 Improvement over season 5 but not as good as it was.... August 29, 2010
J. Balsness
Desperate Housewives has been one of my favorite shows to ever hit television since it debuted in 2005. Season 5 was probably the weakest in my opinion although it did feature some extraordinary episodes luckily Season 6 is an improvement. There is good and bad in this season. The new family is pretty interesting however I feel a lot of the storylines were recycled much like season 5 and the show ultimately suffers without Nicolette Sheridans character Edie. The actresses are likely the best of tv especially Marcia Cross, Felicity Hoffman, and Eva Longoria they all truly shine but without the fire and ice of Nicolette Sheridan there is no confrontation and crack up moments between the ladies and its a shame since Sheridans character brought a much needed and appreciated brutal honesty to the series. Still a good season not great though but better than season 5 and hopefully season 7 will bring us back to the housewives we love and get them back on top so we don't have to bury this series too soon.
Desperate Houswives Is Getting Desperate August 26, 2010

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.
 Once great show is no longer good August 15, 2010

I stopped watching it this season. Horrible retreaded plots, characters that are not likable anymore and great actors like Dana Delaney given nothing good to do at all. How far this show has fallen.
 Excellent August 15, 2010

An excellent comeback from what Season 5 was. Susan and Mike are finally back together (let's hope it stays that way), Angie Bolen and her family are a much needed relief after Dave Williams and his mystery. They added something unique to the show, but I'm glad they only stayed a season. Even though the show isnt the same without Edie, it is beginning to be what it was in its early days again, and Season 7 will certainly see a continuation in this trend.
The best season. August 9, 2010

Desperate Housewives: The Complete Sixth Season is definitely a solid and enjoyable season. The thing about Desperate Housewives, the first half of the season is always stronger than the last half. I am not really sure why that is but I still think this campy show is loads of fun! I loved the unexpected chemistry between Bree and Carl, too bad things didn't end well for one them! I also liked the storyline with that sensitive but deeply troubled, Eddie. The way Lynnette took him under his wing was quite moving even though she couldn't save him from hurting others in the process. But the one storyline that I thought was quite strange was the emotional collapse of Katherine, parts were good and others were a head-scratcher. Overall, season 6 turned out to be better than I could've hoped for. Can't wait for Season 7!
