Desperate Housewives aired on ABC from 2004 to 2012 and became one of the defining television hits of the 2000s. Set on the seemingly idyllic Wisteria Lane in the fictional town of Fairview, the series followed the dramatic, scandalous, and often deadly lives of several close friends, while being narrated by their deceased neighbor. Blending mystery, comedy, and romance with soap-opera twists, the show captivated audiences for over eight seasons.
