Desperate Housewives

Hey, everyone!!! Well, it looks like we’re definitely going to have one change from last season. Remember how we pretty much all knew exactly what was going on with Dave and who it related to and how almost the minute the first episode aired? Well… don’t count on that this time. That is, if Teri’s telling the truth in this interview where she says she has no idea who the new character played by Drea De Matteo will end up butting heads with. All I can say is- please don’t let it be Susan!! I think she and Mike have more than filled their quota of mystery stories, don’t you?

Personally, I like the idea of Gabby getting mixed up with the new family. We really haven’t seen the Solises at the core of any season mysteries, so this would be a nice change of pace for me. It looked like they could be setting something like that up, as well, with Ana’s former guardian talking about suckering some other poor slob into raising Ana.

Teri also talks a little bit about Drea’s hazing in the form of sugar. Wanna know more? Check out this link for the details. So… do you all think they should keep us in the dark for a bit story-wise? Do you have a certain character you want to get the main story? Comment and let me know. I leave you guys with a clip of Teri from the Jimmy Kimmel Live show a little bit back. It was posted by terihatcherweb. Check them out on youtube… they’ve got some great clips of Teri from back in the day when she guested on Tales from the Crypt (anyone remember that show?) and more. See ya next time!

Hey everyone! Normally, I spoiler any information directly relating to casting and plot details, even if they’re in major news outlets. This time, though, I’m not going to because a certain actor on the show has announce he/she is leaving the series via his/her publicist and well- it’s all over People’s website. I figure what’s the point? The actor in question?

Shawn, otherwise known as Andrew Van De Kamp. It seems that he’s decided to say goodbye to the show (at least as a regular character) to focus on other projects. It’s been said he will still appear in several episodes of the sixth season, though. I think this is a real shame. He was one of my favorite parts of last season. It’s kinda cool to have seen this character develop from smart mouthed kid to son from hell to a pretty responsible and cool guy. After all, it definitely looks like Andrew was the driving force behind the success Bree has had with her business and writing. Not to mention he how has become one of her close personal confidants, helping her with the whole Orson situation. Let’s just hope they write him out in a good way that leaves the door open for his return, should he decide to do even more guest work or return full-time in the future.

So what do you guys think about this? Should Andrew stay on the show? Are you happy about this news? Any ideas on how you’d like to see him written off? Comment and let me know what you think. I leave you with a Shawn fan video by Megan3617:

Hey, everyone!! So, fess up! Who’s missing Nicollette Sheridan ever since she left Desperate Housewives? Don’t worry- you’ll be seeing her sometime soon. Well… more like hearing her. She’s got a new animated movie that, from what I’ve read, will be released sometime this year. Should be interesting seeing Edie’s voice coming out of an animated character, huh?

The movie is called Noah’s Ark: A New Beginning. It’s the second in a series of movies that retell Biblical stories. The first one was released a couple of years ago and was based on the Ten Commandments. This time, they’ll be telling the animal’s side of the Noah’s Ark story. She’ll be voicing the character Zenna. The movie is pretty much using familiar names in this one. Michael Keaton, Rob Schneider and Howie Mandel are all listed as being in the cast. I have to say that the most surprising co-star is Eliza Dusku. Ya know- Faith from Buffy. She’s currently getting ready for the second season of her new show Dollhouse.

I have to admit, I may wanna watch this one. I love the idea of telling this story from the animals point of view. Seems like a fresh and cool twist for it. What do you guys think? Would you be up for seeing this? Are you ‘eh’ about the idea of watching it? Comment and let me know. I guess that’s about it for today. I’ll see y’all again next time with more Housewives talk. Until then, enjoy this video from hollywoodtv of Nicollette out and about last week:

Hello out there! How’s it going? I thought I’d end the weekend on the right note- with some new posts. I’ve been avoiding saying anything out of a spoiler tag because you never know what fans might not want to know about casting and all for the new season. Still- this is being pretty widely reported in the press, so why not? Anyway… y’all probably know by know that Andrea Bowen will be returning to the show this season (If you don’t, way to go! Even if I wasn’t trying to get the info, I don’t think I could’ve avoided this one). Well, she’s been doing some press about it, including an interview with TV Guide. If you wanna know more about what Julie might be up in season 6 to next season, follow me to the cut.

