says that Tom Spezialy, executive producer and show runner, left the show on Friday following "an unspecified

I'm guessing he's got a deal to run another show on another network that's already picked up for series.
Housewives isn't exactly a sinking ship, but it's definitely not having a great sophomore year.

No, Desperate Housewives IS A SINKING SHIP.
The show has a high burnout rate. If there was a tank of sharks on Wysteria Lane, one of the women would have already been revving up a motorcycle.
(My definition of "burnout": Plot lines that seems captivating, but need wrapping up, replaced by plotlines that are either uninteresting or that make you go "WTF?")

I love Desperate Housewives but I am just sick to death of all the reruns and the shows that reiterate what's already happened. Are these actors getting paid so much that the public can't watch new episodes? I'm absolutely fed up with it. The same thing is happening on Lost. Face it, the shows will lose the audience because what's the point? If you watch all the time, you've already seen the episodes. Frankly, it's lame and they're gonna lose audience.
