Not Only For Desperate Housewives ;)

Hello my precious readers! :)
I'd like to dedicate this post to one of probably the best shows out there, Desperate Housewives.

The setting of the show is the street of Wisteria Lane in the fictional American town of Fairview in the Eagle State. It follows the lives of a group of women, seen through the eyes of their dead neighbor. They work through domestic struggles and family life, while facing the secrets, crimes and mysteries hidden behind the doors of their - at the surface - beautiful and seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood

It began back in 2004 and I don't think I missed a single episode since then! Also, as some other shows, it's funny how it progressed from having a few little jokes at times to being completely hilarious along with a very serious and interesting story line during the whole season. Meanwhile, its main characters: Susan, Lynette, Bree and Gabrielle are making their way even deeper into audience's hearts, trying to be good parents, reliable friends, passionate lovers/wives and still be able to keep their own secrets >:)
I'm not sure if the series were meant to aim at audience in their 30's-40's, but I was 17 at the time it started and always thought it was somehow educational, because the whole show is a very good example of a real life with its real situations and consequences! (I was always told I was too mature for my age though, but still I see it that way! ;) )

Since its premiere on ABC on October 3, 2004, the show has been well received by viewers and critics alike. The show is a multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award winner. The series premiere drew 21.6 million viewers and the show's first season finale attracted over 30 million viewers. In 2007 it was reported to be the most popular show in its demographic worldwide, with an audience of approximately 120 million and was also reported that the series is the third most watched TV show in a study of ratings in 20 countries. In 2010, it was the most-watched comedy series internationally, with an average viewership of 51.6 million viewers across 68 territories. It has held this position since 2006. Moreover, it was the third-highest revenue earning show for 2010, with US$2.74 million per half hour.
Desperate Housewives was officially renewed by ABC on May 17, 2011 for an eighth season.
The season premiere episode was broadcast on Sunday, September 25 and it will be the show's final season...
