I thought it was just one of the usual drama series that inadvertently attracts the attention of any melodramatic viewers, however I was totally wrong with my primary impression, it wasn't dramatic at all, comedy and puzzling twist where one of its successful magnetism that will always keep you hanging at the edge of your seats. The series is starred by four "Desperate Housewives" in its usual episodically scheduled time in Studio23, namely: Susan Mayer, Bree Van De Kamp, Lynette Scavo, Gabrielle Solis played by this wonderful stars: Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria respectively.

Even for a guy like me could embrace and yearn for this kind of drama series. It even made weep many times; I thought it was a lowly dramatized play that couldn't even catch the interest of ordinary viewers, but it was the best realistic series that anyone could actually love. Witty moments were one of its attracting element, Desperate Housewives never lacks on it, every episode were complete, mystery, intrigues, drama, jokes, crime and hilarity always coalesce every episode that appear. I would even scamper instantaneously to finish washing dishes and bathe myself around 9:30 at night to capture the beginning of each episode. For sure if anyone had followed the mystifying story of Mary Alice Young, going to every inhabitant of Mysterial Lanesuburban neighborhood, you would really appreciate the beauty of the plot of "Desperate Housewives", keep watching 57 of 75 people found this review helpful.

The show opens with the mysterious suicide of housewife Mary Alice Young ( Brenda Strong ) on a beautiful day in the suburbs, on a street called Wisteria Lane . Mary Alice, who narrates the show from the afterlife, had four close friends: Bree Van de Kamp ( Marcia Cross ), the seemingly perfect homemaker struggling to save her marriage; Lynette Scavo ( Felicity Huffman ), the mother of four who gave up her successful career to care for them full-time; Susan Mayer ( Teri Hatcher ), the divorced mother in search of love, who finds it in the form of her new neighbour, Mike Delfino ( James Denton ), who has a secret of his own; and Gabrielle Solis ( Eva Longoria ), the materialistic ex-model who cheats on her husband, Carlos ( Ricardo Antonio Chavira ).

While trying to be good wives and/or mothers, the four friends also try to find out why their friend committed suicide. The discovery of a blackmail note among Mary Alice's belongings, a therapy session tape in which she admits her real name was Angela, and her widowed husband Paul 's ( Mark Moses ) strange behaviour really make them wonder about the mystery surrounding their deceased friend.

And a now-pregnant Gabrielle decides to be faithful to her husband Carlos, who is in jail. While managing their busy lives, the women cannot help but notice something suspicious about the new neighbours: Betty ( Alfre Woodard ) and Matthew Applewhite ( Mehcad Brooks ), who moved in in the middle of the night, and are keeping something or someone in their basement...

Bree, who has finally put Rex's death behind her, marries Orson. At their engagement party, Orson's nosy former neighbor, Carolyn Bigsby ( Laurie Metcalf ), accuses him of having killed his wife Alma ( Valerie Mahaffey ), and Bree can't help but wonder if that's true. Lynette, meanwhile, has to adjust to having another child around the house when Tom's bastard daughter, Kayla ( Rachel Fox ), is taken in. Susan, who had been waiting for Mike to wake up from his coma, meets a British gentleman, Ian Hainsworth ( Dougray Scott ), and falls for him.

Meanwhile, Susan and Mike enjoy their married life and the former discovers she's pregnant, but portraying the role of the "suburban dad" takes its toll on Mike. Lynette deals with cancer, a boozy mother ( Polly Bergen ) and a rascal stepdaughter, whereas Bree tries to fake her pregnancy so she can cover up for her own daughter's ( Joy Lauren ). In addition to this, Katherine Mayfair ( Dana Delany ), who used to live on the lane, moves back, 12 years later, with a new family, new attitude, and new secrets...

Susan and Mike have separated, following a tragic car crash, and the former's been sleeping with her painter, Jackson Braddock ( Gale Harold ), whereas the latter tries to adapt to being a distant father and to getting back in the market.

Meanwhile, Lynette tries to keep her unwanted pregnancy a secret, and Bree starts up an affair with Karl Mayer, one that brings tragic repercussions to all involved.

In the meantime, the Delfinos move to an apartment outside of the suburbs, and struggle to make ends meet and to make it possible for them to move back onto the lane. Bree gets divorced from Orson, and starts up the process of rebuilding her life after losing her business and her husband, mainly by hooking up with a much younger contractor ( Brian Austin Green ).

