The third season of the American dramedy-mystery television series
Desperate Housewives
commenced airing on
ABC
in the United States on September 24, 2006, and concluded on May 20, 2007. The season continues the story of the
Wisteria Lane
residents, describing their lives in the suburban neighborhood, while dealing with the arrival of the mysterious
Orson Hodge
. The season follows the lives and events of
Susan Mayer
,
Lynette Scavo
,
Bree Van De Kamp
,
Gabrielle Solis
and
Edie Britt
. Broadcast in the Sunday night timeslot at 9:00 ET, the season aired twenty-three regular episodes. In addition, two
clip shows
were produced for the season, in order to put the previous events of the show in perspective. "
The Juciest Bites
" aired before the
seventeenth episode
, detailing the events of the first three seasons, in order to introduce the new story arcs in the end of the season. "
Secrets and Lies
" was narrated by
Brenda Strong
and was the last clip show to be produced for the series, airing before
the inception
of the
fourth season
.
The season received critical acclaim, most critics noting an improvement in the writing after the unsuccessful
second season
. The production team and the cast members received positive critical response, resulting in numerous awards and nominations. This season also aired the first "disaster episode" of the series, "
Bang
", which saw the main characters dealing with a shooting in a local supermarket. Despite numerous complaints about scheduling in the previous seasons,
Desperate Housewives
was one of the few
ABC
series to keep its original time slot. The highest-rated episode of the season was
the season premiere
, watched by 24.09 million viewers with an 8.5 rating, ranking second in the week.

Buena Vista Home Entertainment
officially released the season on DVD in the United States and Canada on September 4, 2007.
Production
[
edit
]
Marc Cherry returned as the series' showrunner and executive producer. After leaving the episodic writing to his staff during the second season, he returned as a writer as well.
[2]
[3]
Michael Edelstein
and
Tom Spezialy
, who served as executive producers for seasons one and two, did not return for the series' third season due to creative differences.
[3]
[4]
[5]
They were replaced by
Kevin Murphy
and
George W. Perkins
, both of whom had previously served as co-executive producers in earlier seasons.
[6]
John Pardee
,
Joey Murphy
, and
Chris Black
continued to serve as co-executive producers.
Larry Shaw
and David Grossman, both of whom previously served as producers and directors for the series, were promoted to co-executive producers, with
Bob Daily
rounding out the team. All but Black, Grossman, Perkins, and Shaw also served as writers for the third season.
Alexandra Cunningham
,
Jenna Bans
,
Kevin Etten
,
Josh Senter
, and
Dahvi Waller
returned to the writing staff and were joined by
Susan Nirah Jaffee
, Brian A. Alexander,
Christian McLaughlin
,
Valerie Ahern
, and
Jeff Greenstein
.
[6]
Bans and Etten also served as story editors. Shaw and Grossman continued to direct episodes, as did
Wendey Stanzler
. New directors for the third season included
David Warren
,
Sanaa Hamri
, and
Matthew Diamond
.
[6]
Cherry's decision to advance the storylines by six months for the third-season premiere came as a response to the series' problematic
second season
. Cherry stated that he regretted most of the second season, as scheduling problems made it difficult to plan the season's storylines.
[7]
"One of the problems I had with season two was that I had to keep going with the previous year's stuff," he explained that he learned he had to go back to square one to build up the tension again, expressing his own disappointment in the development of the second season.
[8]
The cast also expressed disappointment in the second season; James Denton considered leaving the show and Marcia Cross confessed "I've been at Marc's door plenty of times with script complaints, going 'You've got to be kidding.'"
[3]
Cherry stated that the six-month time jump would help the storylines develop quicker, as the second season's storylines lagged. He added: "And I'm going to work much harder to criss-cross all the women's stories so that their lives bump up against each other."
[3]
To help refresh the show, several new writers were hired, including Greenstein,
Joe Keenan
, who also served as an executive producer, and
Bob Daily
, who was also a producer. Daily commented, "When we came on in season three, the mandate was to bring the show back to its roots. That meant having plotlines spring from relatable experiences, no matter how operatic or convoluted."
[9]
For the season's main mystery, Cherry and the writers wanted to incorporate more of the series' regular characters rather than bringing in various new ones, like they had done in the second season with
Betty Applewhite
(
Alfre Woodard
) and her family. They developed the Orson plot line around the "idea that one of our women marries a guy who has dark secrets and possibly a violent streak." Cherry opined: "I thought there was something exciting about that, but real and relatable."
[10]
Greenstein commented that the writers worked backwards from the second season's cliffhangers to develop the Orson storyline, forsaking the original material that had been developed earlier.
[11]
The cast responded positively to the new material for the season.
[10]
The season is the first to feature Kyle MacLachlan as a series regular. He originally appeared as Orson Hodge in a string of episodes at the end of the second season.
[12]
The Orson character was originally planned as a romantic interest for Susan, according to executive producer
Tom Spezialy
, until Cherry decided to pair Orson with Bree.
[12]
[13]
Additionally, when Orson was introduced toward the end of the second season, he was originally to be a con artist. A character portrayed by
Julie White
appeared in the
second-season finale
and would have been Orson's accomplice, but the entire storyline was discarded in favor of the mysterious disappearance of Orson's wife and White's character was not seen or mentioned again.
