Desperate Housewives
Desperate Housewives is an American television comedy-drama-mystery series created by Marc Cherry and produced by ABC Studios and Cherry Productions. It aired Sundays at 9 P.M. Eastern/8 P.M. Central, on ABC from October 3, 2004, until May 13, 2012. Executive producer Cherry served as showrunner. Other executive producers since the fourth season included Bob Daily, George W. Perkins, John Pardee, Joey Murphy, David Grossman, and Larry Shaw. The main setting of the show was Wisteria Lane, a street in the fictional American town of 'Fairview' in the fictional 'Eagle State'. The show followed the lives of a group of women as seen through the eyes of a dead neighbor who committed suicide in the very first episode. The storyline covers thirteen years of the women's lives over eight seasons, set between the years 2004–2008, and later 2013–2017. They worked through domestic struggles and family life, while facing the secrets, crimes and mysteries hidden behind the doors of their — at the surface — beautiful and seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood. The show featured an ensemble cast, headed by Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Marcia Cross as Bree Van de Kamp, and Eva Longoria as Gabrielle Solis. Brenda Strong narrated the show as the deceased Mary Alice Young, appearing sporadically in flashbacks or dream sequences.

This is the most boring and pointless show that I have ever watched. It is just a bunch of psycho people living in a house and they only entertainment you get out of it is when they fight each other. Quite demeaning towards women.

This is hands down my all-time favourite TV show. I think it's brilliant, and I must have watched all 8 seasons many times over, so much so that I can actually recite the lines back sometimes. This is a comedic drama that I think both men and women would enjoy. It follows the lives of a select few 'housewives' on Wysteria Lane who all have their own secrets and crazy lives going on around them that they want to protect. The women all have strong ties to each other which lands them in sticky situations time and time again. It is filled with drama from start to finish each episode and I think that most people can relate to the characters so easily. Whether you are more of a Bree type person, who has to keep everything in order, or more of a Susan who is ridiculously clumsy and loveable, everyone loves this show.

Yes I have not seen any of the Desperate Housewives series; I feel like I grew up hearing all about it. This show is still defenses constantly so I may pick it up sometime.

Not at all what I expected from the title. This show is super interesting and the story line for each character unfolds nicely. It’s a little bit of a thriller but also a slight comedy. Plus it’s on Netflix!
