Desperate Housewives: Season 1
A prime time soap with a truly contemporary take on "happily every after," Desperate Housewives takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia, where the secret lives of housewives aren't always what they seem. Looking down on her friends and family isn't a way of life for Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong)... it's a way of death. One day, in her perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs, Mary Alice ended it all. Now she's taking us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbors, commenting from her elevated P.O.V.

It's easy to see why the first season of Desperate Housewives drew so much buzz. It's just entertaining, pulpy and satirical stuff. It's never quite as good as this again, so enjoy the twists and turns and subtle commentary. A consummate guilty pleasure.Desperate Housewives Season One - CrazyCatLady
Meet the ladies of Wisteria Lane: pampered former model, Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria); stressed out workaholic mom-of-four, Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman); obsessive-compulsive "domestic goddess," Bree Van DeKamp (Marcia Cross); and, clutsy children's book illustrator, Susan Meyer (Terri Hatcher).
With the tag line, "Everyone has some dirty laundry", it's part soap opera, part comedy. You will find yourself hooked as you get drawn into these ladies' lives and loves.Desperate Housewives - Jer-
I have never seen the show on television but everyone has told me it was really great. After watching the first four episodes I agree. This show is actually really well written. It's funny and mysterious in all the right places. This is a genuinely funny show and it mixed it really well with a mystery that I'm sure will be dragged out the rest of the season. You should definately watch it if you get the chance
