That fact that I, a 25 year old Middle Eastern man, started watching this show at the age of 15 to improve my English, and HAVE BEEN watching it ever since over and over again, tells you just how amazing this show was and still is !
Same here! Also 25 and I watched the show completely for the first time 10 years ago. And til this day, desperate housewives is the best show to ever exist
I know a lot of heterosexual guys who watched Desperate Housewives and really enjoyed it. And this is not a surprise: It is not about female everyday problems. It is more about family and neighborhood. It deals not with female problems, it deals with family related problems we all can understand. Being addicted to alcohol, drugs, losing your job, having trouble to find a new one, having cancer, having financial troubles ... that is universal.
Nope, it sure couldn’t. As great as the cast is, it’s the writing and brilliance of the inner complexities that I think are most outstanding, and definitely something you don’t see every day. Unfortunately, you may have another niles/Frazier crane, or Bree van de kamp, but it seems like this style of witty, sophisticated writing is no longer appreciated or found 😢
This was probably the first show I started watching... I was like 8, in the first years of elementary school. Now I am 27 years old and living/working in a completely different country but when I come for holiday to visit my family I watch re-runs with my parents because they still show it on TV monday to friday... so much nostalgia. And you are right, there will never be another show like this. This show has been my comfort zone for many many years during my childhood.
Mark Cherry shows in general have this kind of heart and stank to them. If you love this you should check out why women kill for sure. That show just got cancelled last year and it was so very similar in the best ways but new and different.
This show was absolutely amazing. Nothing compares. No episode was boring, every single episode would keep you on your toes. Acting was incredible, story lines were brilliant. Whole series was just phenomenal. One of the best series of all time
Yeah a bit exaggerated comment I guess, I watched the whole seasons in just 4 days , so it means I skip a lot of scenes , due to some very boring scenes , the actress that played Susan has many bad acting scenes and some bad directing amd especially writting , theres too many plotholes like the crazy sister suddenly cares about her sister's murder? and as it continues season after season I notice side characters scenes are becoming too short which means theyre in low budget and theyre tightening the belt. Season 1 is really good, but other season had just became so bad so abruptly , kinda like the Show Glee and Suits it was so popular then it just became old news because its not good anymore.
Still amazing how they got all those actors to show up for one brief moment to make this work. Plus, that final bit the reminder as long as Wisteria Lane exists, there will always be people with secrets.
@@timchen1 Closest we got was some out-of-focus woman in the distance with long, blonde hair. I figure that was supposed to be Edie, but of course, nothing like the real thing. She was such a huge part of the show.
just unfortunate that Nicolette Sheridan aka Edie Britt wasnt there. She had a falling out with Marc Cherry the creator of the show. There were even lawsuits involved. They didnt even invite her back to appear considering that Edie was one of the main housewives in the later seasons before her character died.
Due to the fact that Julie and one of Lynnette’s sons have a child together, it’s safe to say that out of the gang, Susan & Lynnette are the ones who stay in touch due to sharing a grandchild
I hate that the show ended at season 8 there was so much story left: Ben and Renee starting a family, gabys career coulda been shown, Susan and all them coulda stayed on the street and raised the baby there, and Bree’s life with trip I just feel the show was at its peak
@@Muath-cf4se Susan and Lynette were now related, no way they’d lose touch out of the four women, they share a grandchild, so it’s not unbelievable to see them spending holidays together, Gaby and Bree had no ties to the one another or the others so they probably did drift away
“…This street is a lot of things. Boring IS NOT one of them.” - Now THAT was EPIC. And indeed, it did not matter in the least that Susan, Lynette, Gabrielle, and Bree ultimately left Wisteria Lane one after the other, for secrets, revelations, drama, and even chaos will always be a part of Wisteria Lane.
