Thanks to Marc Cherry and Shonda Rhimes, the ABC show-runner panel was a good way to start the afternoon. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there, as the panels for
Dirty Sexy Money, Private Practice, and Desperate Housewives were surprisingly dull, especially considering the fact that Cherry and Rhimes returned for the
DH and
Practice panels, respectively.
Even something Cherry said that seemed like it would be news -- that he's going to end
DH after the seventh season -- turned out to be old hat, as he
announced the very same thing at the Winter 2007 tour. "Yeah, I've made the decision that after seven years, I will probably keel over in a hump and die," he said. "I love my baby, you know. I love working with these gals, but the idea of letting anyone else take the show from me kind of makes me sad and sick to my stomach."

(S04E16/S04E17) "I'm Wayne Davis. We're about to have some fun." - WayneAnswers. As ABC promised us, we've got them. The two-hour season finale of
Desperate Housewives wrapped up the season-long Katherine/Dylan/Wayne storyline, sent Kayla packing, and paved the way for a revamped Wisteria Lane.
For ease of writing and reading, I'll be commenting the events of "The Gun Song" and "Free" in one slightly longer than usual post. I sadly can't comment everything that happened in this special two-hour event, so feel free to dish and comment about what I didn't pick on.

Michael Weinfeld of the Associated Press was able to sit down with television's most neurotic homemaker. Marcia Cross, who plays Bree Hodge on
Desperate Housewives, dished about
this Sunday's big finale event. The muffin-baking, rose bush-pruning domestic diva told all about what happens to herself and the other inhabitants of Wisteria Lane.
SPOILER ALERT: Marcia Cross talks about the Desperate Housewives finale after the jump. Continue reading Marcia Cross dishes about Desperate Housewives finale

We learned yesterday that ABC's
Desperate Housewives will be
back for season five next fall, in its same time-slot of Sunday at 9 p.m. I'm sure creator Marc Cherry has stocked up on Tums in the past few years, as the series waffled between must-see and mediocrity. Right now, it's somewhere in the middle, although I've made a point to watch every week, so that says something right there.
ET Online is breaking news tonight that
Dana Delany will be returning to the series in the fall. Although no storyline has been as compelling as the murder intrigue that super-charged season one, the mystery surrounding Delany's Katherine Mayfair this season has been mildly interesting.
We know it has something to do with her daughter, Dylan (Lyndsy Fonseca) and ex-husband, Wayne (Gary Cole), who struck up a relationship with Dylan in recent weeks. I must admit, I'm curious enough to make sure the DVR records when the season finale rolls around.

(S04E13) "Everyone has a reason for not following the rules." - Mary AliceThings are definitely moving forward on Wisteria Lane. This week, we found out who set Rick's restaurant on fire, Mike finally discovered that Orson ran him over, Dylan met her father, and Edie actually made sense!

(S04E08) "If the cover has holes in it, the book is no good." - Susan to Julie when the latter tells her mother not to judge a book by its coverIt was blackmail time this week on
Desperate Housewives. Okay, that's nothing new but this week, it played an important part of more than one storyline. "A Distant Past" also offered the conclusion of the Stella storyline and started a new chapter in the Victor/Gaby/Carlos triangle.

About two years ago, I set out to list the hottest women on TV who are
over 40,
over 50, and
over 60. There were a lot candidates to choose from, even in the over 60 category, making it a particularly tough set of list to compose.
But now that our friends at AOL have decided to compile a list of TV's
50 sexiest women of all time (starting today with Nos. 50-41), I'm going to take on an even greater challenge: making one master list of seventeen beauties over 40. It's not as easy as you think; the TV landscape has changed a bit, and a few new strong contenders have recently entered their 40s, and a few of the previous list members have left the TV landscape. To make this list, a woman has to have been a regular or significant guest on a TV series or news program in 2007. So, after the jump, a list -- in no particular order -- of fifteen beauties who combine looks, maturity and grace to make one compellingly sexy package.
Thumbnails are with the list, but you can click on the gallery below to get a much better view of these lovely women. Then add your own choices in the comments.

(S04E06) "Sometimes greatness needs a little nudge." - MiltonThe moment of truth arrived: Danielle gave birth. About three weeks ago, I polled TV Squad visitors about
the sex of Danielle's baby. Close to 54% of the voters thought it would be a baby girl but
spoilers readers knew since mid-September that the baby would be a boy.

"Bossy women rule this street." - LynetteDesperate Housewives episodes are not consistent this year (were they ever in the past?) but they are at least entertaining. First, we got a good premiere. Then, we were treated with a delicious lemon meringue face off between Bree and Katherine. This was followed by a somewhat disappointing game night. And last week, we witness what I call a filler episode since storylines (maybe except the Bree one) didn't advance much and Susan was so ridiculously stupid that it was uncomfortable to watch her. In short, we were due for a good
Desperate Housewives episode.

"Uncomfortable people don't ask questions." - KatherineLast week introduced "Kree" or "Bretherine" (two suggestions made by TV Squad reader
D) to us. Most of the TV Squad readers who took part in
our poll seemed to like the nemesis and their respectful yet devilish fights. After last week's great episode, I had high expectations for this week's
Desperate Housewives: I wanted more Bree and Katherine face offs, I wanted to get a few clues to the Mayfairs' secret, and I wanted the hit man hired by Carlos to take care of Edie.

"We better start coming up with better lies." - KatherineAfter a controversial season premiere (in case you haven't heard,
ABC had to apologize for a joke Susan made while in Adam's office),
Desperate Housewives tries to have the Mayfairs, who moved to Wisteria Lane last week, settle in.
In last week's TV Squad DH poll, 68% of the voters said they thought the Mayfairs were a good addition to the show. Based solely on last week's episode, I have to agree. But now that we are getting more backstory about the Mayfairs and seeing them interact more with their neighbors, have we changed our mind?

"No more secrets. From now on, we tell every shocking details of our lives." - LynetteThe ladies of
Wisteria Lane
are back and it's certain that they won't follow through on the promise they made to each other to not keep secrets! The
Season Three finale of
Desperate Housewives may not have been the most
cliffhanger-y out there, but still, fans (I include myself in the lot) were wondering
what was in store for the ladies and their men this upcoming season. But most importantly, we wanted to know if Edie survived her suicide attempt.

After watching "
Getting Married,"
Desperate Housewives' third season finale, most viewers were wondering if Edie survived her suicide attempt. Even if the episode didn't leave us with a wide number of cliffhangers, we did ask ourselves other questions such as how long Gaby and Victor would stay married, how long before someone finds out Bree is not pregnant, how would Lynette cope with her illness, and how would Susan and Mike's marriage turn out to be. We have some answers for you!

ABC had so much star and producer power attending its All-Stars party for the TV Critics at the Beverly Hilton last night, it had to have had to have two -- count 'em
two -- tip sheets (one with stars; one with producers) for the media.
There was one typo, however For some reason, Marc Cherry was listed on the producers' list; sure, he's Desperate Housewives' top exec, but the man should have been put on the talent tip sheet, too. He knows how to tease a season and entertain a table full of reporters like no other!
Cherry gave the scoop on new characters played by Dana Delany and Nathan Fillion -- also, a preview of what's ahead for the other ladies of Wisteria Lane.

Big Lost scoop! Harold Perrineau is returning to the serial ABC drama as killer Michael Dawson.
Getting the news out of ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson wasn't easy, however.
The session began with Hope Hartman, one of ABC's top PR chiefs, getting the day off with some really good news -- because we're on the final legs of the tour's "death march with drinks" all ABC functions will take place on-site at the Beverly Hilton hotel. Woo-hoo!
