Three more Desperate years

Beverly Hills - The creator of the hit TV show Desperate Housewives says he plans to end the series in three years.
Marc Cherry, who is also the show's executive producer, told a meeting of the Television Critics Association on Thursday that he plans to end the ABC series after seven seasons.
The domestic comedy-drama starring Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria begins its fifth season this year.
"I love working with these gals, but the idea of letting anyone else take the show from me kind of makes me sad and sick to my stomach," Cherry said. "We're going to get out while people still like us."
"Of course," he added, "this could be some clever ruse on my part to get tremendous amounts of money in season eight, but who knows?"
