Home Video Release
The third season was officially released on DVD in region 1 on September 4, 2007, almost a month before the fourth season premiere, which aired on September 30, 2007. Under the title of "Desperate Housewives: The Complete Third Season – Dirty Laundry 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.
The box set is currently no. 2598 in Movies and Television on Amazon.com and no. 1951 in Film and Television on Amazon.co.uk. Rachel Thomas of About.com noted an improvement in the box set following the second season's "not-so-great" one, referring to how this season "brings the magic of this refreshing series back to the small screen", by calling each episode "delicious". Thomas expressed her enthusiasm in the box set by stating: "This bonus-rich DVD release offers fans loads of fascinating behind-the-scenes footage and an inside look into how the cast really gets along. You may be surprised while watching the hilarious outtakes and bloopers."

Famous quotes containing the words home, video and/or release:
“And those handmade presents that children often bring home from school: They have so much value! The value is that the child put whatever he or she could into making them. The way we parents respond to the giving of such gifts is very important. To the child the gift is really self, and they want so much for their selves to be acceptable, to be loved.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“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)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