When the women all cover up the murder of Gabrielle's evil stepfather, Alejandro ( Tony Plana ), their friendships become strained and endangered, especially after Bree receives a note much like the one Mary Alice got years before, and after she breaks up with Detective Vance ( Jonathan Cake ), who then sets out to take revenge and discover the girls' secret. Meanwhile, Carlos develops a drinking problem, and so does Bree, who falls off the wagon due to all the stress. Susan feels incredibly guilty and worries that she'll be the one ratting everyone else out, and Lynette has her head full as her marriage to Tom quickly dissipates and her children act out on it. Meanwhile, Renee becomes infatuated with the shady new neighbor, aussie Ben Faulkner ( Charles Mesure ). Production Origins Cherry initially had pitched the series to HBO , CBS , NBC , Fox , Showtime , and Lifetime . ABC was the only network to accept Cherry's offer, although they initially weren't satisfied with the name, suggesting titles like Wisteria Lane and The Secret Lives of Housewives instead.

Before Touchstone offered Desperate Housewives to ABC, in the original pilot , Mary Alice Young was played by Sheryl Lee ; John Rowland by Kyle Searles ; and Rex Van de Kamp by Michael Reilly Burke . Lee was replaced by Brenda Strong ; both had played regular roles as dead people before, Strong on Everwood and Lee on Twin Peaks. Strong also guest starred in two Twin Peaks episodes during their second season. Also, in the original pilot, when the camera is pulling away from the housewives after they found the note, there is a ghost of Mary Alice standing on her lawn looking at them. Inspirations One of the biggest inspirations for the show was the film American Beauty . The series has also been likened to other TV shows such as Knots Landing , Twin Peaks , and Sex and the City . In relation to its comparison with Sex and the City, Eva Longoria on Oprah's shows mentioned that she hopes Desperate Housewives can do for married women what Sex and the City did for single women.

Opening credits The show's opening credits contain references to famous pieces of art, including Adam and Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder , The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck , American Gothic by Grant Wood , and Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup can. Also alluded to are the lesser known Couple Arguing and Romantic Couple by Robert Dale (drawn in a comic book style similar to that of Roy Lichtenstein ) and a 1940s Am I Proud! poster by Dick Williams (showing a woman holding cans). The show's theme is composed by Danny Elfman . Broadcasting Since its US premiere, Desperate Housewives has been broadcasted by the ABC network, with reruns on Lifetime Television. In addition it has been sold to over fifty countries worldwide.

Cast and Characters Desperate Housewives features a large ensemble cast that is headed by four protagonists and a series' narrator: Teri Hatcher plays Susan Mayer , a klutzy romantic, always searching for the happy ending but never quite getting there; Felicity Huffman portrays the role of Lynette Scavo , a harried super-mom, always trying to balance her careers and family life; Marcia Cross gives life to Bree Van de Kamp , a neurotic and perfectionist home fairy, who becomes more loose as the series goes along; Eva Longoria embodies Gabrielle Solis , a former top-model turned trophy wife, who eventually becomes a more selfless person who gets used to life in suburbia; and Brenda Strong rounds out the core cast as omniscient narrator Mary Alice Young , who shares with us the juicy details of life on Wisteria Lane , from her elevated point of view.

The group of titular "housewives" has also included several supporting regular women who provided aid to the main ladies in telling the stories: Nicollette Sheridan played Edie Britt in seasons 1-5, the quintessential neighborhood vixen; Dana Delany played Katherine Mayfair in seasons 4-6, a Bree-like homemaker and scheming foible; Vanessa Williams plays Renee Perry in seasons 7-8, Lynette 's best friend from her college days and a New York City diva; Drea de Matteo played Angie Bolen in season 6, an Italian-American eco-terrorist with lots of "candure"; and Alfre Woodard played Betty Applewhite in season 2, an African-American concert pianist who literally was hiding something in her basement.

Then there are the kids, the most notable of which being: Andrea Bowen as Julie Mayer , Susan's precocious and smart daughter, and Mason Vale Cotton as MJ Delfino , her and Mike's cute son, as well as Cody Kasch as Zach Young , Mike's biological son, and Paul and Mary Alice's creepy adopted kid; Shawn Pyfrom and Joy Lauren as Andrew and Danielle Van de Kamp , Bree's self-centered, spoiled children; Madison De La Garza and Daniella Baltodano as Juanita and Celia Solis , Gabrielle's chubby, spit-fire daughters; and several supporting actors as the Scavo kids , Tom and Lynette's vast offspring. The neighbors include Kathryn Joosten as Karen McCluskey , the local elderly busybody, and Kevin Rahm and Tuc Watkins as Lee McDermott and Bob Hunter , a real estate agent and lawyer, as well as the resident gay couple. Filming locations Template:See also The set for the street, comprising facades of houses, is located on the Universal Studios backlot. It is referred to by film crews as Colonial Street, and before Desperate Housewives it was used in several motion pictures and televisions shows, starting in the 1950s.

