Great show(excluding season two), great season! This show is so well written, there were times i thought i knew the answer to their mystery and another curve ball would be thrown our way. The comedy comes from the fact that they "immate" soap opras, and do a great job with it. not to mention the funny things that happen to teri hatchers character. The first season is one of the best first season out of any show i have seen. Something i sure did look forward to every week, and ended up buying season one to watch it all over again. What i really like about this show was the great cast and how they work very well together. you maybe surprised by the acting. Sit back and enjoy the ride because you're in for a lot of turns and twists in this great season. i highly recommend it.

It was a great season of a great show. Totally worth buying if you like a well written show, with a lot of mystery; love; comedy, drama and action. The cast is amazing and work very well together. It was a pleasant suprise to see that the acting was very good. This show is not how it appears or comes off. The comedy springs from the fact that it is written similar to a soap opera at times. Lastly, a lot of curve balls are thrown try and solve the mystery, its one fun show.
July 5, 2008This Series on DVD is fantastic. First I'm a big fan of desperate housewives since it started and I enjoy it everytime I watch it. You would not regret buying this DVD. In each disc, there are special features to watch and they are enjoyable and also extended episodes that included some scenes that were never watched before. IT IS ALL GREAT.

Why is our culture glorifying adultery, violence and murder by giving this show so much acceptance? The first season episodes has a murder with a blender pitcher, an elderly man murdered by his wife and kept in a deep freeze, Teri Hatcher locked out of her house without any clothes on--yet justice has never punished anyone except Carlos, the poor Mexican American who's kind to his mom. And of course scenes from season one repeat every year in best moments from old shows episodes--I guess the writers ran out of perfect murders in the plot that week. To top it all off the "wives" are pictured as kind parents to their kids. It would've given Walt Disney a heart attack Sunday night if he were alive today.
May 7, 2008How can anyone compare it with "Sex and the City" is beyond me. "Sex and the City" is art and there is beauty in it (especially in the relationship of four friends). "Desperate Housewives" is a desperate attempt to bring something funny and engaging, but it is not, so please stop trying. The only reason I even decided to watch it was Jesse Metcalfe (not that he is a great actor or anything, but he is nice to look at), but even he couldn't make me sit through the second set of discs of Season 1. The acting is stiff so are the characters, the writing is poor and the whole thing is ridiculous.
