I think that YUM! Brands has realized that Desperate Housewives has already Jumped the Shark, as they say. It will survive this season by being as noisily controversial as possible, but that will be the end of it. It is beginning to look like DH was designed from the git-go to be a "one-season wonder". YUM! Brands is smart to benefit from the initial hype, but to avoid the messy denouement...

Desperate Housewives is Knots Landing with less clothes and a much older Nicolette Sheridan.

DH was designed from the git-go to be a "one-season wonder". According to a media reporter it was initially written for half a season with another show slated to replace it.

Terry Hatcher and the guy that plays her love interest have supposedly already signed contracts for a second season. So it looks like it will be at least a two-season wonder.
