• Converted to prettytable format since a lot of other shows seem to have the same format. Also added writer/director credits since those are important as well. I did not change the plot, just copied and pasted from the former Desperate Houewives (Season 1) article. I moved the article to this to combine the 2 seasons.

[edit] My Heart Belongs to Daddy

• I will not accept Susan and Mike Jpeg for the Episode 2.04 Summary! It does not represent what the Episode is about at all!!!

PzzSchoolRules

• It's not really your choice. That's why we talk about things as a group in the discussion board. That picture you gave was very poor. Can you find a better one? Sfufan2005 18:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Uploaded new image of Susan sending Zach to Utah. I hope that is to everyone's satisfactory. Sfufan2005 18:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

• Hey SF if I find a better pic of Mike holding the Paper would that be OK?
• It would be fine. Sfufan2005 23:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I have restored the episode photo for 2.04, since that is the only photo released for that episode. -- Dan777

• • NOT FOR LONG! I will not allow that EVIL Witch Susan to be represented for this Episode after what she did to ZACH!!!! PzzSchoolRules

Excuse me, but was that really necessary? It was the only picture available and the one you produced was blurry. Just because you don't like Susan doesn't mean that we have to change the picture to appease you. And if you continue to vandalize these pages you will be blocked. Sfufan2005 20:43, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

OK I have decided to just let it go!!! Mike and Zach are going to be reunited on Episode 11 or 12 So whatever :) PzzSchoolRules

[edit] I Wish I Could Forget You

• Just wanted to confirm that this is the episode title for Episode 206. It is confirmed on many sites as well TV.com [1], getdesperate.com [2]. So there is no need for deletion. Sfufan2005 22:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] inaccuracies

Some of the episode articles have been mistaken about the origins of the show's episode titles. I think I've fixed the currently existing articles: for the upcoming episodes with known titles, here are the correct versions:

The episode title is that of the song "We're Gonna Be All Right", from Richard Rodgers's musical Do I Hear a Waltz?. The song has two sets of lyrics, both by Stephen Sondheim: the expurgated version was used in the original production.

The episode title is that of the song "There's Something About a War", which was written for, but cut from, Stephen Sondheim's musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - Nunh-huh 22:52, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Someone Hot This Way Comes"

• I just want to clarify that episode 220 "It Wasn't Meant to Happen" was NEVER known as "Someone Hot This Way Comes", this was a supposed title by TVGUIDE. I cannot find any source for this as a working title and do not believe that after all the episodes showcasing titles by Sondheim would change for one episode and return back in the next. Unless someone can find the proper source this should not be included in the episode's trivia as it is continuously added by Depressio1992 even after I revert it. Sfufan2005 03:26, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guest Starring

• I have changed Guest Starring and Co-Starring to Guest Starring on every single episode page. That means, that only the guest stars after the opening credits can be found there, not the ones in the closing credits. On every episode page they are credited in the order they were credited in the actual episode. Shawn Pyfrom and Joy Lauren tend to be credited with like 5 people between them, but I can't do anything about that. There is no need to update guest stars from episodes 1.01 to 2.20 anymore, unless someone is planning on updating ALL of them with the co-starring credits shown after the episode ends. In some cases, this update meant more guest stars, in some cases it meant less. Dan777 11:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Could I Leave You?

I thought that Could I Leave You? was originally called Road You Didn't Take which is from Stephen Sondheim's Follies. Does anyone know the truth about this? Cheater1908 00:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• Actually, it wasn't. Someone at some message board posted all the wrong titles for episodes 2.16 to 2.23, most of them were Sondheim songs, but none of them came from an official source. Dan777 20:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remember?

Why isn't the question mark on the end of Remember. On the Stephen Sondheim musical A Little Night Music it is. Cheater1908 01:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• The song title has one, but the official press release for the episode says only "Remember" and unless reported otherwise before the episode airs (by ABC and Touchstone), that will remain the title. Dan777 20:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• I also don't recall Mrs. McCluskey (Kathryn Joosten) being in this episode. When did she appear? Cheater1908 17:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
  • McCluskey was in the episode. She was credited at the beginning and appeared when all of the neighbors watched Betty and Caleb get into the police car. Sfufan2005 17:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One Wonderful Day (Desperate Housewives episode)

Thanks for fixing that. Rich Farmbrough 11:26 21 May 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Use of images in Lists of episodes

A head's up that a weeks-long discussion has been going on at Talk:List_of_Lost_episodes/Use_of_images about the inclusion of screen captured images, such as those used in this list article. The position by some admins appears to be that they are a violation of Copyright and do not fall under Fair Use. Consequently, the images were deleted from the Lost episode list, and likewise will probably be removed from this one-- unless opinion on the use of such images changes. --Leflyman^Talk 19:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• I've seen that, it's absolutely ridiculous, they won't even let them have DVD covers. Thanks for the heads up tho. Dan777 20:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When Edie moved in

• I noticed that episode 1-11 (Move On) had a brief cameo of Edie moving onto Wisteria Lane. I noticed that all of the housewives were there and Lynette was carrying Penny. Penny was born in 2004, so this must've been the year she moved in. This is kind of speculation, I know, because it was never mentioned, but it's reasonable. Would it be all right if I added this into the flashback section on the Remember page? Cheater1908 02:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, that can be added. But what if it wasn't Penny, but Parker that Lynette was holding? But it most probably was Penny, because the twins being only one year older would have to be around there too. And so should Mary Alice. Dan777 20:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Time to Come Clean

There is a debate going on over the original airdate of the special, "Time to Come Clean". It was either September 2nd or September 3rd. Anyone know the truth about this? Cheater1908 17:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] suspected copyright violation

Greetings

Are you aware that the recaps of episode 1.02 "Ah, But Underneath" is very similar then the one in tv.com : http://www.tv.com/desperate-housewives/ah-but-underneath/episode/345812/summary.html

Some sentances are just plain copy & paste. I did not check other episodes because I do not want to spoil the show that I just started to watch, but you may want to look into that.

And since you're at it, you might as well change it: Carlos might actually know about their affair: thats' plain wrong : there is nothing in that epsiode to indicate that he does. Dunwich 18:51, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Most of the synopses come from abcmedianet.com where the TV.com synopsis was derived. Just stating the original source. I'm not going to change it without a consensus.Sfufan2005 21:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Present caps have to be changed

The present episode images require changing, per here:

Perhaps screen capture pictures from a DVD could be used in place of these. It works well with Grey's Anatomy and House episode pages. Sfufan2005 19:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] et al.???

The "Time to Come Clean" special is narrated by Marc Cherry et al.--I'm only 14, so my vocabulary is still building, could someone please explain to me what et al. means? Thanks! Cheater1908 18:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Latin; which means "and others" thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 18:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, OK, thanks! :-) Cheater1908 02:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
