Desperate Housewives of MySpace era?

I came accross Promqueen.tv via a link on Facebook (but it looks they're heavily promoted on MySpace). Looks like a MySpace-generation version of Desperate Housewives.

I can see how something like this can have a commercial value. You give a somewhat sticky (and cheap to be produced) show for a certain audience and you raise some money from advertising.
I don't know. I simply don't find this stuff interesting, so I simply got back to looking at what my friends were doing on Facebook. Maybe it's just me (and the fact that we don't have this kind of hype for the end-of-high-school party in europe may play a role) but it just doesn't feel... right. I think that if you're a MySpace kid this can't catch you, simply because you can't take much action on it as you can for most part of what's on the internet (even if characters actually have MySpace pages).
What do you think? What's the Desperate Houswives for MySpace era? I'm not talking about a single week hit like a fat kid singing numa numa yei, but something that will have people coming back asking for more, like ZeFrank has been for an older and geekier community (Ze, pls come back!)

BTW: have you aver stopped a couple of seconds just to see how cool is the Desperate Housewives visual? To me it's pretty impressive...
