fandomaniaWhat is interesting about this article is that the writer talks about how shows betray their viewers, except when she gets to Desperate Housewives.
'Desperate Housewives'
The revival of Marc Cherry's dramedy about the women of Wisteria Lane is the comeback story of 2009. In its fifth season, Cherry pulled a flash-forward trick that would have paved the way to an early death for most shows. Instead, "Desperate Housewives" is back to being funny again.
The time warp into the future is the best possible thing to happen to the inhabitants of always-sunny Fairview. Perhaps it's not a formula all shows can necessarily follow, but it's one that works when the writers and producers agree the show needs a course correction and put their best efforts into rebooting it. Don't believe me? Just watch creepy and menacing Dave Williams (the brilliant Neal McDonough) this season.
