5.0 out of 5 stars DESPERATELY FANTASTIC September 25, 2012

By MovieManTN

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

One of my favorite TV shows ever, in a wonderful boxed set!

When I saw that "Desperate Housewives" was coming in a boxed set format, I immediately sold my 7 individual sets on Eb@y and pre-ordered this set. I am SO glad I did.

The box is not wood, as many people on message boards have been asking. However, it is a very sturdy, thick, pressed cardboard (one of the sturdiest box sets I've seen) covered with a beautiful glossy finish. Inside you will find the individual season sets in the dreaded thin slip cases. I know many people complain about these, but really, I have never had any discs that came in this type of holder to be permanently damaged. I have had some surface scuffs in the past, but nothing that ever affected the playback. The individual seasons are the same as the previous releases, with all the same features, just in these slip cases. The artwork on these slip cases are not of the previous releases...these match each other...but the artwork on the discs all appear to be from the previous releases. I would also like to note that I have had no issues as far as glue being on the discs, discs being dislodged, or any of the issues that I have noticed in other reviews. Perhaps I lucked up with a good, clean set...?

The bonus disc comes in a cute little apple shaped sleeve, and has the following features:
The End of the Lane: Last Days on Set
Curtain Call: The Desperate Housewives Family
Cherry Cam(eo)
Desperately Dead
More From the Series (which consists of some new bonus features from Seasons 3 & 5)

Finally, there is a note from Marc Cherry, printed on a thick paper stock (about 5x7 inches) that looks much like a wedding invitation, with embossed designs, where he is basically telling the origins of the show idea and thanks the fans.

I love this set, and I am planning to revisit the women, men and all the rest of the residents of Wisteria Lane from beginning to end. And I'm sure I will revisit them again & again in the years to come.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not pleased September 25, 2012

By Joseph Delbuono

Format:DVD

Is anyone else having a horrible experience with the packaging. The bottom disc on every sleeve of my set has come dislodged and the cardboard sleeve detached resulting in every other disc smashed up against the glue that was supposed to hold the sleeve together. Every other disc in the entire set has sticky glue on the back of the disc. I guess I can clean them? Never had to clean glue off of a DVD before...certainly not a brand new $100 set. I actually had to peel some discs off of the sleeve. Displeased.

Great show- awful packaging...and isn't the packaging the whole point of a Complete Collection???

3.0 out of 5 stars Desperate February 26, 2013

By adam

Format:DVD

Box set was beautiful, but the sleeves left gummy residue on the disks , eucalyptus oil and a wash with detergent, and a new disk sleeve for each disk, and they look fine, I just hope all disks work...