According to Andrea, Marc wanted to give the character a little break so they could bring her back with a big splash. From the very few details Andrea gives, it sounds like Julie is going to be involved in some very interesting and different stuff this year. It’ll also be the first time she’s had a story be all about her, which I love. More details can be found here. So what do you guys think? Are you excited to see what changes Julie’s gone through? Are you wishing she’d stayed the same (or just away)? Comment and let us all know. I guess that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see ya again next time. Before I go, enjoy this video of Andrea, thanks to SoCalShooter:

And I come bearing casting scoop! Sorry for being out of commission for a couple days there. Last night, I finally got someone over to fix my computer. Luckily, it was a lot easier and faster than I was expecting. Anyway… with the season already shooting, more casting news is coming out. Today, I saw the news that Orson Bean will be appearing on the show. He’s been around for ages and, like many stars of that time period, appeared on a bunch of game shows. One of those being To Tell The Truth. All I can say without spoiling people too much is he’ll be around for a little while. If you wanna know more, follow me to the cut.

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to post you a message to let you know it might be a few days before I can post. My computer crashed this morning, so I have no internet access at home. I’m at the library now and will try and post from here when I can until it’s fixed. Take care everyone and have a good night!!

Hello everyone!!! So, we’ve got a couple months yet before new episodes start airing again. What better time is there to catch up on some of the old posts and episodes so you’re all up to speed when the premiere date rolls around. This is especially true for anyone who is thinking of trying to show for the first time in season 6.

To make it much easier on you, the powers that be are getting ready to release the season 5 DVD. I’m sure you all remember me doing a post about this before. Well, now they’ve released a promo video for it! Check it out below, thanks to JucyDespHousewives:

Not too bad, huh? I think this would definitely get my attention if I didn’t already see the season. So, how many of you out there are thinking of getting the season 5 set? I have to say I’m definitely tempted to buy it. They’ve been doing a pretty decent job with the extras (which is more than I can say for some shows…) and extras are a big seller with me. It’s just always fun to see the behind the scenes stuff and learn about how new episodes get put together every week. Plus- some actors and writers are just entertaining during the commentaries. Anyone else feel the same? Comment and let’s talk about it. While we’re at it… what were some of your favorite extras from the other season sets? Well, I guess that’s about it. Take care and I’ll see y’all again tomorrow.

Hey, everyone. I’m sorry I didn’t get to stop in over the weekend and get another post in. Life occasionally gets in the way- you know how it is. Still, I owe y’all a post and I am going to make it up at some point this week. For now? I have some spoiler dirt to share with you, thanks to SpoilerTV. I think you guys know the deal by now…..

Well, it’s that time again. Emmy nominees have been announced and, once more, Housewives has gotten seriously snubbed. This is really shocking to me. I mean, ratings were really good and the critics were eating it all up… if that didn’t get an Emmy nom or two, I don’t know what will. Ah well… there’s always next year. Still… there was one bit of good news for the show today.

It was not a total and complete shut out. The series did manage to snag one nomination in the one of the acting categories. Beau Bridges will be competing for the Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series prize. I gotta say… good choice! There was just something about him in that role that really got me. Not sure why. This episode and the character had all the makings of a disaster to me. I usually hate when a series introduces a character we’ve never heard of before that everyone has known and loved for ages and kills them off, never to be mentioned again. Still- he and the others did great and actually made me believe what the show was trying to sell.

Beau’s competition in the category is Justin Timberlake for Saturday Night Live (I swear, if he takes the prize…. ::shakes fist::), and Steve Martin, Jon Hamm and Alan Alda for 30 Rock (am I sensing a pattern here?) If you want to see the full list of nominees, head on over here.

So what do you guys think? Was he deserving? Would you have picked another actor (or actress) instead from the show? Let me know what you think below. Take care and see ya next time. I leave y’all with more Emmy stuff from CBS on youtube:

Hey, everyone!!! I have a little scoop on where you can see Ricardo Antonio Chavira on TV tomorrow. He’s a guest star of a repeat of Joan of Arcadia, airing tomorrow of the SyFy Channel (How many of you, by the way, are kinda confused about the whole Sci-Fi Channel name change thing? I’m not really liking it and wonder what the point is).

The episode in question is called The Boat and is part of a marathon of the series. It’ll air at 11 AM. Ricardo plays Sgt. Eddie Fosberg in the episode where Joan is asked to build a boat, which makes her mother wonder what’s wrong with the teenager.

In case you didn’t really pay attention to the show back when it was on, Joan of Arcadia starred Amber Tamblyn as a teenager who speaks to God and a new task each week. Usually it ends up teaching her some kind of important lesson and the God she speaks to changes from episode to episode. In the series, God appears to Joan in different forms- old, young, male, female, etc. It lasted for 2 seasons on CBS before getting cancelled. I used to love this show, so I am curious to check this episode out. I don’t remember him on it at all. I must’ve missed this one the first time around.

