THANK YOU, Marc, for cementing Mike and Suan as THE supercouple to watch on "Desperate Housewives." Just loved the return of the focus on Mikesan!

Word to that!

They are such a great couple. Teri and James have had wonderful chemistry from the start of Season 1, and it's OBVIOUS they are meant to be together. I love them so much.

What a great episode, and Felicity Huffman is such a terrific actress. When she said the "Nine years ... and I have loved every minute of it" line ... oh my!

I think it was silly to show Bree's back, for crying out loud.

I just read that there won't be a new DH episode until April! WTF?

No freaking way?! April?

No freaking way?! April?

No wonder the ratings are dropping. STOP WITH THE HIATUSES!!!!

This was more of a filler episode to be honest. The previews lied and didn't see Edie taking her clothes off in front of Carlos. Looks like that'll be the next episode haha, whenever that is. Nice to see Edie's child. Sucks that Danielle is pregnant and BREE couldnt be there! Ugh!

Yay for a new episode this Sunday!!! (I think)

Writer splits from 'Wives'

By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER, JOSEF ADALIAN

Joe Keenan, the former "Frasier" scribe who helped Marc Cherry bring the buzz back to "Desperate Housewives," is ankling the show after one season.

Industry insiders said Keenan was leaving because he has a desire to work on original material rather than an existing skein. Departure is being described as amicable, but there have also been indications of creative tension between Keenan and Cherry.

Keenan will stay through the end of the current season, which wraps production in a few weeks, and is talking to ABC TV Studio reps about coming back during the summer to help set the stage for the next season of "Housewives." He may also wind up making an overall deal at a studio, with ABC TV Studio a possible suitor.

Scribe was behind one of the most critically acclaimed episodes of "Desperate Housewives" this season: "Bang," in which several characters are held hostage in a supermarket by Laurie Metcalf's character.

Keenan told Daily Variety last month that he'd enjoyed the transition to the hourlong world and that he was "compelled for the first time to think visually as much as verbally."

At the same time, he said it required an adjustment to adapt to serial writing, noting that stories can't be broken individually. Instead, with each plot point being led into the next, most large episodes are group written (though Keenan penned "Bang" himself).

"By and large, you're doing things a little more piecemeal, with credit being rotated," he said. "It's not quite the same sense of authorship except in rare instances. And at the end of the day, the higher-ups will be in polishing everything."

Keenan's other credits include the late, lamented CBS laffer "Out of Practice," which he created; he was also behind CBS' short-lived "Bram & Alice."

The scribe spent a decade on "Frasier" as well. His feature credits

Aw, that's sad that he's leaving. If he was behind "Bang", we know he's talented.

Did anyone watch the "Most Memorable Moments" show? I enjoyed it. But HOLY CRAP at those previews for the future. What was that thing with Klaclusky (sp). What could she be hiding?!?!

I have been waiting for a Mrs. McKlusky mystery since we first got introduced to her in the first season. And kudos to whoever thought it wise to build a mystery around an existing character rather than a new one.

YAY for a new episode tonight!!!!

LOVE the Edie developments tonight. Too bad it took Marcia getting pregnant for Nicollette to get a bump in screentime. I love that we got to see her and Gabby as friends. I always thought those two were the most alike out of any of the women and wondered why they rarely ever have scenes. Edie and Carlos actually work for me and I wonder how Gabby will react to this

Tonight was probabl the first time all season that I was actually feeling Gabby and her story.

I found tonight's show boring. Nothing held my interest.

I found tonight's show boring. Nothing held my interest.

I agree. Even Edie (my favorite character) wasn't that great tonight, although I LOVED her last scene. Proves Nicollette can do more than just comic relief.

Next week doesn't look that great either, unfortunately.

I'm watching now.

Dang, Susan and the vittles! Poor thing! But her mishaps NEVER get old.

It wasn't bad, but I liked Edie.

Carlos is pudgy.

Yeah, kinda boring overall.

Oh, poor Gabby's wardrobe!! This is HEARTBREAKING!!!

And why is Lynette screwing with Tom this way by not wearing the orange?! Um, didn't you two JUST agree an episode or two ago that TOM wears the pants for this business?!

STAND IN your PLACE, Lynette. TOM is the man in this operation. BOW DOWN. WORSHIP YOUR HUSBAND!!!
