Desperate Housewives premiered 20 years ago on ABC, but if creator Marc Cherry had his way, he would dive even further into the past – all the way back to 1966.

Cherry said in an interview with People magazine that he’s had “about 70,000 people” ask him about a reboot of the series. He continued, “the truth of the matter is that I have a couple of ideas to do it,” However, his vision doesn’t include the original cast or characters – except for one.

“I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade,” Cherry explains. “Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane.  It was such a fun place to write for. And there’s times when I go, ‘You know what? I wonder if I could write Wisteria Lane in like, 1966.'”

Desperate Housewives starred Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria as four women (often but not always married) who dealt with the ordinary perils of suburbia, and a few extraordinary situations, like murder, blackmail, affairs and other dark secrets. The show ran for 190 episodes from 2004 through 2012.

ABC and parent company Disney currently have no plans to reboot the show – at least none that they are spilling to the press, but that doesn’t stop Cherry from dreaming about what he could do with another trip to the suburbs.

“If you do a reboot, you have to have a really good artistic reason to do it. And at some point, I’ll sit down with someone and go, ‘Okay, let’s talk about if there’s a good enough why to do it.'”

Hulu is currently streaming the entire Desperate Housewives series.
