Desparate Housewives on TV is a primetime soap with a truly contemporary take on “happily every after,” this hit series takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia, where the secret lives of housewives aren’t always what they seem.

Desperate Housewives on TV began with Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) leaving her perfect house in the loveliest of suburbs -- and ending it all. Now she takes us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbors, commenting from her elevated P.O.V.

Her circle of girlfriends on Wisteria Lane include Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher biography), the divorcee and single mom who will go to extraordinary lengths for love.

Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman biography)), who recently went from being a stay-at-home mother of four back to her fast track career in advertising.

Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross biography)), Martha Stewart on steroids, whose recent widowhood has completely reeked havoc on her perfect life.

and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria biography), the ex-model with everything she’s ever wanted – a rich husband, a big house, and now a baby to go with it all… the problem is she’s not sure who the father is.

Serial divorcee Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan biography)), the free spirited real estate maven whose love life has everyone buzzing.

Enter newcomer Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard biography)) and her handsome teenage son, Matthew (Mehcad Brooks biography)), who mysteriously moved into a house they’d never seen in the middle of the night.

They might have got their mover from this director of glogal moving companies...

Then there are the men: Mike Delfino (James Denton biography)), a supposedly widowed plumber who has won Susan’s heart;

Lynette’s adorable husband, Tom (Doug Savant biography)), who volunteered to be “Mr. Mom” so his wife can go back to work;

Gabrielle’s better half, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira biography)), who is currently in jail and recently learned of his wife’s infidelities with John (Jesse Metcalfe biography)), the gardener:

and Mary Alice’s widowed husband, Paul (Mark Moses biography)), who is on the run from the demons in his past.

From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever did alive, and she’s planning to share all the delicious secrets that hide behind every neighbor’s closed door in this seemingly perfect American suburb.