For the first 14 episodes of season one, scenes set in Bree's living room were filmed inside the Young house on the street. To cover up the similarities between the rooms, most of the Youngs' scenes took place in a fictional area of the house, which only existed on a sound stage. From the outside, Bree's home has a set of windows either side of the front porch. However indoors, windows can only be seen on one side of the front door. This is because the inside of Bree's house is actually shot on a soundstage. On the street, Lynette's green house is simply a facade, and Bree's house functions solely as restrooms for the production crew. At the end of Wisteria Lane, by Edie's house, there is a cul-de-sac. However, cars are seen both entering and leaving the neighborhood from there. The former home of the Applewhites' was also used as the exterior of Herman and Lily Munster in The Munsters. Late in the first season the house underwent a facelift to become less recognisable as the home from The Munsters.

One of the main reasons for Susan burning down Edie's home was that it could be opened up inside, making filming easier for the production crew. Reception and critical reactions The show was the big success of the 2004-2005 television season, and gained much critical acclaim. Its pilot episode which aired in October 2004, gained a stunning 21.3 million viewers making it the best new drama for the year, the highest rated show of the week, and also the best performance by a pilot for ABC, since Spin City in 1996. In the footsteps of the show, the term "desperate housewives" became a cultural phenomenon. This warranted "real" desperate housewives features in magazines and TV shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Dr. Phil Show. The show, along with Lost, has been credited with reviving ABC's ratings. Later on, Grey's Anatomy, and more recently, Ugly Betty have helped further this revival. Prominent names like Oprah Winfrey and Michele Lee have stated that they are fans of the show. Ratings 10.60 2.74 The series saw its strongest ratings in its first 2 seasons.

It ranked #4 in both the 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 television seasons, with an overall average of over 22 million viwers. However, the sophomore slump of season 2 led to a decrease in ratings in season 3. Critics agreed on the improved quality of the third season, but the series lost 22% of its audience, slipping to #10 in the 2006-2007 television season with an average of about 17 million viewers. The series proved to have staying power in season 4, where it saw an increase in ratings from season 3, rising to #6 in the 2007-2008 television season with an average of 18 million viewers. The economic recession of 2008 led to many cable cancellations, leading to a decrease in viewers for all scripted television shows. Season 5 ranked #9 in the 2008-2009 television season with an average of over 15 million viwers. Sadly, this would mark the last time the series would remain in the top 10.

The ratings during the first half of season 6 resembled those of season 5, but as the season progressed its ratings dwindled, landing at #20 in the 2009-2010 television season with an average of 13 millon viewers. A similar pattern happened with season 7, with the first half of the season bringing in strong numbers, but the ratings declined in the second half of the season, with an average of 12 million viwers. Season 8 has seen its lowest ratings yet, with no episodes reaching the 10 million viewers mark. This will be the final season of the show, set to end in May 2012. Internet Ratings In its first public release of online individual TV program rankings, The Nielsen Company announced that the series had 723,000 unique viewers in December 2008. Desperate Housewives was the seventh most-pirated television show of 2009. Notable awards By the end of the first season, all the housewives except Eva Longoria were nominated for both a Golden Globe and Emmy.

The ' Desperate Housewives ' cast insist they do not work in a "hostile environment". Lead actresses Teri Hatcher , MARCIA CROSS , Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria Parker have spoken out amid allegations made by former co-star Nicollette Sheridan - who is suing creator Marc Cherry for $20 million after claiming he slapped her and she was axed from the drama series after complaining - insisting they have "no first-hand knowledge" of the September 2008 incident. The quartet released a statement saying: "It would be irresponsible of us to let the public believe that being a part of this show from its inception has been anything but a blessing.

"We have no first-hand knowledge of what Nicollette may or may not have experienced, but we would never characterise our set as a hostile environment. "It is, in fact, the opposite. The friendships and support that Marc Cherry, the cast, the crew and the producers have shared for the past six years have made this a wonderful job that we are grateful for every day." In her lawsuit - which was filed last week - Nicollette claimed during a conversation with Marc, he had blasted one of her co-stars saying: "I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car and dies." Teri - who plays Susan Delfino in the show - has now released a separate statement expressing her "concern" at being mentioned in the lawsuit. The statement read: "It is unfortunate and inappropriate that her attorneys have drawn the other 'Housewives' and Teri, specifically mentioned by name, into this action. The use of Teri's name in Ms.

Sheridan's claim was unauthorised." Teri added: "While my adoration and respect for the classic and dynamic chemistry of the characters of Susan and Edie is indelible, I'm honoured to stand with Eva, Felicity and Marcia as a group and clarify that our set environment is nothing less than an amazingly positive experience. I have never felt discriminated against. In fact, I have felt heard and respected by Marc and other executives in regards to both my professional and personal needs." Contactmusic
