"Desperate Housewives" ("DH") is that show that was always on TV growing up. With Eva Longoria and Terry Hatcher gracing the covers of most magazines, the show surrounded us everywhere. When it got put on Netflix, I spent all of high school telling my parents I was doing homework when I was actually watching "DH" on my laptop all day every day. I am now in college, and I've bought a Hulu subscription just so that my roommates and I can watch "Desperate Housewives" all the time. And trust me, we are constantly watching "Desperate Housewives."
