“Desperate Housewives,” a soap opera about a group of suburban women with numerous secrets that aired in the Sunday, 9:00 - 10:00 P.M., ET slot is expected to complete its centenary episode on Sunday January 18, 2009. The series starring Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Marcia Cross as Bree Hodge, Eva Longoria Parker as Gabrielle Solis, Nicollette Sheridan as Edie Williams, Ricardo Antonio Chavira as Carlos Solis, James Denton as Mike Delfino, Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young, Doug Savant as Tom Scavo, Andrea Bowen as Julie Mayer, Mark Moses as Paul Young, Cody Kasch as Zach Young, Jesse Metcalfe as John Rowland and Steven Culp as Rex Van de Kamp, with a number of guest appearances has been successful to evoke the quirky spirit and playful flaunting of women’s traditional role in society.
Till now the show has already received as many as ten outstanding awards, with six Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. May be, that’s why Desperate Housewives, ABC’s hit comedy-drama, has struck a cord with viewers who see themselves in the characters, since the show revolves around domesticity and male-female relations through the ages. Despite delivering a series of reality shows and dramas round-the-clock, ABC’s decision to show “Desperate Housewives” in the prime time i.e. 9:00 P.M. on Sunday will mean a bigger ratings bounce.Â