SAME!! I think it’s been about 8 years for me but I haven’t seen a scene since finishing the show and I got all teary eyed. Goes to show what a great show this was
Just randomly saw this on my recommandations at 1am and couldn't not watch it. This ending is for me one of the greatest in TV history ! The voice-over is amazing, the stories, the actors coming back... I mean it was fantastic. I'm 26 and I watched it for the first time at 13 yo, still one of the best show ever created ! This scene just made me cry like it was the first time (and it's been a few - even made my mom watch it with me)
Edie was a important part for Susan's character during the series, their interactions were so funny and they had their nice moments too even if writers never developed their relationship enough to fully overcome their diferences always falling into a cycle of getting along to then hating each other again and again. But still, Edie was one of the most relevant characters refering to Susan so not seeing her there, watching Susan leave with the other ghosts breaks my heart every time.
The Ghosts of Wisteria Lane (if anyone knows any other names I missed, please let me know) 3:04 Mike Delfino 3:08 Karen McClusky and her son (Karen mentions she had a son who died when he was very young) 3:13-3:14 Unknown?? 3:15 George Williams, Juanita Solis (Carlos' mother) and Mona Clarke 3:23 Karl Mayer, Ellie Leonard, and Nora Huntington (Kayla's mom)--on the far upper left under the trellis there's two ghosts I'm not sure about. I think one of them might be Matthew Applewhite 3:25 all unknowns 3:29 Rex Van de Kamp, Lillian Simms (the old lady), Beth Young, and Chuck Vance 3:37 Martha Huber, Alma Hodge, and Bradley Scott 3:42 Mary Alice Young Missing people are Alberta Fromme, Ida Greenburg, Carolyn Bigsby, and Edie Britt (Edie is missing due to the actress having conflicts with the producers)
I love how they filmed it from diffrent angels. Lynette back side, Gaby and Carlos looking to each other and sideways. Bree sideways always going left and Susane drives right and its more foreward
Just finished the series about 15 minutes ago and I gotta say...this was the best series finale of any show ever. After all the girls have been through, it's so nice to see they all have wonderful lives. I do feel it's not fair for Susan but atleast she has her children/grandchildren to help keep her at ease❤️ Would really love a reboot of all the girls as grandmas and they all take a trip back to Wisteria Lane.
@@vukkoprivica7046 Nothing like that was said. They said they never played poker again, so likely not meeting in 4. But they be definitely seen each other again/ talked. Especially Susan and Lynette who share a grandson.
So much neutrality on the ghost's face and yet so much life through their eyes, i don't know if it's good acting or some clever trick but they look so out and above this world, heartwarming !
As much as I wished they has stayed friends forever, it's more realistic that they did end up living their own lives and moving on. It's what happens to all of us.
As much as I really enjoyed and appreciated the segment with all the "ghosts of Wisteria Lane", there was a little part of me that thought oh this is too shmaltzy - it's nice but it can't end like this. Then it cut back to the new owner of Susan's house unboxing whatever her terrible secret is.... PERFECT end. Absolutely perfect.
It has been 10 years since final episode was aired.. it really hurts the fact that they promised to play poker again but they didn't make it eventually.. everyone moved on with their life and the memories remain. I'm actually relate with that situation..
No, the era of epic TV-Shows has been over for years. But the good part is you barely get to sit in front of the TV and waste your time nowdays. It's at least what I experience.
I like that for once, it wasn't all, "They remained BFF and never lost touch". It provided this finale with a certain bitterness, but it was perhaps more realistic that way.
Karen and her kid standing there was my last straw 😭 this was the most perfect finale ever. So accurate to each character and full of emotions. The four girls were so good even with their flaws and the four actresses could not be more perfect for portray their characters
After all those years I love to think, that little Lynette Sophie Scavo is raised properly by Porter and Julie. Susan found another love of her life, like Karl and then Mike. Bree has done beautiful things in Kentucky State Legislature for poor ones and those in need and she is finally happy with Trip. Gabrielle is a famous fashion guru with her TV program, in California. Lynette finally achieved success as CEO in Katherine's business with Tom and Paige by her side. Juanita became a pretty and confident girl, like her mother, but without that horrible past. Maynard James became a tough but sweet guy, like his late father, Mike. Renee and Ben are happy in a childless marriage. And most of all, all ladies meet twice a year to talk with each other about anything, but without poker, since they did not have time for that. And Edie with all the ghosts is with them, on their journey of life. Like Mary Alice was on Wisteria Lane.
