YES! Because of Big Brother 9 Desperate Housewives will air at 9:00pm instead of 10:00pm which makes it more accessible to everyone!! I don't like Big Brother that much but YES I love what its done to the Desperate Housewives schedule!!

I got this from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperate_Housewives_Season_4

You can also find ratings there I've been adding the E4 ratings

woopy woop wop woppppp

I hope I don't forget

when does the change start?

The 4th of June

That's far better than 10:00pm IMO. Although I do love Big Brother.

shawada yeh me too

Lol, I used to love BB but now im bored of it, but thank god its on. I hope DH ratings improve because of this

Ok 4th June. Desperate Housewives. 9.00. *Imprints on Brain*

Oooh yes! Thats perfect! 10pm was always quite late when you have to get up at 7 the next morning and I generally dont do anything between 9 and 10 waiting for it to come on...

Are you sure? Everything I've heard says that there is going to be a break. DigiGuide don't have anything past ep10 listed.

dammit!

9pm on 4th June is River Cottage Spring apparently

Yes, sadly its on a break. Channel 4 treats Desperate Housewives like a piece of crap on their shoes! They've lost viewers for good now. I've lost respect for them, Desperate Housewives is much better quality then Big Brother. Big Brother is a dying show, I hope the show crashes and burns. I'm just going to download them all for next season, I've already seen up to the finale for this season. They've lost one viewer! Before I never wanted Sky to get Desperate Housewives but now I hope they do, or at least ITV or the BBC, because Channel 4 seems to have no respect for its US Imports.

Channel 4 sucks.

I wonder how it will rate at 9.

Hi,

Thanks for your comments regarding Desperate Housewives... As you may have now heard, series 4 is going to break over the summer, returning in the autumn.

Having read numerous comments about this across the forums (and having understood your frustrations), I contacted C4's head of scheduling to get the lowdown on the situation.

Here's the official response below - hope it answers some of your questions:

------------------------------------------------

The reason we're taking a break in the run of series 4 is two-fold. Firstly, as I am sure you are aware, due to the Writers Strike, we had to delay the start of the series. Secondly, we had to plan our forthcoming schedules on the assumption that we would receive fewer (or even no further) episodes past episode 10.

Our schedules are drafted many months in advance and so during the break in production, we had to assume that Desperate Housewives would not be available to screen. It was therefore safer to assume that we would be able to play any remaining episodes which we might receive, in the Autumn.

I am happy to be able to tell you that we are planning to screen the remaining episodes of series 4 and the start of series 5 this year. That means we will be in sync with the US transmissions of the series and that we are able to screen a bumper run of the series in the Autumn, which we thought viewers would appreciate.

Again, we are sorry that events have meant we have had to interrupt the series in this way. We do try very hard to run all our series continuously, but unforeseen events conspired against us on this occasion.
