'Desperate Housewives' Spin-off Given Green Light; Finale Shocks (Video)

Lily Tomlin and Kathryn Joosten could be starring in their own ‘Desperate Housewives’ spinoff, say insiders.

"Desperate Housewives" will soon have a sister show starring Lily Tomlin and Kathryn Joosten.

Producers were apparently overwhelmed by the positive response for such a show, which would star the women as mystery-solving sisters, sources tell the New York Post. There’s no surprise here that people are excited — Joosten’s Karen McCluskey and Tomlin’s Roberta McCluskey have been a riot this season as they tried to dig up dirt on evildoer Dave.

Speaking of Dave — did you see last night’s episode, during which he sought to make good on killing young MJ Delfino? We won’t give anything away, but these two hours are evidence of why the show continues to be a ratings hit.

Here’s video of Tomlin and Joosten doing some sleuthing:

I would love to see a spin off I like their story line.  Although I really like them on desperate housewives and that means they would not be on that show.  So I’m torn.

This will not be a success in my opinion and would go down in flames within the first two episodes. Why producers wastes time and money on projects that clearly are not viable is beyond me. Lily is talented, but just because she has a slight "buddies in crime" relationship on Desperate, does not mean it will translate into a sitcom where they would be the focus.
