Eva Longoria Defends Desperate Housewives Dip in Ratings
photo courtesy of PR Photos/www.prphotos.comEva Longoria has reportedly defended the Desperate Housewives show insisting that their drop in ratings wasn’t caused by creator Marc Cherry. During the third season, ratings dipped 25% on two previous series and the TV show received tons of criticism with blame placed on Cherry’s decision not to be as involved in the writing process. Eva maintained that series three was her favorite though because her character Gabrielle had great storylines. She explained:
“You can tell when he’s written an episode or not or he’s touched up a scene. He has a very unique tone to every word that he puts on the page. He’s a genius. The baby, the nun, the adoption, the maid - it was a fun arc for her (Gabrielle). I think every season has been unique. Season one was a phenomenon, (and) my favorite episode to date was the pilot, it was just incredible. (But) you can’t relive that, you can’t recreate that.”
Eva’s right for once, they can’t go back and perhaps the show is on its way out. I don’t watch the show because I could never stand to watch more than a few minutes of it, but let’s see how much longer it lasts.