[14]
[15]
MacLachlan commented that his character is "desperate to make this relationship with Bree work. Anything that tries to knock that apart becomes a threat."
[10]
Cherry called Orson Bree's perfect match, but added that their similarities "will ultimately prove to be the downfall of the relationship."
[10]
Kiersten Warren also returned to the series as Nora Huntington after being introduced at the end of the second season. On her storyline, Warren commented, "There's a lot of families who are going through this. Not quite the surprise ooh, boo, child, but children from other marriages and trying to meld these families. I think a lot of people have to deal with it. I think it's fantastic that they're doing this on the show."
[16]
Dougray Scott made his debut in the season premiere as Ian Hainsworth, Susan's romantic interest. Cherry opined that the character "can legitimately rival Mike for [Susan's] affections."
[10]
Daily commented on the storyline, saying: "Talk about dark comedy ? we're trying to find the humor in these two people bonding over the fact that they each have a partner in a coma."
[10]
Scott called his character "bumbling at times," adding, "He kind of blossoms after he rediscovers his romantic juices with Susan."
[17]

Critical response
[
edit
]
Unlike the second season's opener, which started that illadvised business in the basement and kept the women largely separated, this year's kickoff script, by series creator Marc Cherry and Jeff Greenstein, does everything right.
David Bianculli,
New York Daily News
[18]
David Kronke of the
Los Angeles Daily News
wrote that the show "returns to its wicked wit, dialing back but certainly not eradicating the melodrama."
[19]
He complimented the four main actresses for their comedic relief and concluded: "Rarely does a show unjump the shark this well; it's back in fine form, calibrating its humor and its menace just right."
[19]
New York Daily News
writer David Bianculli compared the premiere to the show's second season, noting that the episode showed "an assurance and a knowing playfulness that was missing most of last year."
[18]
He complimented Cherry and Greenstein's script and approved the storylines for each character. Bianculli opined that the episode returned the quality of the show's first season and concluded: "Pass the word: If you've given up on
Desperate Housewives
, it's time to return to the neighborhood."
[18]
Entertainment Weekly
's
Lindsay Soll identified Eva Longoria as the episode's strongest performer, declaring that she "definitely looks like the one to watch this season."
[20]
Soll was glad to see that the Susan character was "a little more toned down and less accident-prone than usual," and called the scenes with Susan and Mike touching.
[20]
Additionally, she opined that Laurie Metcalf "did a brilliant job of playing the classic television nosy neighbor," but expressed her confusion over the Orson storyline.
[20]
Dave Anderson of
TV Guide
called the season premiere first-rate, while praising the comedic Bree storyline and declaring the set-up for the Orson mystery storyline ingenious. He commended Marcia Cross' performance but opined that Longoria provided the best comedic relief. He also complimented Teri Hatcher's acting, commenting that she "was awesome in the poignant scene where she asks the comatose Mike permission to go on the "almost date" with Ian."
[21]
Anderson identified the Scavo storyline as "the weakest link" in the episode and hoped that the Nora and Kayla characters would not remain on the show for too long.
[21]
TV Guide
writer Matt Roush shared similar sentiments regarding the Scavo storyline, stating that while the premiere overall was good, "Lynette is trapped in a story line so desperately unamusing, one that makes her and everyone around her act so idiotic, that you have to pray that we'll soon see the last of the obnoxious Nora, mother of Tom's surprise daughter."
[22]
He described the storyline as "painfully unpleasant and unfunny." However, Roush praised the performances of Metcalf and Valerie Mahaffey, while concluding that
Desperate Housewives
"shows encouraging signs of getting its act together."
[22]
In a separate review, Roush unfavorably compared the Orson character to Bree's former love interest,
George Williams
(
Roger Bart
), while also admitting to being "a bit weary" of the Gabrielle storyline.
[23]
USA Today
's
Robert Bianco acknowledged that "
Listen to the Rain on the Roof
" managed to avoid repeating many of the second season's mistakes noting that the four main characters spend more time together and the annual mystery "is hot-wired into the housewives themselves."
[24]
Bianco remarked that Cross successfully maintained her position as the series' most prominent lead and was pleased with Susan's storyline, calling it "a conflict that gives Teri Hatcher a genuinely funny, rather than forced, sight gag."
[24]
He approved of the writers' decision to distance the characters from their second season storylines, but opined: "The harder mistake to overcome is the damage the show did to its main characters ? allowing them to behave in ways that made them seem weak, selfish, stupid and, at times, despicable."
[24]
Bianco concluded: "It will take more than one good episode to win us back after all that. But it's certainly a good place to start."
[24]
Jen Creer of
TV Squad
was mixed in her review. She criticized the lack of originality in the storylines, writing that the episode was similar to
Sex and the City
. Nevertheless, Creer complimented the main actresses, concluding, "I'll be tuning in next week -- for all of its camp and unoriginality, the show does continue to have that certain something, those little twists of genius that make it worth watching."
[25]
Andy Dehnart
of
MSNBC
was slightly more positive in his review, acknowledging that while "most of the housewives are stuck in their second-season ruts," the show's overall quality has improved, citing the Orson storyline as a welcomed change from the slow-moving Applewhite mystery arc.
[26]
Overall, Dehnart approved of the episode and felt that the show "may be on track to finally pleasuring its audience in new, albeit familiar ways."
