Check out our Review Roundup of the series finale of Desperate Housewives…
As we reported last week, one of the few semi-jewels left in ABC’s crown is Desperate Housewives, and that the once-bright show is now being dimmed for a May 2012 series finale. And while fans of the show can expect to say goodbye to such familiar faces as Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria, fans shouldn’t expect an opportunity to say farewell to Nicollette Sheridan.
There was a brief moment there in 2004 when Desperate Housewives was everywhere. With networks picking up the slack from the great HBO shows that helped redifine modern television, Housewives was clever, and was quickly an Emmy favorite. It launched Eva Longoria – who nearly became a movie star – and gave Teri Hatcher the “big return” role, while Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman gave it dignity, and in return got paychecks. And though there was cast drama, the show burned bright, and has now faded, with a scheduled May 2012 end date.
Sunday night ABC aired the seventh season premiere of “Desperate Housewives,” which was filled with new faces including Brian Austin Green and “Ugly Betty” alum, Vanessa L. Williams. The duo will add some spice to the show with their respective storylines that include lies, adultery, and seduction. In other words, the usual. Check out what people are saying about last night’s premiere…
Brian Austin Green or as we like to call him BAG, has been steadily working over the past few years thanks to appearances on cult shows like Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and The CW’s “Smallville.” The actor’s latest gig will involve him and the lovely ladies of ABC’s “Desperate Housewives,” which he’ll guest star on this fall. Are you interested in seeing which lucky housewife he’ll be interacting with? Find out in the following photo…
Brian Austin Green or BAG as we like to call him is nearing a deal to join those psychos on Wisteria Lane. According to THR, Green is in talks to join the cast of the ABC series “Desperate Housewives” as the new neighborhood hunk (rolls eyes). Lately the actor has found plenty of steady television work (that doesn’t include “Dancing with the Stars”) and is showing no signs of slowing down.
“Desperate Housewives” has never been on my radar, but the show is trying to pull in the sci-fi fans with the latest edition to their cast. According to EW, “Torchwood” alum John Barrowman has signed on to do a multiple episode arc on the series. How the hell did they manage to pull that off? Who’s ready to see Captain Jack take a trip down Wisteria Lane?
Best known for her role as Gabrielle on the ABC hit Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria Parker is crossing over to feature films. The actress will step into the shoes of executive producer with her upcoming project, Harvest. According to Variety, this won’t be a scripted feature but a documentary that will focus on the serious subject of migrant workers. More specifically migrant children who work for sub-poverty wages across the southern border states.
Harvest is currently in production and should be finished by early next year. The film will be produced by Albie Hecht and his wife Susan MacLaury. They own a non-profit company called Shine Global, which raises awareness about child abuse and exploitation. The producing partners were recognized by AMPAS in 2007 when they received an Oscar nomination for their documentary War Dance. Harvest will also be co-produced and directed by U. Roberto Romano.
