The second season was officially released on DVD in region 1 on August 29, 2006, almost a month before the third season premiere, which aired on September 24, 2006. Under the title of "Desperate Housewives: The Complete Second Season – The Extra Juicy Edition", the box set consists of episodes with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and widescreen format. It also contained extras available only on DVD, including extended episodes, interviews with cast and crew members, footage from behind the scenes and unaired scenes cut from the aired episodes. The same set was released in region 4 on October 11, 2007, a month after the original release in the United States and Canada. The season has not been on Blu-ray disc in any region. In region 2, it was also released as a double box set including the first season, a triple one consisting of the first three seasons, a multiple one consisting of the first four seasons, another one which included the first five seasons, and a collector's edition which combined the first seven seasons.

As of June 2012, the box set is currently no. 3995 in Movies and Television on Amazon.com and no. 1500 in Film and Television on Amazon.co.uk. The DVD received positive reviews on its video quality and its packaging and design. Aubry D'Arminio of Entertainment Weekly gave the DVD release a 'B minus', citing the poorer quality of the episodes as the main problem. Other reviewers appreciated the decision to house all the bonus features on the last disc, unlike on the season one DVD. The season was released as a region 4 box set on October 4, 2006, and first appeared in region 5 on September 18, 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words home, video and/or release:

    “Funny ain’t it. Here I am worrying about a woman. Men don’t worry much about women when they’re around. But when it gets way off from home like we are now, and where he knows he’s going a lot further away ... I mean that’s when a woman gets workin’ in your mind. You reckon you’re a fool for not noticin’ before how, how big a part of things they be. There ain’t nothin’ like seein’ a woman’s face.”
    —Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)

    “We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
    —Richard Louv (20th century)

    “As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