I didn’t love the last season like I did the others. But I still miss this show and have never found anything quite like it since. It’s sad that it’s over
Just watched the whole box set again after years and it's still so funny , touching , silly at times and also serious too. Personally my fav season was 5 and the last one. Bree was my favourite without a doubt, loved her.
@@leonardo899 you are so stupid then lol. Carl was nothing compared to Mike. Being a lawyer didn't make him successful in life because he had very bad character. And Mike definitely had the best body on the Lane.
@@pavlelekic2824 Carl owed a strip joint and made tons of money. Mike was so broke, they had to leave the house and go to an apartment. Winner -- Carl Carl had big muscles, and Mike was just skinny. Winner - Carl
@@leonardo899 and how did he spend that money - on whores? Lol. Mike went to Alaska and worked so hard so they could move back asap. And obviously you didn't watch the whole show. Mike was not skinny at all. He was way more handsome than Carl with more muscles and more beautiful face. So Carl can never be a winner :)
Yeah as others have said, unfortunately the show's creator hated the actress who played Edie. She really should have been in that final segment but he obviously didn't want to ask her back. (I think she actually had a lawsuit against him at the time).
Dear C, my Dear…🙂, It is MY belief that Sadness IS a GOOD 👍🏻 thing ‼️‼️‼️ Just as our Failures keep us going & motivate us to do BETTER than before… …Nostalgia can remind us- 1.) Where we come from; 2.) How we got to where we are NOW; &… 3.) Gives us an idea of where we WANT to be GOING❤️🧡💛💚💙 ALSO, our Emotions, which are DEEPLY rooted IN Nostalia, keep us going as well. Hence, we become embedded w/ this feeling of HOPE… 🫶🏻👍🏻✊🏻✌️🤘🏻💪🏻🙏❤️🧡💛💚
Because that's how time affects, alters, makes us evolve and transforms us before eventually killing us. It's a tool that defines our humanity and our condition as living beings. We live, love, regret, create, forget, forego, accomplish, strive, thrive then...fate happens.
I never finished this series back in the day. May go back now and watch it after so many years. It was so cutting edge at the time. Sad to see Mike died. I always liked him as a character.
I agree, I had not watched the complete series while it had aired originally. I am glad I was able to finally do so. I hate Mike being killed off but am glad Susan was able to go on living without having a complete breakdown or something.
That void you feel after watching the end of an amazing show. This show was my comfort during one of the most difficult times of my life. Now I finished it, it's the end of and era 😢
To the people that keep on asking what Jennifer's secret was, that's the point we don't know and will never know. That's why it's a series finale. The point is the show that even though our characters have moved away from the lane that new residents will always move in and have their own secrets. So it's just showing us that Wisteria Lane will always be full of secrets.
I kept asking myself what the heck Jennifer's hiding in that box, but i understand what you're saying. " The less you know, the better" as they always say.
Came here right after finishing the finale with my mom, its the perfect finale ive ever watched, such a satisfying conclusion to the girls and wisteria lane ❤ will miss binging this show with my mom (brought us both to tears). It will always be out favorite show to binge watch for 6 hours straight 😂 Thank you for all the laughters, (TONS OF) drama, and bittersweet tears .Hope I could go back to the first time I watched this show after years of seeing it on disney+. Sincerely, a loyal DH watcher ❤❤❤
I just restarted the series last week. Still good to this day. I remember watching it with my mom and aunt when I was younger with pizza every new episode.
Marc Cherry is incredible. I've always been a big fan of DH ever since 2006. The anecdotes and narration they have on the show is very telling of us and somehow reflects the very messy lives we have And yet, as day passes we are still given a chance to change that.
Along with "Six Feet Under", this was one of the great series endings of that period. And those two were just recently surpassed -- by the ending of "Fellow Travelers".
Man... I've watched this show when it first came out, ar the age of 10. I watched it with my whole family, and never missed an episode... Watched rhe finale with my family. And now I'm 30, and still remember rhis shows values and themes... It shows how timeless this series is and how fantastic it was these characters and stories from our dear Wisteria Lane.
