Genre: TELEVISION
After the second-season Desperate Housewives took the misguided direction of splitting apart its five principals, the third season was a comeback for the ladies of Wisteria Lane with some sparkling moments and a more engaging mystery. Following the previous season's cliffhanger, Mike (James Denton) was not written out of the cast after all, but left in a coma. Susan (Teri Hatcher) keeps a vigil at his bedside and meets Ian (Dougray Scott), a handsome and rich British man keeping a similar vigil for his wife. Newly single Gabriella (Eva Longoria) meets an unexpected admirer, while Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) finds unexpected family--and an unexpected beau. The season's primary mystery revolves around Bree's (Marcia Cross) new husband, Orson (Kyle McLachlan), who turns out to have some skeletons in his closet--including one he shares with Mike--and some women in his past that he wishes had stayed there (Valerie Mahaffey and Dixie Carter). We no longer see Lynette (Felicity Huffman) in her office; rather, the emphasis is on Tom's (Doug Savant) new "dream job" of opening a pizza parlor and the financial and personal conflicts that arise from it. The mystery is resolved unusually early, leaving the rest of the season to weddings and a shock ending. Even if a few scenarios were a little too obvious going for the emotional hot buttons (a hostage situation at a supermarket, a forest encounter), the writing and the cast were so good that we didn't mind being taken along for the ride and still found the moments moving. Huffman was the season's standout and accordingly scored the cast's only Emmy nomination, but everyone was in top form (including Cross, who was sorely missed when her real-life pregnancy knocked her out of a number of late-season episodes). Bonus features include featurettes on Eva Longoria and the season's weddings; clips from Amas de Casa Desesperadas, the Spanish-language version of the show with a different cast; a season recap; Marc Cherry's favorite scenes; eight deleted scenes with commentary by Cherry; and a blooper reel. --David Horiuchi

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Overall Lots of Soapy Fun...But a Few Poor Storylines
Spoiler warning. Leave now if you haven't bought/rented/downloaded this season yet.
There's something about soaps and continuing drama that is just completely fun. And when a show comes along that not only includes some dishy drama but also laces its episodes with uproarious, laugh out loud comedy, then you have something special.
Desperate Housewives is a success story due to its setting, characters, actors, writing, and comedy. It is not excellent television, but at times it ... Read More
Rating:  - Just as good as Season 1 and 2!
What else can I say. If you liked the first two seasons, don't miss this one! It will make you laugh, cry, and wonder...
Rating: - Good season
This season of the Desperate Housewives was a lot of fun - much, much better than the second season.
Rating: - Desperate Measures for Desperate Times!
Its time to get Desparate! I think Amazon wants you to review everything you buy! I bought this for a friend for Christmas! Love the show!
Rating:  - Desperate Housewives Jump The Shark
I am pinching myself: there is not a single 1 or 2 star review for this series out of 88. How can that be? What have I missed? I really couldn't stand this show (why did I watch it through, you ask? The furtherance of my own marital relations required it).
Seasons 1 and 2 had a real originality and freshness: an unusual combination of romantic farce and dark thriller which made them compulsive viewing. But the formula seems to have been changed for Season 3. In the intervening period ... Read More
