'Desperate Housewives' not suited to Emmys

Desperate Housewives is not suited to win an Emmy comedy award, according to one of its stars.
The hit series failed to pick up an nomination in the Best Comedy category, and James Denton (who plays Mike Delfino) thinks the show is not suited to a particular genre.
He said: "I don't think the show is a pure comedy or pure drama and last year, particularly, it was very dark. So, when you're nominating yourself or presenting yourself as a comedy, there's certainly funnier shows on television, as a pure comedy."