It hit me hard seeing all these poor souls standing there with their sad eyes, Mike and Karen with her son especially...It feels like the first season of American Horror Story.
The show had some good and bad seasons but it was a great binge watch. I can see why it was appointment TV, I couldn't imagine having to wait every week for new eps or between seasons either.
I remember watching this show from the beginning and being obsessed with every episode and season. And cried when a good character died or when somebody was crying in the show. When Lynette god cancer , when Carl was killed, when Edie died and they did her memory episode , when Gabrielle mom let her be assaulted by her stepdad , when Mary Alice killed herself , when Zack got hooked on drugs, and this last scene around the block. I grew up on this show it was hard to see it go but the women did an amazing job 🩵🩵
Loved the show and the ending. It saddens me when I hear that they never did get together for poker nights, afterwards. After all they all went through. . .
I wanted to live in that neighborhood. Minus the nut jobs, grief & deaths. I know it’s just a backlot but I still want to live there. The facades of the homes were beautiful. I liked Carlos & Gabby’s front porch & sitting area the most. Good memories.
Watched this growing up & binged on it a few months ago. Probably better now that I'm an adult & can understand the parts I didn't get as a child. One of the best shows
I just binge watch this series. Wow! It was a great show. The writers did an excellent job with the finale. Just wished that Nicollette Sheridan could have been negoitiated to return. Edie Britt was sorely missed.
Notice how their lives all changed for the better once they all left Westeria Lane. I feel like the whole show is a satire and indictment of suburban life.
this show, the whole cast means everything to me... I've learned such profound things through this show, each character is so complex yet simple and weaved together all the characters make a beautiful scarf with different patterns
In my head I don’t think the show meant “None of them ever saw each other again” I think it meant “Four grown women living successful, full, but busy lives couldn’t find the time for all four of them to be together again”
Just rewatched this whole show for the first time in a very long time. I forgot how great the ending was. I loved seeing all the characters who passed as Susan was leaving the lane. Supernatural was supposed to do something similar in its finale but couldn't because of covid, which I understand but the finale felt incomplete without it (imo the recurring characters were a big part of what made that show great). Seeing the characters who passed, esp Mike and Mary Alice, really made it complete and the ending perfect.
Man I miss Desperate Housewives! Best TV show in this type of category ever made! The only thing I'll never be ok with was what happened to Mike. I still hate that decision by the writers.
Desperate Housewives, Sex & the City, Golden Girls, The Nanny, Friends... Some of best tv classics. They don't make shows as good as these now, or maybe they do... I haven't watched TV for years. But those good old days.
@@maggieaishalee3829 oh House is definitely a modern classic. That show is still phenomenal television and that character of House is even better because he couldn't exist today lol
This show was 100% genius from start to finish. A true modern masterpiece with an absolutely perfect ending. If only Marc Cherry's follow up series, Devious Maids, was half as good... I still can't believe that there was a short period when The Sopranos, Desperate Housewives, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Battlestar Galactica, and Curb Your Enthusiasm were on the air at the same time...
@@JayJay-nc7prafter the 70s, mid to late 80s and 90s the 2000s was the last really good era of tv imo. Also don't forget great shows from that era too like House MD, The Shield, Dexter, Monk, Burn Notice, Psych, The Closer, Medium, Everybody Loves Raymond, The King of Queens, The Bernie Mac Show, Malcolm In The Middle and Everybody Hates Chris.

After all those years I love to think, that little Lynette Sophie Scavo is raised properly by Porter and Julie. Susan found another love of her life, like Karl and then Mike. Bree has done beautiful things in Kentucky State Legislature for poor ones and those in need and she is finally happy with Trip. Gabrielle is a famous fashion guru with her TV program, in California. Lynette finally achieved success as CEO in Katherine's business with Tom and Paige by her side. Juanita became a pretty and confident girl, like her mother, but without that horrible past. Maynard James became a tough but sweet guy, like his late father, Mike. Renee and Ben are happy in a childless marriage. And most of all, all ladies meet twice a year to talk with each other about anything, but without poker, since they did not have time for that. And Edie with all the ghosts is with them, on their journey of life. Like Mary Alice was on Wisteria Lane.
