"As involving equally any new drama and funnier than whatsoever new sitcom, Housewives matches loftier visual style with a witty-just-never arch sensibility."

Robert Bianco of USA Today.[xviii]

Disquisitional reception was overwhelmingly positive, and Housewives was considered the breakout hit of the flavour. 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", and going on to say that "[Desperate] Housewives is a brightly colored, darkly comic accept on suburban life, sort of Knots Landing meets The Golden Girls by mode of Twin Peaks."[xviii] Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle thought that Drastic Housewives was "a brilliantly conceived and relentlessly entertaining new drama".[17] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe commented that the series had "marvelous tonal elasticity".[34] Peter Schorn of IGN felt that flavor i was "blessed with an bonny cast (sing the praises of older women!), abrupt writing and a funky vibe of its own" and that "Desperate Housewives was able to have some of the oldest formulas in the book and infuse them with their own destructive twists to whip up a frothy confection of sly wit and dark motives." Schorn gave the season a score of 9 out of ten.[35] [36]

Some critics were non every bit enthusiastic, notwithstanding. On reviewing the DVD release of the season, Entertainment Weekly's Dalton Ross gave it a B+ form, selecting the pilot, "Who's That Woman?", "Guilty", "Children Will Heed" and the flavor finale "Ane Wonderful Twenty-four hour period" every bit the flavour's all-time episodes, and "Suspicious Minds", "Your Fault" and "Love is in the Air" as the season'south worst.[37] 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 bad-mannered nowhereland between campy and leaden, and the voice-over is so grating and so peskily imitative of Sex and the Metropolis that the whole bundle is almost unwatchable."[38]

Season one was nominated for fifteen Primetime Emmy Awards, winning vi. They were in the categories of Outstanding Single-Camera Moving-picture show Editing for a One-act Series, Outstanding Main Championship 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 Serial.[39] Teri Hatcher picked upwardly a Golden Globe Laurels in the category of Best Functioning by an Extra in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for her portrayal of Susan Mayer.
