewhite debacle.

Regretably I'm very late getting involved into this this series....after 2 years it started. All these years I thought it's just another soap opera or meant for house wives viewing (due to the name)...

Finally I gave it a try...to my surprise just seeing the first few chapters it got me & wife completely hooked!

It's really good! Last night we just completed season 1 marathon & I'm happy to say I love it!!! Full of black humour & in some epidsodes I can't stop laughing....

Got to look for the season 2 DVD set na....

Better late than never, pchin!

I've got the last two episodes still waiting to be watched. Can't watch it w/o my wife eh... that's the downside of having your wife hooked to the same show as you.

I miss Bree.. hope that she's on one of those unwatched episodes already!

pchin · « **Reply #77 on:** May 17, 2007 at 12:42 AM »

Agree X-Ran...now we have started watching season 2 na..another long marathon.

It's indeed getting better!

pchin · « **Reply #78 on:** May 21, 2007 at 08:42 AM »

JUst completed season 2 after a long marathon over the weekend..phew!

Great series...Bree is really a cool mom...the super perfect mom but she's also desperately need help. Kawawa her family problems.

You should watch out for Season III... Mas entertaining!

But I find the Gabby-Carlos war over-acting na..

pchin · « **Reply #80 on:** May 23, 2007 at 07:12 AM »

Yes butsoy

I'm still waiting for the DVD season 3 to be released. Is the season 3 still showing in the USA? Hate to wait that long til it's finished airing before releasing the DVD...

Heard some juicy stories about season 3...lots of fighting & arguing...also wedding bell for Bree..wow nice!!

sardaukar · « **Reply #81 on:** May 23, 2007 at 10:59 AM »

The season ended last Sunday (Monday here).

pchin · « **Reply #82 on:** May 23, 2007 at 01:29 PM »

Ah good..hope they will release season 3 soon....

I agree with butsoy that the war btw Gabby-Carlos war is over-acting.

However, the most hated charater for me is Bree's son...what an ungrateful & spoil-brat son who is willing to back-stab, humiliate & even to the extend of black-mailing & suing his own mother!!

Oh man I was so happy when Bree decided to just left him in the middle of nowhere. Serve him right!

I thought he changed na sa Season 3? Uhgg...! My heart aches whenever Andrew backstabs his mother once again... I really pity Bree..

I love Edie's character talaga.. Very witty and b*tchy!

Susan Delfino on an episode aired last 09/30 - Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines.
