Top 26 Craziest Things That Happened On 'Desperate Housewives'

"Desperate Housewives" ("DH") is that show that was always on TV growing up. With Eva Longoria and Terry Hatcher gracing the covers of most magazines, the show surrounded us everywhere. When it got put on Netflix, I spent all of high school telling my parents I was doing homework when I was actually watching "DH" on my laptop all day every day. I am now in college, and I've bought a Hulu subscription just so that my roommates and I can watch "Desperate Housewives" all the time. And trust me, we are constantly watching "Desperate Housewives."

1. Mary Alice and Paul Young paid off a druggie to obtain Zach. And then killed his real mother when she got sober and wanted him back.

2. The riot


3. The airplane crash


5. The hostage situation at the supermarket where Tom’s baby mama gets shot

6. Danielle starts a sex swing internet company in Bree’s test kitchen after her divorce and gets Bree to finance it



7. Bree fakes a pregnancy so no one knows Danielle is pregnant, raises Danielle’s son, and then Danielle takes him back



8. Edie gets electrocuted


9. Edie dates Karl


10. Edie dates Carlos

11. Bree dates Karl

12. Orson’s mother helps Orson’s first wife rape him

13. Mike witnesses Orson helping his mother cover up a murder, so Orson runs him over, sending Mike into a nine-month coma.

14. Mike gets shot by the mob

14. Carlos goes blind and then proceeds to get his sight back

15. Carlos cheats on Gabby with the surrogate

16. Bree has a slut phase while her alcoholism blossoms


17. Tom and Lynette split up

18. Tom's girlfriend throws Penny a birthday party

19. Andrew tries to get emancipated from Bree by lying about her abusing him

20. Gabby has an affair with John Rowland, who is 16, and her gardener

21. Susan’s life (getting locked out naked, Karl’s car drives away with her towel, being a horrible cook, burning Edie’s house down, getting trampled and needing a kidney transplant from Gabby who won’t give it to her, wandering spleen)

22. Lynette gets cancer

23. Susan becomes a stripping maid to make extra money

24. Juanita being switched at birth

25. Zach hitting on Gabby, which is one of the top most ridiculous things and most unnecessary. I didn't need to see Zach in that way....EWW

And the most surprising moment goes to..........

26. This horrible moment when Bree tries to make casual conversation at a dinner party


Throughout all eight seasons of "Desperate Housewives," we see each character grow and change while we laugh and cry along with them. Bree, Gabby, Susan, and Lynette all live within each of us, with Mary Alice narrating our lives throughout our day. May "Desperate Housewives" forever live on.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
