SEASON OVERVIEW:
Desperate Housewives is an Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning American television comedy-drama series, created by Marc Cherry, that began airing on October 3, 2004 on ABC.
It is the most popular show in its demographic worldwide, with an audience of approximately 119 million viewers.
Perusing the perfect neighborhood, the ideal homes wherein dyed-in-the-wool families live, you might be tempted to think that there’s really nothing interesting to look at. But Wisteria Lane is anything but a ho-hum neighborhood. Believe it or not, catfights, enticement and even murder are all part of the average day. Wherefore, there’s a lot to look at. Through the eyes of Mary Alice Young, “Desperate Housewives” allows you to peek at a group of women, as they work through domestic struggles, family life and intrigues, while facing the crimes, mysteries and secrets hidden behind the doors of their beautiful and seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood.
The life behind closed doors is about to be revealed with the unexpected suicide of Mary Alice Young which shakes the entire community… And so, through her eyes, we can partake of everything that happens from now on in her friends and neighbors’ lives. Among her friends rank Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross), Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria Parker), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) and Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher). Although her family is slowly falling apart, Bree manages to keep her image intact. She is the perfect housewife, very elegant and house-proud, known also for making gourmet meals and breakfast treats, including her pineapple bran muffins. A former successful model, Gabrielle seems to have everything a woman could want except true love. Apparently a sarcastic, self-absorbed, shallow, spoiled and vain person, she is caring, thoughtful, loves her friends and is always there for them. Lynette survives cancer, gives up to a successful career and devotes herself to her children. A single mother, Susan is a clumsy woman who gets herself into all sorts of trouble. Very inquisitive by nature, she is the driving force behind the housewives’ desires to elucidate mysteries. Portrayed by Nicollette Sheridan, Edie Britt is a serial divorcée whose lovey dovey escapades are disfavored by her neighbors… but after all, every neighborhood needs a troublemaker.
A very spicy combination between comedy, drama and thriller, “Desperate Housewives” manages to dismantle the eternal myth of the perfect American family… With women like these around, it’s got to be tough being a man, but there are a few who can keep their head above. Enjoy the show!
