Desperate Housewives

Show generally

Audio problem: When Gaby's charity modelling event takes place and Susan, after being roughed up by John Rolland's mother after mistakenly accusing her of sleeping with her son, Tom starts talking but you can see him in the left corner of the scene without his mouth moving at all.

Come Back to Me - S1-E10

Audio problem: When Susan suspects someone might be in the house, the seduction music she has put on for Mike is drowned out by the score. When she accidentally hits Mike across the face, the score stops, but the music that was playing in the background has gone. The song in the background before now was music within the show, and it was loud enough to be heard around the house, so we should still be able to hear it.

Shay

Your Fault - S1-E13

Audio problem: At the school dance, the students are all dancing at a rapid pace when the music playing is a slow song, indicative that the music was dubbed in later.

Children Will Listen - S1-E18

Audio problem: When Lynette tells her sons to clean their teeth in the bathroom, the boys turn around and in the mirror you can see Lynette saying the same thing with no sound.

Fear No More - S1-E20

Audio problem: As Carlos is giving his speech at the barbecue, Julie sees Zach and says to Susan "Oh God". After cutting to a shot of Zach and his father it shows Julie and Susan again. If you look to the right of the shot you will see Carlos' face is just looking in front of him and not speaking, but you can still hear him giving his speech whilst he is in shot.

Lummie

TBA - S2-E17

Audio problem: Season 2, Episode 17: "Could I Leave You?" - Veronica's son's lip movements do not match when he tells her that he's thirsty.

THGhost

What More Do I Need? - S5-E7

Audio problem: When Lynette warns Anne to never lay a finger on her son Porter again, from behind Lynette's head she is still talking, but no words are coming out.

Chromolume No. 7 - S6-E17

Audio problem: When Gaby goes to introduce Angie to Heidi Klum at the fashion agency, Gaby goes up to Heidi and says "It's me, Gaby." When the camera angle changes to behind Gaby in the next shot, she is saying the same thing again, but no words are coming out.

My Two Young Men - S6-E18

Audio problem: During the dinner scene at the Scavo's home, Lynette tells Irina that her son Preston is "blinded by a piece of Eurotrash who would sell her own mother for a pair of designer jeans." When the camera changes to behind Lynette in the next shot, she can be saying the words "designer jeans" again, but this time with no sound.
