We can?t say for sure, but we?d guess there is more love making happening in American on Sunday nights thanks to ?Grey?s Anatomy.?

However, ABC has now announced that the passion is moving to Thursday nights at 9 p.m. where ?CSI? has dwelled and dominated.

Now, the players are weighing in, including some of the ?Desperate? stars.

?I think it sucks,? Teri Hatcher told Access Hollywood?s Billy Bush.

But fellow ?Housewife? Eva Longoria disagrees.

?I think it?s genius,? Eva said.

Only time will tell. But now that ?Grey?s? is moving from a slot following ?Desperate Housewives? to ?CSI? time on Thursdays, how does ?Anatomy? star Patrick Dempsey feel?

?I think we have a strong fan base and I think if we keep doing good material and good performances and the stories are original, hopefully we?ll hang in there,? Dr. McDreamy told us. ?But it?s a lot to live up to.?

Meanwhile, Calista Flockhart returns to TV in ?Brothers and Sisters,? four years removed from ?Ally McBeal.?

?You passed on ?Desperate Housewives? for the role of Susan because your son was about to go to school and that was the priority or you didn?t like the script as much as this one?? Billy asked.

?I don?t remember passing on it,? Calista admitted.

?You did,? Billy reminded her.

?I?m sure that if wasn?t what I was focused on at that time in my life,? Calista explained. ?I think I was really busy being a full-time mom and that?s what I wanted to do.?

But back to ?Grey?s? for a minute.

?Tell me about shooting that heated scene with Patrick [Dempsey]. The two of you in that room. A little hair-pulling going on. How do you not burst our laughing? You know Patrick. You know his wife,? Billy asked.

?Well I do burst out laughing and he did too,? Ellen Pompeo (aka Dr. Grey) said. ?I know people don?t want to hear it, but Patrick is like my brother. It?s like let?s just get it over with.?
