1) Product Description
Television's hottest show gets even juicier in its delicious second season. The women of Wisteria Lane are back, and just when you thought things couldn't get any steamier, a new neighbor and her handsome teenage son arrive to make new waves on the shady side of suburbia. Join the Emmy(R) Award-winning cast for all 24 episodes of Season Two, and discover Bree's new life without Rex, Lynette's chaotic return to the working world, and what becomes of Susans on-again, off-again relationship with Mike. That's just the beginning of the secrets in store in this six-disc DVD experience. Sizzling with sensational bonus features, including a revealing, never-before-seen storyline featuring Susan Mayer and a tell-all backstage dish session with the "Desperate Husbands," "there are almost too many things to love in Desperate Housewives" (San Francisco Chronicle).Format: DVD MOVIE2) Amazon.com
The ladies of Wisteria Lane returned for a second season of high anxiety, testy relationships, and a new mystery. Susan's (Teri Hatcher) angsty on-again off-again with Mike the plumber (James Denton) took an odd twist when her ex-husband (Richard Burgi) moved in with neighborhood seductress Edie (Nicollette Sheridan), then took an even odder one. Bree (Marcia Cross) resumed her widow's relationship with George the pharmacist (Roger Bart), then descended into personal addiction. Annette's (Felicity Huffman) return to the working world turned bizarre when her husband, Tom (Doug Savant), got tired of being a house-husband and returned to the workforce… at Annette's own firm. And Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) had to cope in her own unique way with Carlos (Ricardo Chavira) in prison. With the first season's mystery surrounding Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong, still around as the narrator) revealed--though repercussions were still flying--the show's intrigue came from a new character, Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard), and her son (Mehcad Brooks), who try, unsuccessfully, to fit into Wisteria Lane while harboring their own secret. While Woodard is a great actor, her storyline tended to drag down the action, the brilliant Cross was saddled with two dismal character developments, and the housewives spent far too little time together. There were laughs to be had, however. Huffman's interplay with Savant was a highlight, and Gabrielle's conflict with a perceived rival named Sister Mary Bernard (Melinda Page Hamilton) was the funniest of the season. No longer as fresh as it had been in its debut season, Desperate Housewives ended up taking a back seat to its Sunday-night running mate, Grey's Anatomy, and was shut out of the major Emmy awards, but its late-season resurgence was a positive sign going into the third season. With Lesley Anne Warren as Susan's mother, Sophie; Bob Newhart as Sophie's beau; Andrea Bowen as Susan's steadfast daughter, Julie; Jay Harrington as Susan's doctor; Mark Moses and Cody Kasch as Paul and Zach Young, who continue to be plagued by Felicia Tilman (Harriet Sansom Harris) about what happened with Mary Alice; Shawn Pyfrom as Bree's rebellious son; Carol Burnett as Bree's stepmother; and Kyle MacLachlan as an oddball dentist.On the DVDs Creator Marc Cherry dominates the DVD features. He has a conversation with his muse, his mother; he comments on 27 minutes of his favorite scenes; and he has optional commentary on both the deleted scenes (15 minutes) and on the two unaired story lines. The longer of the story lines (11 minutes) focuses on Susan and her novel, with some nice interplay with Bob Newhart. In the shorter one (4 minutes), Lynnette tries to sneak in a phone call aboard a plane. The five lead actresses do get a chance to talk about their "juiciest bits" (about two minutes of recapping the season's kisses, etc.), the making of an episode, costumes, and their characters compared to TV's past housewives (with contributions from actresses such as Happy Days' Marion Ross and The Partridge Family's Shirley Jones). --David Horiuchi

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) I still prefer Sex and the city [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I like this serie even if some time it is weird but I don't think I will have so much fun that with Sex and the city. Still good for rainy afternoon.2) MORE HOUSEWIFES!!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
MORE OF THE COMEDY THAT MAKES THIS SERIES SO GOOD. THIS IS A MUST SEE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED3) Oh, another fun-filled season. [Rating: 4 out of 5]
The show hasn't lost its charm at all. It is still so soapy and fun with so many sexy surprises. My favorite story-lines were all of Susan's, Edie dating Susan's ex Karl, Bree's alcoholism, and Gabrielle and her rivalry with a nun who became a friend of Carlos'. I will highly recommend this show to anyone who loves comedy, dramas/soap operas, and guilty pleasures.4) anonymous from new york, ny [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The series are very entertaining and when I had TV I was watching them regularly. Now my TV set is not working and it is a good possibility to watch all of the series I have missed. I would also reccomend the DVD for fans of the tv series who have a busy schedule.5) Current Prime Time Trash with a Kick [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Acting, direction, dialogue and situations are enough to satisfy any prime time soap opera addict or enthusist. Several story lines going on at the same time without causing confusion. Bed and heart hopping are constant in this romp through Wisteria Street. Backstabbing, lying, rumors, lawlessness, controlling, and sex all seasoned with evil and vindictiveness.
