5.0 out of 5 stars The End of the Beginning, May 17, 2010
This review is from: Desperate Housewives: The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
The five-year jump at the end of season five highlighted what was to be a rocky road for the inhabitants on Wisteria Lane. For the viewers, too. A lot happened at the end of season five and also when the show returned for its sixth run on September 27, 2009.

Dark, ominous creatures moved into town and took the shape of the Bolen family. By the end of episode one, NICE IS DIFFERENT THAN GOOD, a regular cast member is jumped from behind and strangled into a violent coma. Susan Mayer's daughter, Julie, is hospitalized and Susan is left to grieve (Hatcher's acting chops are versatile in this season) next to her newly recycled beau, Mike Delfino. Hatcher gives a flawless performance as an anguished mom.

The sixth season unfolds with scores of strange undercurrents. Lynette and Tom are expecting twins. As if their lives are not consumed with enough energy from the other rug rats in the family. Bree finds solace, albeit reluctantly, with a man named Karl Mayer--Susan's ex. And later in the season, Bree reveals a secret that may surprise some viewers. Gabrielle and Carlos have to deal with a rebellious teenager to whom many moms watching can attest. Jesse Metcalfe returns as John, but only to stir up dirt between Gabrielle and Carlos, who seem to be "settling down" in their own comfortable life. Only that illusion dissolves later when Gabriel puts her own life on the line to help try and save Angie Bolen.

A same-sex love affair/relationship blossoms between Katherine Mayfair and a newcomer to the show, Julie Benz. It fizzles, and by the end of the season the question whether or not Katherine and Robin will return hangs in the air. Nonetheless, Benz's depiction of Robin is lovely and down-to-earth--a nice addition to some of the unpleasant characters living on Wisteria Lane. Turmoil suddenly erupts during the Christmas holiday, leaving lives hanging in the boughs. Later in the season, a stranger drifts into town and marks his presence at the Bolen family house.

The ongoing Fairview "strangler" storyline is an interesting arc throughout the season. Who attacked Julie Mayer? Viewers are left to wonder until the end, horror-struck, who the culprit really is. And when that happens, more disaster between the characters explode into a nail-biting finale. Questions are left unanswered, and the women on Wisteria Lane are in another conundrum--a perfect but somewhat frustrating dilemma for rabid fans of the show. Now we must wait until the fall to revisit our favorite guilty pleasure and get answers to our many questions.

Desperate Housewives season six may tread water at times, however: viewers are hungry for interaction with the women of Wisteria Lane. The absence of Lynette, Susan, Bree, Katherine and Gabrielle sitting around the table playing poker and gossiping about the latest goings-on is solely missed in this season. The problem: Too many new characters and storylines seem to have drowned out the lives of the main players. For example, the relationship between Susan and her daughter, Julie, is limited during the sixth season. We miss the bond that they had developed in earlier years. Maybe when Julie is out of the hospital, she can go home to recover. Newcomers, Bob and Lee, were introduced to the show in season five to a standing ovation. By the fifth year, the show needed a revamp of new characters. However, their storylines in season sixth are pitiful and are in need of a tune up. For two good actors, they do not get an adequate amount of camera time. Fingers crossed, let's hope Marc Cherry and his family of writers introduce a juicy storyline for them in subsequent seasons.

As for the characters, some will stay, while others have already flown the coop, never to return, and new and old comers will arrive to Wisteria Lane in season seven. The drama continues ...

Whatever your opinion is of the sixth season, hate it or love it, there is no denying that Desperate Housewives delivers the best entertainment week after week, with a cast of brilliant actors and actresses. With this DVD box-set, you can watch it at your own pace, in your digs, at any time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glorified soap, April 18, 2010
By 
This review is from: Desperate Housewives: The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
Make no mistake: this show is basically a glorified soap opera, with much better acting and plots. However, it is pretty funny. The plots get so off the wall sometimes that it becomes hilarious. Each season has a separate story arch that usually involves a murder or somebody's deep, dark secret. Each episode also features a unique story and many plot twists. Things get pretty zany after several seasons. Over the past 5 years, it has included many (many) extramarital affairs, murders, holdups, hurricanes, gang lords, and dead bodies in the freezer.

This season has been pretty good so far. Angie and Danny as the new family on the block are good additions to the show. Angie in particular adds a lot of spunk. Unfortunately, it hasn't really developed the theme or subplot as strongly as some past seasons. It's only now that the backstory to Danny is becoming revealed. Also, the whole plane crash thing was kind of silly. However, a lot of the episodes were funny, especially the whole Russian gold-digger.

3.0 out of 5 stars Desperate Houswives Is Getting Desperate, August 25, 2010
This review is from: Desperate Housewives: The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
All things hit their peaks and then start sliding downwards. My personal guess is that they probably should have ended this show with Edie's death. What we seem to be doing in this season is just dealing with ongoing "more of the same" in the neighborhood. The characters have all had their days in the sun and are well past those days. There have been some new characters added but they haven't really added anything to the show. It seems as if they are trying to breathe some new life into this but they can't. Drea Matteo from the SOPRANOS is one of these. Hers is basically a one note performance of someone hiding out in the neighborhood from criminal mistakes in her past. Another is the stripper with the heart of gold (I wish I were making this up). I wish Mike and Susan had stayed divorced. The two of them now irritate me constantly. Terri Hatcher has become positively grating. The last best story arc this show had was Dave, the neighbor, married to Edie, who was trying to kill Mike and then Susan for killing his wife and child in an auto collision. When that arc of the story ended, last season, the air just went out of this whole thing. Tom and Lynette are now having yet another baby and it isn't doing a thing for me. That couple has completely lost their drift. I enjoyed Gabby more when she was plotting against her mother in law and having it off with the teenage boyfriend, not to mention trying to jump start her haute couture career again. Bree and Orson are now beyond soap opera cliche with him in a wheelchair. I think this show needed to keep a few "evil" characters, like Edie and Gabby, the way she used to be, and Dave. Now everyone is kind of a nice person with the usual suburban problems and it is boring. Every series runs out of gas eventually and I believe this is one of them. I must add to this that I don't think all of these series shows taking long hiatuses this winter, for virtually all of December and February, did them any favors. What little momentum they had was lost in two months of absences.
