Notes

  • Screen legend Joan Collins was one of the candidates for the role of Susan's mother, Sophie Bremmer, before Lesley Ann Warren eventually beat her out. (March 05, 2005 - Get Desperate!)

  • Teri Hatcher: "It's so funny because I was working with [Bob Newhart] and I was so nervous. 'I don't know what to call you -- Bob or Mr. Newhart.' And he said, 'Legend will be good.'" (March 16, 2005 - Get Desperate!)

  • Rumoured to feature Susan's mother pushing so hard to get her daughter back together with Mike Delfino, that Susan ends up trying to reunite her mother with her boyfriend. (March 29, 2005 - Get Desperate!)

  • The episode title this week is taken from a Stephen Sondheim song that featured in the musical "Into the Woods", and in the 1987 Broadway version was sung by Bernadette Peters. You can read the lyrics of the song.
