The Four Neighbors and Their Husbands

Susan Mayer, a klutzy illustrator, marries first Karl and then Mike Delfino the plumber. Lynette Scavo juggles five kids and Tom, an exhausted ad executive. Bree Van de Kamp, a perfectionist homemaker, loses Rex before marrying dentist Orson Hodge. Gabrielle Solis, a former model, lives with Carlos and has an affair with John, the young gardener. Our easy questions cover these basics: husbands' first names, occupations, and family trees. The medium and hard levels dig into secondary couples, adopted children, remarriages, and characters who joined the show later on.

Mary Alice, the Narrator, and the Mysteries of Each Season

Mary Alice Young takes her own life with a gunshot in the pilot episode, yet narrates all eight seasons from beyond the grave. The mystery of the first arc — the threatening letter, the buried chest in the garden, the swapped baby — sets the template for the series. Each season adds its own storyline: the Applewhites and their locked-away son in season 2, the Fairview Strangler in season 3, the tornado that hits Wisteria Lane in season 4, the country club fire in season 5, the plane crash in season 6, and Ben Faulkner plus the stepfather's body in seasons 7 and 8. Our hard questions test your memory of the real culprits and the less publicized twists.