Beautiful message
beautiful 🥹
I wonder if Renee and Ben eventually moved out of Wisteria Lane
@@maggieaishalee3829 possible
Lynette's and Tom's ending is what i loved the most.
I didn’t love the last season like I did the others. But I still miss this show and have never found anything quite like it since. It’s sad that it’s over
Just watched the whole box set again after years and it's still so funny , touching , silly at times and also serious too. Personally my fav season was 5 and the last one. Bree was my favourite without a doubt, loved her.
I will never forgive this show for killing off Mike. Everyone got a happy ending but Susan.
I never liked Mike. The lawyer guy was way better. He had an amazing body, and unlike Mike, he was successful.
@@leonardo899 you are so stupid then lol. Carl was nothing compared to Mike. Being a lawyer didn't make him successful in life because he had very bad character. And Mike definitely had the best body on the Lane.
@@pavlelekic2824 Carl owed a strip joint and made tons of money. Mike was so broke, they had to leave the house and go to an apartment.
Winner -- Carl
Carl had big muscles, and Mike was just skinny.
Winner - Carl
@@leonardo899 and how did he spend that money - on whores? Lol. Mike went to Alaska and worked so hard so they could move back asap. And obviously you didn't watch the whole show. Mike was not skinny at all. He was way more handsome than Carl with more muscles and more beautiful face. So Carl can never be a winner :)
@@pavlelekic2824 Mike was skinny muscular, Carl was muscular muscular. Mike is a lose who couldn't even support his wife.
Edie (Nicollette Sheridan) should have been in the last scene as a ghost she was a huge part of the show that is the only thing missing here
There was rows I believe and that's why she was left out.
MARC CHERRY hated her(according to Nicollete herself)
@@jasoncasey6667 excalty and I think there's was something else too like didn't or couldn't agree on something
Yeah as others have said, unfortunately the show's creator hated the actress who played Edie. She really should have been in that final segment but he obviously didn't want to ask her back. (I think she actually had a lawsuit against him at the time).
I'm surprised they at least didn't do a "back of the head" shot to imply her without needing the actress
I’m literally tearing up. So nostalgic :( why does nostalgia hurt?
Dear C, my Dear…🙂,
It is MY belief that Sadness IS a GOOD 👍🏻 thing ‼️‼️‼️
Just as our Failures keep us going & motivate us to do BETTER than before…
…Nostalgia can remind us-
1.) Where we come from;
2.) How we got to where we are NOW;
&…
3.) Gives us an idea of where we WANT to be GOING❤️🧡💛💚💙
ALSO, our Emotions, which are DEEPLY rooted IN Nostalia, keep us going as well. Hence, we become embedded w/ this feeling of HOPE…
🫶🏻👍🏻✊🏻✌️🤘🏻💪🏻🙏❤️🧡💛💚
Agree!
Because that's how time affects, alters, makes us evolve and transforms us before eventually killing us. It's a tool that defines our humanity and our condition as living beings. We live, love, regret, create, forget, forego, accomplish, strive, thrive then...fate happens.
INDEED…
🫶🏻👍🏻✊🏻✌️🤘🏻💪🏻🙏❤️🤍💙
@@moisemensah8233 oh wow
I never finished this series back in the day. May go back now and watch it after so many years. It was so cutting edge at the time. Sad to see Mike died. I always liked him as a character.
I agree, I had not watched the complete series while it had aired originally. I am glad I was able to finally do so.
I hate Mike being killed off but am glad Susan was able to go on living without having a complete breakdown or something.
That void you feel after watching the end of an amazing show. This show was my comfort during one of the most difficult times of my life. Now I finished it, it's the end of and era 😢
This is the best one of series ending. There's a lot of emotions appear in a last 4 minutes. Very nostalgic.
The psycho pharmacist trying to look all angelic and pure is hilarious.🤣🤣
right? George definitely wouldve gone to hell cause he committed suicide lmfao
This is probably the best show ever made!!!! From beggining to end just perfection!
