Reception
[edit]Viewership and reviews
[edit]The pilot episode garnered 21.6 million viewers when it aired on October 3, 2004, winning its timeslot of 9:00pm Eastern Standard Time / 8:00pm Central.[21] It had the most viewers for any ABC season premiere since 1996's Spin City.[22] After airing three episodes, ABC picked up Desperate Housewives for a full season.[23][24] Overall, the first season averaged 23.7 million viewers for all 23 episodes in the U.S.,[1] with the season's largest audience of over 30 million viewers tuning in for the season finale.[25] Out of all regular primetime programming that aired during the 2004-2005 American television season, Desperate Housewives ranked #4 out of #156 according to the Nielsen Ratings system.[1]
"As involving as any new drama and funnier than any new sitcom, Housewives matches high visual style with a witty-but-never arch sensibility."
Critical reception was generally favorable. Robert Bianco of USA Today gave the pilot a score of four stars out of four, calling it "[r]efreshingly original, bracingly adult and thoroughly delightful" going on to say that "[Desperate] Housewives is a brightly colored, darkly comic take on suburban life, sort of Knots Landing meets The Golden Girls by way of Twin Peaks."[9] Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle thought that Desperate Housewives was "a brilliantly conceived and relentlessly entertaining new drama."[8] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe commented that the series had "marvelous tonal elasticity."[26] Peter Schorn of IGN felt that season one was "blessed with an attractive cast (sing the praises of older women!), sharp writing and a funky vibe of its own" and that "Desperate Housewives was able to take some of the oldest formulas in the book and infuse them with their own subversive twists to whip up a frothy confection of sly wit and dark motives." Schorn gave the season a score of 9 out of 10.[27][28]
Some critics were not as enthusiastic, however. Upon reviewing the DVD release of the season, Entertainment Weekly's Dalton Ross gave it a B+ grade, selecting the pilot, "Who's That Woman?", "Guilty", "Children Will Listen" and the season finale "One Wonderful Day" as the season's best episodes, while selecting "Suspicious Minds", "Your Fault" and "Love is in the Air" as the season's worst.[29] Similarly, Heather Havrilesky of Salon.com felt that after a few episodes, "this dark exploration of the lives of women has not only slid quickly into clichés, but the acting feels forced and overplayed, the stories are wildly unrealistic, the direction is stuck in some awkward nowhereland between campy and leaden, and the voice-over is so grating and so peskily imitative of "Sex and the City" that the whole package is almost unwatchable."[30]
Awards
[edit]Season one was nominated for a total of fifteen Primetime Emmy Awards. Six of the fifteen nominations were won. They were in the categories of Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Comedy Series, Outstanding Main Title Theme Music which was awarded Danny Elfman, Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series which was awarded to Felicity Huffman for her portrayal of Lynette Scavo, Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series which was awarded to Kathryn Joosten for her portrayal of Mrs. McCluskey, Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series which was awarded to Charles McDougall and Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series.[31] Teri Hatcher picked up a Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series - Musical or Comedy for her portrayal of Susan Mayer. The season received four other Golden Globe nominations, winning one for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy.[32] The season also won two Screen Actors Guild Awards; one was awarded to Teri Hatcher in the category Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series and the other was awarded to the series cast under the category of Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.[33]
