Winner of both the 2005 and 2006 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series -- Musical or Comedy - Desperate Housewives is a primetime soap with a truly contemporary take on "happily ever after." The series, which takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia -- where the secret lives of housewives aren't always what they seem -- began with Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) inside her perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs, taking her own life. Commenting from her elevated point of view, she took us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbors. For Season Seven, the housewives' pasts come back in surprising ways, including the return of Paul Young (Mark Moses) to the neighborhood - fresh out of jail -- with an enigmatic new wife and seemingly dark motives.
