Desperate Housewives: The Complete Fifth Season Reviews:
Great season 
2009-12-14 - While this season wasn't quite up to par with the last one, that by no means this season was bad at all. The fact that this is set 5 years after the last season certainly does spice things up. I never thought that Gabby would have kids, and I have to admit, I feel really bad for Bree. Orson was such the perfect guy at first, and now... dang it. I certainly never expected Susan and Mike and Katherine to be involved in a triangle, but hey, it's all fair in love and war. it all leads into what is (so far, at least as of Dec 2009) a wonderful Season 6. Keep up the good work, guys and gals!
Eye Candy With Something To Say
2009-12-10 - Season five was far superior to the current season six, so far. Centering on six gorgeous women, many of the episodes hit emotional highs by a mix of intelligent dialog and summation narration. One episode in particular - I think that it was #13 entitled "The Best Thing That Ever Could Have Happened" - was worth the price of admission alone. It was heart-wrenching throughout, centering on a handyman's life and his influence upon the lives of the six leading ladies. My wife and I had missed the whole season and bought this to catch up, and we were very glad we did. Especially after that episode.
Best Season Yet! 
2009-12-07 - I have been a fan of Desperate Housewives since Season 1, and although Season 2 was a huge disappointment, I still held on as a viewer. And it paid off. When I started watching Season 5, I was so impressed how the writers took a sagging show and spun it into a whole new light, as well as level. It is really interesting and refreshing to see the characters 5 years later on Wisteria Lane. Season 6 (playing now on TV) is just as good- I look forward to it every week!
just as good
2009-12-05 - this is another good series to go with the others ,if you have watched the other 4 series then this is a must .brian
Wild and intriguingly hits home................
2009-12-03 - I just started watching this show......... I find it entertaining and silly. Just the way some people act in life. Hollywood up a little bit, but I find it very realistic. I over hear women talk a lot and others tell me what them and there friends talk about.
I can't believe how weak some of the men are on this show. I've only seen season one and jumped to season 5, to see how the show progressed. I was shocked at the turn around of events. It seems that all these women are the same, just at different moments of there lives. They switched roles in there lives over time, like kid switch seats, playing musical guitars. I also enjoy the acting......... there all just wonderful actors and actresses.
Now that I have watched half of the first and a hand full of episodes in the 5th season, I can see that the show has stayed steady. I hate watching shows that fall off and change by the middle of the second season and become a shell of themselves. I plan on buying each season at a time and watching them with my girlfriend.
It's not the same as sex in the city, which I used to watch in the first couple of seasons, but it's very similar. One thing that I like more about this than Sex in the City is the fact that the all live in the same neighborhood.
