DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES EPISODES SERIES
While developing storylines for the second season, series creator Marc Cherry stated, "I want to keep finding new ways to talk about issues that relate to everyday women," explaining that the show needs to focus on "small, real, everyday issues" in order to keep the audience interested. Previously unseen in first season, "Circle Drive" contained a church facade, which was replaced by Edie Britt's second home, and the Colonial Mansion building, which was destroyed and replaced with a park for the series. The cul-de-sac, known as "Circle Drive" by crew members, was heavily remodeled. Colonial Street, which is the location of Wisteria Lane set for the series, went through additional changes prior to production on the second season. Cast member Teri Hatcher has also mentioned production problems during filming for the series' second season, including incomplete or delayed scripts, whereas fellow cast members Marcia Cross, James Denton, and Felicity Huffman have all expressed concerns of the series' declining quality both with the writing staff and the press. Cherry has since said that he regrets most of the second season and that ABC's decision to order an additional episode for the season forced the series to work on an abbreviated schedule. Edelstein left the series after the first thirteen episodes of the season, and Spezialy followed in May 2006. Cherry left a majority of the season's writing to other staff members, which many critics faulted as the reason for the decreasing quality of the series. Wendey Stanzler, Robert Duncan McNeill, Pam Thomas, Randy Zisk, Stephen Cragg, and Tom Cherones directed episodes of the series for the first time during this season. Nine directors serviced Desperate Housewives, including season one directors Larry Shaw, David Grossman and Arlene Sanford. Bans and Senter also became story editors. Season one writers Alexandra Cunningham, Jenna Bans, Kevin Etten, and Josh Senter were joined by new series writers Bruce Zimmerman, Dahvi Waller, Alan Cross, Ellie Herman, Jim Lincoln, and Scott Sanford Tobis. All but Edelstein and Pardee also served as writers. Perkins, Chris Black, Joey Murphy and John Pardee.
Screenwriter Kevin Murphy also returned to the series, this season as a co-executive producer alongside George W. Marc Cherry, Tom Spezialy, and Michael Edelstein returned as executive producers for the second season of the series. Buena Vista Home Entertainment officially released the season on DVD in the United States and Canada on August 29, 2006. The highest-rated episode of the season was the season premiere, watched by 28.36 million viewers, with a 10.1 rating, being the series' second highest-rated episode to date. However, the main cast members, as well as the guest stars, received critical acclaim, resulting in numerous awards and nominations. The season received mixed reviews from television critics, noting Marc Cherry's lack of involvement in the production as one of the main reasons for the series' decreasing quality. The main story lines of the season were Susan Mayer's relationship with her former husband, Gabrielle Solis' upcoming motherhood, Lynette Scavo's return to work and the death of Bree Van de Kamp's husband. The second season had fourteen roles receiving star billing, out of whom eleven were part of the first season's main cast. " Time to Come Clean" aired three weeks before the inception of the third season, and reviewed the previous mysteries of the series before introducing the new story lines. " All the Juicy Details" aired before the eleventh episode, detailing the most memorable events of the season's first half, whereas " The More You Know, The Juicier It Gets", which aired before the twentieth episode, prepared the viewers for the highly anticipated season finale. In addition, three clip shows were produced for the season, in order to put the previous events of the show in perspective.
Broadcast in the Sunday night time slot at 9.00 ET, the season aired twenty-four regular episodes, including a two-part season finale.
The season continues the story of the Wisteria Lane residents, while their seemingly perfect lives in the suburban neighborhood are shaken by the arrival of the mysterious Betty Applewhite.
The second season of the American dramedy-mystery television series Desperate Housewives commenced airing in the United States on September 25, 2005, and concluded on May 21, 2006.
