oh yes, it does make sense. With DH, we still don't know everyone's back stories, and its taking forever for them to reveal anything.
With SATC, right away you could tell where the girls were in their lives and pretty much how they were. __________________

Exactly. Although I love DH and the mysteries surrounding whatever the heck is going on. SaTC was so much more relatable which is why I like it much more than DH - although I don't know if any show (other than Friends) will affect me in the way these two have.

I don't watch DH, I'm not sure why I just didn't start watching it. But the article was an interesting read, thanks for that. I heard one of the girls from DH say somewhere that it was like Sex and the Suburbs or something like that.

i think it really, really wants to be sex and the city...desperate housewives is a little too soap opera-like to me, though. something i love about sex and the city is how in your face it is. to me, dh wants to be, but it tries too hard to stay cute.
sex and the suburbs is a good name. __________________

Heres an article that makes it sound like the two were supposed to be alike. Wonder if HBO is kicking themselves for not picking it up?

The only similarity I see is between Charlotte & Bree and Miranda & Lynette. The whole Susan/Stanford & other stuff is funny but overstreaching.

I just watched my first episode last night and I don't really think the show is that much like SATC.
I definitely don't think Gabrielle is like Carrie but I can kind of see some of the other comparisons. I thought the Susan/Stanford one was hilarious. __________________

Well, I've only watched one episode of DH and that was back when it first came out. And, I didn't get a SATC vibe from it. But, I could def see a similarity between Charlotte and Bree.

I thought I would ... but other then the show centering around 4 women, I don't see the similarities. They, to me, are two completely different shows.

Eh, not really. DH is not as sex-oriented, compared to SatC.
The show SatC had the most in common with is The Golden Girls, which, ironically, was produced by Marc Cherry, who created DH. __________________

 Now I've never heard at SATC and Golden Girls comparisson, but I guess the friendships are kinda parallel.__________________

I don't think that Desperate Housewives is the new Sex and the City because nothing is comparable with the best serious ever!

I don't think DH has nearly as much heart as SATC does
 The bond between the girl was a huge factor of the show and was always there. On DH they just have drama. And I think SATC is so relatable. And Carrie is the main area of the show while DH doesn't have a main character.__________________

I totaly agree with you!
Furthermore DH has some good episodes and some not that good and the ones from SATC are all great! __________________
