Susan Lyne went from greenlighting “Desperate Housewives” to selling them house paint and linens.

But the CEO of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia has no hard feelings about her former employer Disney, which she abruptly left in 2004, only to see the shows she picked, which also included “Lost,” become monster TV hits.

Asked at the Reuters Media Summit which media company she would hypothetically invest in (barring her own), Lyne hesitated before naming Disney.

“Of all the media companies out there, they have a brand that actually means something, they have phenomenal content, and a real understanding of the future of media,” she said. “There’s a lot of real talent at the company and on the board. I think having Steve Jobs on that board is hugely valuable to that company.”

But would she have said the same before Robert Iger replaced longtime Disney honcho Michael Eisner?

“No,” she said. She also said she’s recently returned to watching “Desperate Housewives,” though she’s “not religious” about it. Lyne also gave a thumbs-up to Aaron Sorkin’s meta-TV show “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” a behind-the-scenes look at a comedy sketch show which happens to feature a charming female network boss, played by Amanda Peet.

“I think that show is just brilliant, it’s uneven but it’s really fun to watch,” she said.
