ABC's penchant for making pretty disgraceful women look ultimately honorable is kind of their thing, y'know? The network that peddles directly to that unsatisfied madam looking to escape life's doldrums with her next great secret romp has a brand new season of Desperate Housewives for you to devour, except all the actors and writers and producers have been changed, and the name's different, and it will sit in a completely different timeslot, but other than that, it's basically the same!

Mistresses will perhaps best be known for returning Alyssa Milano (Charmed) back to television glory, but she's far from alone: her foursome of deceptive women also include Yunjin Kim (Lost), Rochelle Aytes (White Chicks), and Jes Macallan (Shameless, Justified) as they frolic around town in the pants of men with varying degrees of unavailability. Watch the trailer below:

The summer flirtation will begin at ABC on June 3rd. The soapy drama series stars Milano, Jes Macallan, Rochelle Aytes and Yunjin Kim as four friends who are involved in “illicit and complex relationships”.

I see why ABC would order up 12 episodes and a pilot of Mistresses. It’s no secret that we love our prime time soaps. From Dallas to Desperate Housewives, tangled affairs are always worth a thrill. Right now one soapy drama in particular has my full attention, and that one is another ABC offering, the Kerry Washington starrer, Scandal. Of course, what makes Scandal unique is the divine political angle and a set up that makes it almost procedural in nature. The high priced...

ABC's upcoming midseason series "Mistresses" had two messages to deliver to the press at the TCA 2013 Winter Press Tour: The show will be different from its BBC inspiration and it will be sexy. Very sexy.

"Tonally the show is different from the BBC version," star Alyssa Milano says. "There's a lightness and a fun to what we try to do that's different."

"The BBC format happened at a much slower pace," executive producer Rina Mimoun ("Everwood") adds. "We took a lot of what they had and front-loaded our show with that. We had to run in a whole other direction because we had to make a lot more episodes."

Executive producer Bob Sertner ("Revenge") explains the decision to deviate from the original series was only logical: "We always said from the very beginning a show like this wouldn't be very fun to watch if you could go online and find out where it was heading.

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third one announced. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.

An odd year for the once mighty juggernaut which can still pack 'em in. It had surprise success stories with "Once Upon a Time" and "Revenge", the latter becoming an unexpected international hit, and several shows have gotten renewals despite more modest numbers. Still, with it battling with NBC for the third and fourth position overall, the network has to introduce ten shows over the course of the season in the hope of getting a few stickers.

Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen include the fashion label dynasty soap "Americana", ABC's update of the 90's "Beauty and the Beast" TV series, the Roland Emmerich-produced thriller "Dark Horse", the...

Last Resort

According to the Official ABC Description: 500 feet beneath the ocean’s surface, the U.S. ballistic missile submarine Colorado receive their orders. Over a radio channel, designed only to be used if their homeland has been wiped out, they’re told to fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan.

Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) demands confirmation of the orders only to be unceremoniously relieved of duty by the White House. Xo Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman) finds himself suddenly in charge of the submarine and facing the same difficult decision. When he also refuses to fire without confirmation of the orders, the Colorado is targeted, fired upon, and hit. The submarine and its crew find themselves crippled on the ocean floor, declared rogue enemies of their own country. Now, with nowhere left to turn, Chaplin and Kendal take the sub on the run and bring the men and women of the Colorado to an exotic island.

Based on the U.K. series of the same name, ABC's racy new show "Mistresses" starring Alyssa Milano is set for a May 2013 premiere. But after seeing the new preview, it's going to be hard to wait a year to watch what happens.

Milano plays successful career woman, Savi, who's trying to advance her professional life and start a family with her hot husband Harry (Brett Tucker). The show follows the lives of Savi; her single little sister, Josselyn (Jes Macallan); their widowed best friend, April (Rochelle Aytes); and friend Karen (Yunjin Kim), a therapist who hooked up with one of her patients.

Looks saucy and like perfect summer viewing -- but we really don't want to wait till next summer to see it. In the meantime, we've always got the BBC version on Netflix.
