TV time travel

Desperate Housewives

So maybe the ladies of Wisteria Lane aren’t trying to escape a magical island or run away from a race of genocidal robots, that doesn’t mean they can’t flash forward too! At the end of April’s season finale, “Desperate Housewives” traveled five years into the future, catching viewers up to speed on a few juicy bits that went down while they weren’t allowed to watch. The show picks up in the same place this fall, with different husbands, new careers, delinquent teens and, sadly, a chubby, unglamorous Eva Longoria.
