Desperate Housewives: The Complete Fifth Season Reviews:
My friend loved it! 
2009-11-19 - I ordered this product for a friend for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. It came in a timely manner, and was exactly as it was described. It was a great birthday present.

2009-10-28 - It was a bit more teary than I prefer (hence lacking one star) but still very enjoyable. A good series! Hopefully it won't follow the usual hollywood tract and forget that it's a comedy, becoming too serious and lecturing.
Desperate Housewives 
2009-10-27 - I found that this season was not as enticing as the first four seasons, but with the slow build up in the begginning by the end of the season it turned out to be pretty decent. If you have the other seasons, then I would reccommend buying this one as well because it shows the growth of the characters and the difference with age with the ladies on Wysteria Lane. Wonder what they are going to do for the eye catcher in season 6?

The Best-Kept Secret on Wisteria Lane
2009-10-22 - The best-kept secret on Wisteria Lane is that Season 5 is the best of the entire "Desperate Housewives" series. Like everyone else, I couldn't get enough of those early seasons. Even the pretty crummy Season 2 was on my must-watch list. By the time Season 5 rolled around, and in spite of the fact that I owned the box sets of Seasons 1-4, I'd lost interest in the show. I didn't catch a single episode of Season 5 as it was broadcast, and didn't intend on buying the Season 5 box set, especially given the steep price. And then one night, I happened to catch a rerun of an old "Housewives," and--I guess I was feeling nostalgic--I bought the Season 5 box on a whim, using 1-Click ordering. I bet if I hadn't used 1-click, I would have never gone through with the purchase. And I would have missed out on what was for me the most enjoyable of any of the "Desperate Housewives" seasons. The central characters have never been sharper. Or funnier. Or more touching. The guest appearances by Lily Tomlin and Beau Bridges are absolutely fantastic. And the stories surprised me at every turn, just the way I expect this series to do. I'm sure some will disagree with me here, but I have to say, I loved every minute of all seven disks in this box. This show may be past its heyday in the eyes of the general public, but for those in the know, Season 5 is a secret worth passing on. Don't say I didn't tell you.
