This Week's TV

On Desperate Housewives, a truly desperate housewife on wreaked havoc on the otherwise quiet lives of the residents of Wisteria Lane and took one life in the process. Last Sunday's episode, which was replayed last night after Grey's Anatomy (which had a solid, but not spectacular episode), was the best (so far) this season. It'll be interesting to see how the incident will affect the housewives' daily routines.

NBC picks up full season of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

This is good news for all Studio 60 lovers out there (myself included). I hope it pulls a House and lures enough viewers to make it a must-see television event.

House has a nemesis. Gifted character actor David Morse (The Negotiator, The Green Mile, Proof of Life) joins the medical drama in a recurring role.

Morse's Michael Tritter is an irritable, insecure, cigarette-quitting, nicotine gum-smoking police officer who's out to make House's already miserable life even more miserable. He's like the chairman-of-the-board character of season two, but more irritating.

I'm not saying House is the most pleasant guy on the block, but at least he has a sense of humor. Tritter takes himself too seriously and that makes him really annoying.

Lost had it's fall season finale last Wednesday and it's a major cliffhanger. Nakakbitin!

Until it's return on February 7 (Ang tagal pa!), ABC viewers will have to fill their Wednesday nights with Daybreak, a new series starring Taye Diggs (How Stella Got Her Groove Back). Based on the previews, the concept is kinda like Groundhog Day but with a lot of drama and action.

Not too excited about that.
