"Desperate Housewives" is an American television series that aired on ABC from 2004 to 2012. Created by Marc Cherry, the show is a dramedy (a mix of drama and comedy) that revolves around the lives of a group of women living on Wisteria Lane, a suburban street in the fictional town of Fairview. The series combines elements of mystery, drama, romance, and satire, providing a humorous and sometimes dark look at the secrets and scandals that unfold behind closed doors in a seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood.

The main characters include Susan Mayer (played by Teri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (played by Felicity Huffman), Bree Van de Kamp (played by Marcia Cross), Gabrielle Solis (played by Eva Longoria), and Edie Britt (played by Nicollette Sheridan), among others. Each woman has her own set of challenges, secrets, and personal dramas, and the series explores their interconnected lives.

"Desperate Housewives" received critical acclaim for its writing, performances, and the blend of drama and humor. The show was known for its clever narration by Mary Alice Young (played by Brenda Strong), a character who starts the series by revealing her own mysterious death.

The success of "Desperate Housewives" led to eight seasons and numerous award nominations. It became a cultural phenomenon and has left a lasting impact on television, particularly in the dramedy genre.