What I learned from this show is
Some great things can happen later in life, and so, we must never give up moving forward ❤️
just finished and this will probably be one of my favorite shows ever
Same
To the people that keep on asking what Jennifer's secret was, that's the point we don't know and will never know. That's why it's a series finale.
The point is the show that even though our characters have moved away from the lane that new residents will always move in and have their own secrets. So it's just showing us that Wisteria Lane will always be full of secrets.
I kept asking myself what the heck Jennifer's hiding in that box, but i understand what you're saying. " The less you know, the better" as they always say.
Came here right after finishing the finale with my mom, its the perfect finale ive ever watched, such a satisfying conclusion to the girls and wisteria lane ❤ will miss binging this show with my mom (brought us both to tears). It will always be out favorite show to binge watch for 6 hours straight 😂 Thank you for all the laughters, (TONS OF) drama, and bittersweet tears .Hope I could go back to the first time I watched this show after years of seeing it on disney+.
Sincerely,
a loyal DH watcher ❤❤❤
“…that even the most desperate lives are also wonderful.” ❤
I think it said "...that even the most desperate life is OH SO wonderful". It sounds more like Mary Alice. But maybe I am wrong. ☺️
I just finished rewatching this last night. It was such a great show. They don't make them like this anymore.
Seeing this took my breath away. I miss this show so much!
I just restarted the series last week. Still good to this day. I remember watching it with my mom and aunt when I was younger with pizza every new episode.
One of the best binges I have ever done. Great show.
Everytime I’m crying when Susan is leaving the town and when dead people watching her it’s so sad 😭
The music in this!!! My gosh! Spectacular! The whole show was just amazing!
It’s crazy how Mary Alice was in every episode but she wasn’t physically.
Technically but not every
@@florinparlo5124 yes every
@@polarbun7625 no, there were like a few where other characters did the voiceover, see for yourself
@@florinparlo5124 mary alice always did the recap thing though
@@polarbun7625 yeah? But my point was she wasnt technically in every
Marc Cherry is incredible. I've always been a big fan of DH ever since 2006. The anecdotes and narration they have on the show is very telling of us and somehow reflects the very messy lives we have And yet, as day passes we are still given a chance to change that.
when the video hit 3:00 mark I just couldnt help it I started sobbing///this show was so good )))
Along with "Six Feet Under", this was one of the great series endings of that period. And those two were just recently surpassed -- by the ending of "Fellow Travelers".
I just finished the whole show today and that episod was so intense that I cried
I remember watching this finale as a teenager crying non-stop.
Man... I've watched this show when it first came out, ar the age of 10. I watched it with my whole family, and never missed an episode... Watched rhe finale with my family. And now I'm 30, and still remember rhis shows values and themes... It shows how timeless this series is and how fantastic it was these characters and stories from our dear Wisteria Lane.
It hit me hard seeing all these poor souls standing there with their sad eyes, Mike and Karen with her son especially...It feels like the first season of American Horror Story.
The show had some good and bad seasons but it was a great binge watch. I can see why it was appointment TV, I couldn't imagine having to wait every week for new eps or between seasons either.
I remember watching this show from the beginning and being obsessed with every episode and season. And cried when a good character died or when somebody was crying in the show. When Lynette god cancer , when Carl was killed, when Edie died and they did her memory episode , when Gabrielle mom let her be assaulted by her stepdad , when Mary Alice killed herself , when Zack got hooked on drugs, and this last scene around the block. I grew up on this show it was hard to see it go but the women did an amazing job 🩵🩵
This show was pure brilliance from beginning to end
20 years ago today...
Loved the show and the ending.
It saddens me when I hear that they never did get together for poker nights, afterwards. After all they all went through. . .
I wanted to live in that neighborhood. Minus the nut jobs, grief & deaths. I know it’s just a backlot but I still want to live there. The facades of the homes were beautiful. I liked Carlos & Gabby’s front porch & sitting area the most. Good memories.
I visited the set today at universal. It's so gorgeous.
LOL "minus the nut jobs, grief and deaths"
most place like that the neighor dont even talk to each other.
