See TV Movies With Your Favorite 'Housewives' on Lifetime

So is Desperate Housewives a comedy or drama? I think it is a mixture of both. I will just call it a one hour sitcom-dram. I think I just made that term up. Nevertheless, this is a big month for thouse Housewives. First off, the biggest is of course the season premiere on Sunday, September 25 at 9 p.m on ABC. Make sure everyone tunes into that. Second, pick up the Desperate Housewives first season DVD, filled with over five hours of bonus material, on Tuesday, September 20. SitcomsOnline.com will have a DVD review of that set as soon as we get it. We hope to have the review up late next week.

Lifetime Television is going to celebrate the Housewives DVD and second season premiere by showcasing past TV movies from your favorite housewives, including the newest housewife Alfre Woodard. Tune in all afternoon and evening on Saturday, September 17 and Sunday, September 18 for those "juicy"(as that new ABC promo calls them) Housewives in TV movies. Watch the Housewives mess with other stars like Farrah Fawcett, John Ritter, Gary Cole, Katherine Helmond, and many more. The following is the schedule:

Saturday, September 17
1:00 p.m. Extremities (1986) -- Alfre Woodard
3:00 p.m. The Devil's Bed (1994) -- Nicollette Sheridan
5:00 p.m. Last Man on the List (1998) --Nicollette Sheridan
7:00 p.m. Snap Decision (2001) -- Felicity Huffman
9:00 p.m. Living in Fear (2001) -- Marcia Cross
12:00 a.m. Formula for Death (1995) -- Nicollette Sheridan

Sunday, September 18
10:30 a.m. Miss Evers' Boys -- Alfre Woodard
1:00 p.m. A Time to Heal (1994) -- Nicollette Sheridan
3:00 p.m. A Touch of Fate (2003) -- Teri Hatcher
5:00 p.m. Deadly Visions (2004) -- Nicollette Sheridan
7:00 p.m. Deadly Betrayal (2002) -- Nicollette Sheridan

Only Eva Longoria is not featured, but she is relatively new to the business and does not have any TV movies from the past.
