Did I hear that correctly? Five years later the twins are 15? The don't look older then about 8 in the most recent season. Parker always looked older then the Twins too.

It's a soap opera. They are notorious for playing with ages of children. A baby one day 20 the next.

They've established in flashbacks and voice overs that the twins were born first on a few different occasions.
FWIW, in real life, the twins will be 11 in November, and Zane Huett, who plays Parker turned 11 in May. So kudos to all of you eagle-eyed folks really picking up on that 6 month difference.

As we have all figured out already, Lynette and Tom's kids will be recast for the upcoming season of DH, since it has jumped 5 years into the future. The twins will be 15-16, Parker will be early teens (I thought that he was the oldest, too) and Penny will be 9. Andrew will still be around in the guise of Shawn Pyfrom, but Danielle (and Joy Lauren) will not be back. As for Mike, nobody would tell MWM anything, but he suspects that James Denton will be around at least for flashbacks to tell us what happened to his marriage to Susan. I'm still not on board with this jump if it means losing Mike, not that I have much say in the matter. 
Uh, Greek...sorry, I don't watch it, so I didn't pay any attention to this bit. I think that Charisma Carpenter is going to be back.
Stargate Atlantis will have an exciting season opener, with some good McKay moments. Carter will go on an expedition that could be her last ever. Again, I didn't listen too closely because I'm so far behind on this show, and I didn't want to spoil anything. Um...I guess that I wasn't the best person to take on a recap of MMM, was I?

Hmm....how odd. I always thought Parker was older than Porter and Preston. The Kinsman kids look a couple of years younger than Zane Huett.
So, at 14 Parker has already had a stint in juvie? Hmmm. I am still not on board with this 5 year jump ahead. I truly think it is a terrible idea.

I'm sorry... I really enjoy DH. But, this 5-year flash forward kills it for me. I would have been fine with them showing the clip and than have the rest of the series lead up to this. My biggest complaint is the way Gaby turns out! I love her as the fashionista!
*Maybe I'm misunderstanding the plan for next year, but I don't like it!

There was nothing original in that Housewives segment...all that news has been widely available to anyone who wanted it since BEFORE the finale aired; USA Today broke those facts in a story some days earlier.

Greek's a good show. I just caught the last few episodes, and it's entertaining. It's funny, but also has the relationships that keep people coming back. I want to know about storylines for next season though. The finale left a few question marks.

I think jumping ahead 5 years, with changing characters might ruin Desperate Housewives. I also think if they give Gabby 2 preteens, in which Gabby lost her looks & her figure is totally changing her character, as well as the show. Maybe some aspects of it, if written well, could work ,but in general, I think it's a Bad idea.