Watched this growing up & binged on it a few months ago. Probably better now that I'm an adult & can understand the parts I didn't get as a child. One of the best shows
I just binge watch this series. Wow! It was a great show. The writers did an excellent job with the finale. Just wished that Nicollette Sheridan could have been negoitiated to return. Edie Britt was sorely missed.
Iconic television
best show ever
I miss watching this show. I still love it.
Years later, this ending made me cry
Série incrível, marcou a minha vida, conheci na quarentena e me ajudou a passar por aquele período
Just finished watching the whole series last night and this part got me 😭😭
Notice how their lives all changed for the better once they all left Westeria Lane. I feel like the whole show is a satire and indictment of suburban life.
this show, the whole cast means everything to me... I've learned such profound things through this show, each character is so complex yet simple and weaved together all the characters make a beautiful scarf with different patterns
My favourite show
They killed off so many ppl on this show 🤣🤣🤣
Same thing I thought watching this. Lol
Lol that was the main point lol good show indeed.
The best neighborhood with highest death rate
😅
They killed 52 people on the show!!! LOL 😂
I really miss this show
It’s on Disney+
So many people died on this show is what that scene reminds me 😭
In my head I don’t think the show meant “None of them ever saw each other again” I think it meant “Four grown women living successful, full, but busy lives couldn’t find the time for all four of them to be together again”
Just rewatched this whole show for the first time in a very long time. I forgot how great the ending was. I loved seeing all the characters who passed as Susan was leaving the lane. Supernatural was supposed to do something similar in its finale but couldn't because of covid, which I understand but the finale felt incomplete without it (imo the recurring characters were a big part of what made that show great). Seeing the characters who passed, esp Mike and Mary Alice, really made it complete and the ending perfect.
I just started watching this last year 2020 and I was in hook line and sinker !
Damn, This show has a higher body count than Game of thrones🤣
And better than GOT too 🤣
Nah this show needs to come back revived it’s a classic
Nah they'd just ruin it like everything else on tv today.
If I ever win the lottery big time I’m rebuilding Wisteria Lane in real life
One of my favorite shows but I could never remember all the mysteries and how they solved them
"..but sadly it was not meant to be"
I just finished the series for the second time, and I can say for sure, it’s better on the second serving ❤
Watching for the third time❤ best choice ever❤❤ season 5 yet.
Che nostalgia 😢ho amato molto questa serie. Irripetibile ❤
It was so sad Mike had to die almost at the end of the series. I felt so bad for Susan. I wish it never happened.
Man I miss Desperate Housewives! Best TV show in this type of category ever made! The only thing I'll never be ok with was what happened to Mike. I still hate that decision by the writers.
yes it made no sense too, like the loan shark murder didn’t lead to a mystery or anything there was no reason
Desperate Housewives, Sex & the City, Golden Girls, The Nanny, Friends... Some of best tv classics.
They don't make shows as good as these now, or maybe they do... I haven't watched TV for years. But those good old days.
I don't know if House M.D. is classic but definitly is also a top tier show
@@maggieaishalee3829 oh House is definitely a modern classic. That show is still phenomenal television and that character of House is even better because he couldn't exist today lol
I used to watch this when it was an episode per week, it has me hooked!
Respect to mike Delfino from France.
Great show loved it
This show was 100% genius from start to finish. A true modern masterpiece with an absolutely perfect ending. If only Marc Cherry's follow up series, Devious Maids, was half as good...
I still can't believe that there was a short period when The Sopranos, Desperate Housewives, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Battlestar Galactica, and Curb Your Enthusiasm were on the air at the same time...
The 2000s was a golden age of television shows!
@@JayJay-nc7pr Absolutely!
@@JayJay-nc7prafter the 70s, mid to late 80s and 90s the 2000s was the last really good era of tv imo. Also don't forget great shows from that era too like House MD, The Shield, Dexter, Monk, Burn Notice, Psych, The Closer, Medium, Everybody Loves Raymond, The King of Queens, The Bernie Mac Show, Malcolm In The Middle and Everybody Hates Chris.
