Re you comments on Tom, Orson, and even Mike: This was Desperate Housewives, and despite the important role those guys played in the show, it was all about the women. Renee needed to get married to somewhat close her story, but she wasn't a main character like the others. Ditto for Julie - we didn't really need closure on her. That said, I actually would like to have had some closure on Orson since he had such a long (and complex) story.

What is Nicolette's lawsuit? I must have missed that one.

I hated the NYC for Lynette, but they wanted to end with them all leaving Wysteria, and that was the way to get her out.

While I somewhat agree that these ladies would likely get together, maybe the point was that all four wouldn't get together at once again. Even that seems like a stretch, but at least a bit feasible compared to any of the 4 getting together.

I enjoyed the show, but even Karen's death didn't make me cry (and I am usually a sap). I am glad they didn't name the baby Karen (that would have been too sappy) although I suspect they might have actually done that (since they juxtaposed the birth and the death) and then even they decided that was too sappy (plus Karen was somewhat close with the other DHs, but not with Julie who would have picked the name).

Was Seinfeld so bad? I thought it was fitting for that show. I was not a watcher of The Sopranos or Lost, but understand that both of those ended very poorly. Tough to end a series nicely.
