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:

    “A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
    —Bill Cosby (20th century)

    “It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
    —Marie Winn (20th century)

    “An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
