Did anyone notice the titles of Desperate Housewives recently:
No One Is Alone...
I Know Things Now...

Into the woods titles are the show episode titles!

Not that surprising, considering the fact that Marc Cherry is a big fat queeen. Interesting, though.

Well obviously I wasn't doubting you, I just can't believe I've never seen that. Hm...

I saw a mention in one of the earlier threads about the Desperate Housewives video tribute to Sondheim that was shown at the New York and LA tributes. I went to the LA tribute, and the video was absolutely hysterical with all of the Season One cast members naming their favorite Sondheim songs. I think it was Rex (who had just died on the show) who named "I'm Still Here." Even the little kids responded. I was wishing that video would make it onto the web so I can watch it again, but as far as I know, it never did. It really is a shame.

Too lazy to go through it now - but you missed a LOT of Sondheim references on that list...someone with more energy than I will surely fill them in...
