Four years after its smashing rookie season, Desperate Housewives, says some critics, just might get back to the Emmys race with its startling two-hour finale last Sunday. Most praised the show for the risk it took when it opted to shift the story five years to the future. The reboot, then, is seen as to have given the show its much-needed reformat.
The suburbia-themed ABC dramedy has competed for television's top plum only once, in 2005, during its maiden run, when it lost to the last year of Everybody Loves Raymond.
