Desperate Housewives : Season 2 [2006]

Review.......2007-02-15

This series is well good. It is better than The First Series but i feel it isn't as good as the Third Series (Which Is Currrently Showing On TV). It is still a very very thrilling, exciting and funny series with over thousands and thousands of laughs, thrills and scares. Throughout the series is very intense and you are left dying to see the next episode. I also think the special features and extras are brilliant too. This DVD is a must-have.

What happened to the extras?.......2007-02-04

I have to agree with an earlier reviewer: if the stated extras are there, they're hidden! All the extras are on one disk (which I think is a good idea), but advertised and apparently absent are:

* Bloopers
* Desperate Husbands
* Poker Game

If you have this set and know where you can find these extras, please let me know!

That said, there are other features not mentioned, including:

* Mark & His Mom [US spelling]
* Mark's favourite scenes
* Fashion & Couture (basically, wardrobe)
* Juicy Bites (each actress's favourite scenes)

But returning to the show itself, just as good as always, better than a soap, funnier than a sitcom. A tad far-fetched in places, but then if you've ever been to America ..!

Not just for housewives.......2007-01-12

The first season of desperate housewives kept up a good pace as it introduced us to its collection of uptight, spoilt, flustered and funny characters.
From murder to infidelity and dishonesty as the series unfolded it drew you in.
So too with season 2 as it progresses you are drawn to wanting to know what happens next.
The beauty of the show is it's such a simple idea, a gang of middle class curtain twitchers are all friends and discuss what happens to them and their neighbours. Where the scriptwriters get it so right is in the consistantly unexpected storylines and witty observations.
This programme never stales or feels lost for a plot, something interesting is always happening and the main characters, though flawed, are all likeable. It also makes a nice change to have the women as the centre of attention and not being portrayed as idiots. The actors all give good value for money and even during the daftest plots they still manage to convince.
Things dont let up in season 2 and as before the pace quickens towards the end leaving you wanting to see series 3.
Programmes as easily entertaining and amiable as this are rare.
The box set is well presented and disc 7 has a raft of extras.
The picture quality is good, especially for a T.V show and it's nice to see 5.1 surround offered and even though your surround set-up is unlikely to be tested by this it is clear and conversation is distinct from ambient noise.
All in all this is a good show well served by this box set.
If you haven't seen it before then you really should watch season 1 1st as you may get confused. If you have seen the 1st series and enjoyed it then this is not going to disappoint. Buy it and enjoy the further mishaps of the residents of wisteria lane.

The show's great but very hard to navigate the menus!!.......2006-12-31

I was a huge fan of season 1 but a hectic work schedule meant me missing more than half of the second season, I had to have this for Christmas!! For the past 4 days I've been catching up on my DH before the new season airs in less than a week..so much drama in so little time! The storylines were fantastic, the twists were shocking, and the acting was as superb as ever. I think Teri Hatcher steals this show, episode after episode.

My only moan is, the extras. The cover of disc 7 lists all of the extras that are meant to be on the DVD, however, I can find less than half of them. I know some DVDs include hidden features but these aren't listed as hidden, and it's more than half of what is said on the box. They need to make their menus simpler to follow.

Season 2 - Desperate Housewives.......2006-12-20

We have only just 'got into' desperate house wives...why did it take us so long.
The program is addictive you just want to keep on watching more and more. The twist at the end of the series just wasn't expected.
Totally recommended.
