Well, funny you should mention that - I actually watched Brass today (the first series anyway), which is very much like that. It's not really comparable at all to Desperate Housewives on the surface, but the self-knowing and self-parodying way it runs underneath, works on a very similar level - albeit much more serious and deadpan!
Going back to Desperate Housewives for a moment, the comedy is very well entwined within the show. Hiding just beneath the surface, on a very dark and almost subconscious level. Unmissable stuff for me!
