One thing you have to say about the powers that be at
Desperate Housewives, they're really great with casting. Great looking guys, beautiful women, quirky character actors; we've seen them all on Wisteria Lane and usually they leave a lasting impression.

Former New Kid on the Block singer/actor Donnie Wahlberg is heading back to series television.
Wahlberg will team with and director/producer Jon Avnet for a new TNT series called Morse Code.

S01E03) I don't know that any of us can ever really understand the machinations that go into making the network schedule. After watching the first three episodes of
Traveler though, I'm left scratching my head wondering just what it was that kept this one tucked away for so long. I'll give in where
The Nine is concerned, because the pilot was very good. But how this one got passed over for
Six Degrees, Men In Trees, and the collection of little sit-coms that couldn't is beyond me.
