Pilot (Devious Maids) edit

(

... that the pilot for Devious Maids was aired on Lifetime after ABC declined to pick it up?

Comment: ~~(ALT1) ... that the pilot of Devious Maids revolved around a murder resembling the pilot of Desperate Housewives, from which it was spun off?~~

Article is new enough, long enough, within policy, and is not BLP. Hooks are interesting enough and cited in article. But ALT1 may be slightly misleading--the Desperate Housewives pilot death seems to have been a suicide rather than a murder (but correct me if I'm wrong--I don't watch either show). I'd suggest going with the first hook for that reason. Nominator needs to do QPQ review. -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:49, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Both hooks appear to me GTG, though I prefer the lead hook; "spinoff" is a slight inference that we might as well avoid. --- Khazar2 (talk) 11:54, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
