'Desperate Housewives' Dominates Sunday Night TV

Desperate Housewives topped the ratings poll for Sunday night premieres this week with all of its usual drama, albeit 5 years down the road from where it left off last May.

According to one TV critic I know and trust, MSNBC.com's Gael Fashingbauer-Cooper, the writers have been successful so far with the half-decade jump. The 'wives have new grown-up children (aka not toddlers) without the hassles of writing around pregnancies and babies, while the drama surrounding their relationships seems as feline as ever.

I have to agree with Gael, Edie is still bringing the sass, but now I have to wonder if Nicollette Sheridan is just a good actor or it's all natural.
