Talk:List of Desperate Housewives episodes

message: Someone changed the colours on the seasons and I don't know how to change it back and was wondering if someone could change it back to the original colours as these colours are horrible. Sorry to say that but they are. Sceal101 (talk) 21:15, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

*It's not really your choice. That's why we talk about things as a group in the discussion board. That picture you gave was very poor.  Can you find a better one? Sfufan2005 18:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Uploaded new image of Susan sending Zach to Utah. I hope that is to everyone's satisfactory. Sfufan2005 18:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Excuse me, but was that really necessary? It was the only picture available and the one you produced was blurry. Just because you don't like Susan doesn't mean that we have to change the picture to appease you. And if you continue to vandalize these pages you will be blocked.

message: *Just wanted to confirm that this is the episode title for Episode 206. It is confirmed on many sites as well TV.com , getdesperate.com . So there is no need for deletion. Sfufan2005 22:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: I Wish I Could Forget You

message: Throughout the episode list the name of the screenwriter Joe Keenan is some now wrongly linked to an article about a homonymous football player.
Some of the episode articles have been mistaken about the origins of the show's episode titles. I think I've fixed the currently existing articles: for the upcoming episodes with known titles, here are the correct versions: 
The episode title is that of the song "We're Gonna Be All Right", from Richard Rodgers's musical Do I Hear a Waltz?. The song has two sets of lyrics, both by Stephen Sondheim: the expurgated version was used in the original production. 
The episode title is that of the song "There's Something About a War", which was written for, but cut from, Stephen Sondheim's musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - Nunh-huh 22:52, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inaccuracies 

message: *I just want to clarify that episode 220 "It Wasn't Meant to Happen" was NEVER known as "Someone Hot This Way Comes", this was a supposed title by TVGUIDE. I cannot find any source for this as a working title and do not believe that after all the episodes showcasing titles by Sondheim would change for one episode and return back in the next. Unless someone can find the proper source this should not be included in the episode's trivia as it is continuously added by Depressio1992 even after I revert it. Sfufan2005 03:26, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Someone Hot This Way Comes"

message: *I have changed Guest Starring and Co-Starring to Guest Starring on every single episode page. That means, that only the guest stars after the opening credits can be found there, not the ones in the closing credits. On every episode page they are credited in the order they were credited in the actual episode. Shawn Pyfrom and Joy Lauren tend to be credited with like 5 people between them, but I can't do anything about that. There is no need to update guest stars from episodes 1.01 to 2.20 anymore, unless someone is planning on updating ALL of them with the co-starring credits shown after the episode ends. In some cases, this update meant more guest stars, in some cases it meant less. Dan777 11:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I thought that Could I Leave You? was originally called Road You Didn't Take which is from Stephen Sondheim's Follies.  Does anyone know the truth about this? Cheater1908 00:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Why isn't the question mark on the end of Remember.  On the Stephen Sondheim musical A Little Night Music it is. Cheater1908 01:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Remember?

message: A head's up that a weeks-long discussion has been going on at Talk:List_of_Lost_episodes/Use_of_images about the inclusion of screen captured images, such as those used in this list article. The position by some admins appears to be that they are a violation of Copyright and do not fall under Fair Use. Consequently, the images were deleted from the Lost episode list, and likewise will probably be removed from this one-- unless opinion on the use of such images changes. --LeflymanTalk 19:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of images in Lists of episodes 

message: *I noticed that episode 1-11 (Move On) had a brief cameo of Edie moving onto Wisteria Lane.  I noticed that all of the housewives were there and Lynette was carrying Penny.  Penny was born in 2004, so this must've been the year she moved in.  This is kind of speculation, I know, because it was never mentioned, but it's reasonable.  Would it be all right if I added this into the flashback section on the Remember page? Cheater1908 02:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: When Edie moved in

message: There is a debate going on over the original airdate of the special, "Time to Come Clean".  It was either September 2nd or September 3rd.  Anyone know the truth about this? Cheater1908 17:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Time to Come Clean 

message: Greetings
Are you aware that the recaps of episode 1.02 "Ah, But Underneath" is very similar then the one in tv.com : http://www.tv.com/desperate-housewives/ah-but-underneath/episode/345812/summary.html
Some sentances are just plain copy & paste. I did not check other episodes because I do not want to spoil the show that I just started to watch, but you may want to look into that.
And since you're at it, you might as well change it: Carlos might actually know about their affair: thats' plain wrong : there is nothing in that epsiode to indicate that he does.

message: I am not sure how many of you noticed the subtle vandalism that the final episodes of Season 3 were subject to. I have tried cleaning up, by removing obvious  ones like:
Bree smiles a smile.
Breee drinks a drink.
etc.
But since I don't live in the US and currently don't get to see the Third Season, it would be good if someone from the US could have a look at the final few episodes of Season 3 and see if I removed something pertinent, or if some vandalism is still existing.

message: I plan on redirecting these per WP:EPISODE soon. Information from multiple secondary sources must be present for a single episode to need an article. This includes reception and development.

text: Absolutely support this idea. Don't completely understand. See List of Lost episodes, List of The Simpsons episodes, List of Degrassi: The Next Generation episodes, List of Smallville episodes, et. al., which are all Featured lists, and all have season pages, which are also Featured in some cases.
