ABC launches online contest around 'Desperate Housewives'

MUMBAI: The comedy Desperate Housewives has turned the fortunes of US broadcaster ABC round. Now the broadcaster has launched an online contest. The grand prize includes a trip for two to Los Angeles for the Desperate Housewives Season-One DVD launch party
 
 
All viewers have to do is visit www.abc.com and answer questions like which Desperate Housewife do you most resemble, and for men which housewife would you most likely date or marry. The Which Housewife Are You? Quiz & Sweepstakes is being conducted at www.abc.go.com/primetime/desperate/quiz/index.html. The sweepstakes provides users the chance to enter to win one of 10 weekly prizes and be further entered to win the earlier mentioned grand prize
 
 
The quiz consists of 15 multiple choice questions that relate to previously broadcast Desperate Housewives episodes. The results of the quiz will feature a photo and brief profile of the character that the user most resembles or is most likely to date or marry, along with the opportunity to invite friends to take the quiz and enter the sweepstakes. As quiz questions are offered randomly, players will be able to take the quiz multiple times without duplication of questions.

Weekly prizes will consist show themed merchandise. The promotion runs for two months.

 
 
Desperate Housewives airs on Sundays at 9 pm. For the uninitiated the show has a contemporary take on the happily-ever-after theme. The drama takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia, where the secret lives of housewives aren't always what they seem.
