[QUOTE="Toni, post: 436932, member: 82"] I was (and am) a big DH fan. Many factors make it an instant classic (like happened with "6 Feet Under" and "Game of Thrones" later): the flawless cast with actresses who either made a comeback (Hatcher, Sheridan, Cross) or were great discoveries (Longoria, Huffman), a supporting cast that was even better (a who´s who of the American character actors, including a certain guy whose initials were LH), and a bunch of insanely hot men in shirtless scenes. And, of course, cliffhangers (did they invent the mid-season cliffhangers?). I don´t have any problem with the last season, I enjoyed it thoroughly, knowing it was "the end" for that universe. When I think of DH, nothing comes to my mind as the big "jumping the shark" moment: it was non-stop fun and a guilty pleasure with a heart. Of how many shows can we say that? I mentioned DH in a video as one of the shows that "pretended not to be a soap": they just created a new original genre that didn´t deliver too good material in other series. And, last but not least, those fantastic, super-creative promos from an inspired publicity staff: [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]rAbKBUJ4NRY[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]T-V7tiknkIk[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]wFq3RS548eQ[/MEDIA][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
