Fall TV Watch: What's Hot, What's Not

Originally posted 09/22/2006 01:35PM

Watch It: Desperate Housewives (ABC, 9 p.m. ET) You can't care about television and not want the best for this series, which in its first season achieved a perfect synthesis of diva camp and solid serial drama. Then came the second season, a real muddle. Now what about season 3? In the opener, thrust into the foreground is prim Stepford beauty Bree (Marcia Cross). Her new love, the dentist Orson Hodge (Kyle MacLachlan), has a missing wife in his past. This unpleasant fact we learn from that excellent actress Laurie Metcalf (of Roseanne fame), who turns up as a sort of scolding messenger of doom. It's all very Bronte. There's something persistent and powerful about the show's underpinning of (fatally) abused women.

She may be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for Pride & Prejudice, but Keira Knightley still can't get any respect from her family and friends. "They've all been taking the piss out of me mercilessly," Knightley says about her Pirates of the Caribbean costars, including Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, who've been taunting her on the set of the movie's sequels. "Every single time I do a take, they go, 'Is that an Oscar-nominated take?' "

Jesse Metcalfe's 'Near-Death' Experience

Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe is thanking his lucky stars that his first visit to the Hamptons wasn't his last. The actor had what he calls "a near-death experience" on a recent charter flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport to the popular beach destination. "There was a lot of fog and we had to circle the runway three times," he told us later that night at the Hamptons club Star Room, where he hosted a Vogue and Cointreau cocktail party. "We thought maybe the plane was going down. I'm very happy to be alive."
