Editorial Review:
The women of Wisteria Lane are back, and it’s time to air some dirty laundry. In the Emmy Award®-winning show’s sensational third season, the gossip is juicier, the secrets are more scandalous and the revenge is even sweeter. "Desperate Housewives is back," raves The New York Daily News. Experience all 23 tantalizing episodes of Season Three, and get the dish on Susan’s new love, Bree’s unsettling marriage to Orson (Kyle MacLachlan) and a dangerous new presence living down the lane. Everything will come out in the wash in this spectacular six-disc set. Bubbling over with exclusive bonus features, including a behind-the-scenes look at the season finale and even more secrets straight from the show, this is the sudsiest season yet.
Description of Desperate Housewives - The Complete Third Season:
After the second-season Desperate Housewives took the misguided direction of splitting apart its five principals, the third season was a comeback for the ladies of Wisteria Lane with some sparkling moments and a more engaging mystery. Following the previous season's cliffhanger, Mike (James Denton) was not written out of the cast after all, but left in a coma. Susan (Teri Hatcher) keeps a vigil at his bedside and meets Ian (Dougray Scott), a handsome and rich British man keeping a similar vigil for his wife. Newly single Gabriella (Eva Longoria) meets an unexpected admirer, while Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) finds unexpected family--and an unexpected beau. The season's primary mystery revolves around Bree's (Marcia Cross) new husband, Orson (Kyle McLachlan), who turns out to have some skeletons in his closet--including one he shares with Mike--and some women in his past that he wishes had stayed there (Valerie Mahaffey and Dixie Carter). We no longer see Lynette (Felicity Huffman) in her office; rather, the emphasis is on Tom's (Doug Savant) new "dream job" of opening a pizza parlor and the financial and personal conflicts that arise from it. The mystery is resolved unusually early, leaving the rest of the season to weddings and a shock ending. Even if a few scenarios were a little too obvious going for the emotional hot buttons (a hostage situation at a supermarket, a forest encounter), the writing and the cast were so good that we didn't mind being taken along for the ride and still found the moments moving. Huffman was the season's standout and accordingly scored the cast's only Emmy nomination, but everyone was in top form (including Cross, who was sorely missed when her real-life pregnancy knocked her out of a number of late-season episodes). Bonus features include featurettes on Eva Longoria and the season's weddings; clips from Amas de Casa Desesperadas, the Spanish-language version of the show with a different cast; a season recap; Marc Cherry's favorite scenes; eight deleted scenes with commentary by Cherry; and a blooper reel. --David Horiuchi
Desperate Housewives - The Complete Third Season Reviews:
Great! 
2009-11-07 - Funny, intrigue-filled, you just keep wanting more and once you start u have to see the end!
Like this show a lot 
2009-10-26 - Season 3 of the most famous "Desperate Housewives" in the world is not my favourite. But, it is still good. Go ahead Marc!
her-high-ness
2009-10-22 - I love this show. My only issue was a little bit of skipping that occurred on the third disc. I guess that is the risk that one would take when purchasing from a third party seller. This is probably the best season yet. I didn't particularly care for the fact that Bree was present for a mere handful of episodes but I was thrilled that Mike and Susan finally "did their thing". I would reccomend this to any Desperate Housewives junkie.
Desperate Housewives: The Complete Third Season
2009-07-13 - Wow, what an awesome DVD set!!! This set tells all that happens on Wisteria Lane and the characters are great in playing their parts. Great dvd set and I would recommend it to anyone who is a DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES fan.
Still A Very Good Show!
2009-07-02 - The idea of having non-working neighbors and women who are strictly dependent on men (most of them) is pretty gone for good, but desperate housewives keeps the fantasy going to an entertaining affect. The women here marry and sometimes divorce with abandon but somehow stay on the same street. Each woman has their own little story to tell in this season and none are boring. They are pretty fun to watch and entertaining too.