So who else besides me is going to watch this one? If you do, write back to share your thoughts on the episode and on Ricardo’s performance in it. Til later… take care and I’ll see y’all tomorrow! I leave you with a clip of Ricardo in ‘Rockaway’, thanks to CinemaVault. Enjoy!

Hello again! So, Housewives is gearing up for yet another season on ABC. While it looks like Ana might make it a busy one for Gabrielle Solis, Eva just might be busier. Not only is she doing a bunch of endorsements (the latest being for a beer), but it looks like she’s got a movie project in development.

According to the website for alquimia films, Eva is set to not only act in, but be a producer on a film called 1954. It’s the true story of Dolores “Lolita” Lebrón Sotomayor and the group she led. They were basically nationalists devoted to the freedom of Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, they took a violent method of getting their point across, attacking the US House of Representatives in (obviously) 1954. A small group of them, including Lolita, entered the visitor’s area above the chamber and opened fire while she displayed a Puerto Rican flag. When they were arrested, after wounding several lawmakers, they insisted they did not plan on hurting anyone. They wanted to die for their country. The group was tried and sentenced shortly after, staying in jail until Carter pardoned them in 1979. That move, by the way, was really controversial. The man in charge in Puerto Rico at the time spoke out against it, fearing it would lead to more violent acts.

She is said to still be active in pro-independence activities, but her advanced age (she was born in 1919) and a hip surgery have likely slowed her down quite a bit. It’s a crazy story, huh? I’m interested to see how the movie turns out. Well, that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all next time. I leave you with Eva’s new commercial posted by evalongoriapl:

Hey, everyone! I am back and ready to share some spoilers I found about the new family on the Lane. Jefferey Nordling has been cast as Drea’s character’s husband and Beau Mirchoff has been cast as the son. If you wanna know more about the family, follow me to the cut… Read the rest of this entry »

Good evening, everyone!! Before I sign out for the week, I wanna share where you can find a few of the Desperate Housewives actors on TV over the next couple weeks. This time, I’m focusing on Doug, Teri, Marcia and James.

Doug Savant was in the movie Bonnie and Clyde: A True Story. If you haven’t seen it (yes, I’m among you), you get a chance to on July 14th. FMC will be playing it at 4 AM, so set those DVRs….

Marcia Cross is also on TV that day. You can see her in the movie Taken Away. It will be airing on HBO East at 3:10 AM (uh, oh… scheduling conflict. I’m curious- which one would you choose?)

Teri Hatcher can be seen in a couple of things soon. One is the movie Resurrecting the Champ. It’s going to air on ENC at 3:10 AM on the 14th (what is up with all these actors being on at the same time?) There’s no major conflict this time, though, because it airs again at 3:20 AM on the 22nd. You can also see her on July 21st in a repeat of an episode of Seinfeld.

Finally, you can check out James Denton in the movie This Old Feeling. It’s going to air on July 11th at 7:15 AM. If you miss that, you can also see him on July 16th in a repeat of The West Wing. That’s on Bravo at 8 AM. So that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all again on Monday. Have a great weekend and enjoy this performance by Band From TV posted by JuankyDiaz:

Hello again! So, I guess you can tell that I love to browse youtube to find things I can share with y’all on the blog. This time, I came across an interview with Teri Hatcher. She was on The View (yes, again… she sure loves that show) to do some promotion for the DVD release of the animated movie Coraline. Most of the interview was about the movie and her promotional trip to Australia for it. They show some cute pictures of her and Emerson enjoying the sites and rafting. Teri also tells a little story about getting pranked while there by the same people who sprayed water on Tom Cruise during a red carpet appearance. It’s a pretty cute story, although she does admit it was a little scary at the time.

The part I’m sure you’re all going to love is the stuff about Desperate Housewives. It was cute, because she was so giddy and excited about getting to tell a couple little details about the new season. One tidbit was about Drea coming to the show. She talked briefly about that and how Drea is part of a family coming to the Lane (they’re now casting for her husband and 19-year-old son). She also confirms what most of us already knew- it’s either her or Katherine under the veil. The new detail? The one who isn’t has a breakdown. Yeah, I’m wondering about that myself. I can see Susan having one, but Katherine? After everything she’s been through? I kinda doubt a broken engagement would send her reeling that hard. At least, I hope it wouldn’t… if she is, in fact, the one not under the veil. Check the interview out for yourself, thanks to TeriHatcherWeb:

I guess that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all next time!! Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of all this!

Hello again!! Ok, I have some good news about the next season. It’s a casting thing, so if you don’t wanna know you might wanna skip this one. For everyone else, follow me to the cut. Read the rest of this entry »
