Editor's Note
Expect numerous plot twists and shocking revelations in the complete third season of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, the Emmy Award-winning primetime soap. The show takes a vitriolic look at American suburbia and follows the lives of four dysfunctional housewives while also revealing tangled webs of intrigue and deceit. In season three, Gabrielle and Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira) get divorced and Bree marries Orson Hodge (Kyle MacLachlan), a sinister man who ran over Mike Delfino (James Denton), and might also have killed his wife. Lynette tries her hardest to accept her husband Tom's lovechild, as Susan (Teri Hatcher) starts to date Ian (Dougray Scott), whose wife is in a coma. The 23 episodes include the dramatic season finale "Getting Married Today."

 | Desperate Housewives - The Complete Third Season - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/3/2007 8:13 PM | | If there was one thing that surpassed the wedding count (three weddings in one season!) it was definitely the body count. Characters died left and right in the third season of the soapy dramedy. The fatalities included two characters being shot to death, one character falling off a roof and one suicide. Needless to say, despite the misleading look of Wisteria Lane, life isn't easy for upper-middle class suburbanites in this series. ...read the full review |

Desperate Housewives has everything going for it--a brilliant script, an incredible cast, and handsome production values. The real secret about the show is it's simply guilty fun!...Desperate Housewives did something simple that feels revolutionary these days. It gave good actors great scripts, and let the magic of storytelling take over...The show firmly plants itself in the middle class, an area previous night time soaps avoided. Dynasty tried it initially, but found people weren't interested in mundane middle class problems. What's changed? Cherry has darkened Middle America, and shown suburbia with a razor-edge twist. Ironically, it feels more real that way. I always fantasized that behind the closed doors of my neighborhood's white colonial houses, just past the perfectly manicured lawns, someone was losing it. Marc Cherry has exploited that fantasy, and apparently hundreds of millions of people were thinking the same thing. - Brett Cullum
