'Desperate Housewives'- Season 1 Trivia Questions

1. In Mary Alice's narration, she stated that Sophie had been married how many times?

From Quiz
1.21 "Sunday in the Park with George"

Answer: 4

Mary Alice: "When she was younger, Sophie Bremmer was a hopeless romantic. She was also hopelessly naive. Which is how she came to be married four times." Susan also stated Sophie had been married four times in the previous episode, and her mother reminded her that two times were to the same man. Sophie was married the first time to a "man who liked to gamble". The second time was to a "man who liked to drink". The third time was to a "man who liked other men". And, Sophie's fourth marriage was to the second man again, the one who liked to drink.

2. What did Mrs. McCluskey take from the front of Lynette's house?

From Quiz 1.19 "Live Alone and Like It "

Answer: garbage cans

Karen McCluskey was walking away from Lynette's just as Lynette was walking out to put garbage inside the cans. She informed Lynette that pick-up had been two days prior and so she assumed Lynette no longer wanted the cans. It was her way of minding someone else's business, all the while pointing out to Lynette she was not doing what she was supposed to do. So, Lynette informed Karen she needed to hire someone to landscape the jungle in her front lawn. Shortly afterward, Karen sunk toward the ground in pain. And, even though she knew she'd regret it, Lynette called an ambulance for her neighbor. She even rode in with the woman to the hospital.

3. According to Mary Alice, how long had Juanita Solis been dreaming?

From Quiz 1.17 "There Won't Be Trumpets"

Answer: 5 months

Mama Solis had been dreaming since her coma began. Mary Alice narrated that sometimes she dreamed of Gabby's affair with John, and sometimes she dreamed of Andrew running her down in the street. But the thing she dreamed the most about was the one of her waking up to tell Carlos the truth about Gabby. Then one night, she finally decided it was just time to wake up!

4. Ida Greenberg stole a newspaper off of whose lawn?

From Quiz 1.16 "The Ladies Who Lunch"

Answer: Bree's

As Mary Alice narrated about the "smell of scandal" in a small community, Bree shouted at her neighbor for taking the newspaper off of her lawn. Pat Crawford Brown played Ida. She's guest starred on "Arrested Development", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Days of Our Lives", "General Hospital", "Gilmore Girls", "Murphy Brown" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" to name just a few.

5. Lynette's boys gave her a Valentine's Day gift that they'd stolen from their neighbor. What was it?

From Quiz 1.14 "Love Is In the Air"

Answer: a flower pot

Mary Alice narrated about all of the kid creations Lynette had begrudgingly accepted from her children over the years. The one gift that they'd made, that she happened to love as well, was this flower pot. It looked like a child had made it, or at least painted it, but it was not made by her boys. Lynette placed it proudly out on her front porch, and the next day the neighbor came to take it back. Lynette ran outside to stop her and discovered that Mrs. McCluskey had purchased it in Costa Rica for 200 pesos. Fun fact: the real currency of Costa Rica at this time was called the colon or colones for plural. Kathryn Joosten played Karen McCluskey.

6. "To her mother's way of thinking _______ was the perfect child." What child's name fits into this quote from Mary Alice's narration?

From Quiz 1.13 "Your Fault"

Answer: Julie

Mary Alice narrated about the smugness of parents who had a "good child" when they witnessed another parent with their "bad child". Susan drove up to her home and saw Lynette trying to deal with her sons. Lynette did not have bad children, she just needed to figure out how to enforce her authority. Susan believed Julie to be her prefect child, only to walk up and see Julie kissing Zach Young! Afterward, Lynette witnessed Susan and Julie fighting about Zach, and it seemed to make her feel better. Susan did not want 14 year old Julie going to the school dance with Zach.

7. According to Mary Alice's narration, who was the first real friend Edie Britt had ever had?

From Quiz 1.11 "Move On"

Answer: Martha Huber

Edie had never seemed to be able to acquire any female friends. But, Martha Huber had bonded with Edie soon after Edie's arrival to Wisteria Lane. Of course, Martha was constantly mean and critical of Edie, but Edie did not care about that. When Martha's sister Felicia arrived to town, she admitted to Edie that she knew Martha was dead, would find out what happened to her, and that she hated her sister.

8. Maisy Gibbons had a secret. She 'entertained' men during the afternoon for money. Whose husband was one of her best clients?

From Quiz 1.10 "Come Back to Me"

Answer: Bree's

Maisy told one of her clients that when she'd been unable to afford her country club membership, one woman in particular had made Maisy feel hopeless. That woman's husband became one of Maisy's best clients, and it turned out to be Rex Van de Kamp.

9. According to Mary Alice's narration, what was Gabrielle's first great idea?

From Quiz 1.9 "Suspicious Minds"

Answer: to buy a bus ticket to New York

Mary Alice stated that Gabby's first great idea came at age fifteen. Her step-father came to her room for a "late night visit" and she bought a bus ticket to New York the very next day. Her second great idea came when Gabby seduced a famous fashion photographer at age twenty. She became a runway model one week later. Her third great idea was her decision to marry Carlos. Her fourth great idea came out of her boredom, and that was to have an affair with the teenaged gardener John. Gabby's fifth great idea took place in this episode; a charity fashion show for Sacred Heart hospital.

10. Mama Solis is in the hospital, in a coma. Being the good son that he is, Carlos goes to the Chapel to pray. Who goes with him?

From Quiz 1.8 "Guilty"

Answer: John

John was feeling guilty. Thinking because he chased Juanita Solis into the street in front of the car, it was his fault. He brings fresh picked roses to her hospital room. Carlos says he is going to the Chapel, John joins him.

Of course, Gabby is able to persuade Carlos into keeping Yao Lin, so she has energy for "other" things.

18. One wonderful day fifteen years earlier, in 1990, Angela Forrest bought a ten-month old baby Dana from a junkie girl named Deirdre. Very shortly afterwards, she changed her and her family's names and moved to what town with her husband and baby?

From Quiz One Not-So-Wonderful Day (Part 1)

Answer: Fairview

"Desperate Housewives" takes place in a made up state (Eagle State) in a make-believe town (Fairview), on an imaginary street (Wisteria Lane). Before Mary Alice Young and her husband and new son, Paul and Zach, respectively, move to Eagle State, they lived in Utah. Deirdre offered Mary Alice (then Angela) her baby for all of the money she kept in the house, and since Mary Alice couldn't have a child of her own, and Deirdre so desperately needed money and would very obviously not spend it on her baby, Mary Alice bought baby Dana from her.

19. What road do the housewives live on?

From Quiz 'Desperate Housewives': Season 1

Answer: Wisteria Lane

The housewives all live on Wisteria Lane, which is in the suburban regions of New York.

Right after she found out about the affair she was struck by Andrew Van De Kamp who was on his way home and was driving drunk. After several months in a coma, she awoke and went to find someone to tell them about her daughter-in-law's infidelities. She slipped on the wet hospital floor and fell down the stairs. She told the nurse to tell her son about the affair but she was wearing headphones and didn't hear what Mrs. Solis had said.

21. This late wife (who commited suicide) is the narrator of the show.

From Quiz "Desperate Housewives" Which Housewife?

Answer: Mary Alice Young

22. Whose husband bought her the expensive necklace?

From Quiz "Desperate Housewives" - "Pilot"

Answer: Gabrielle

Gabrielle's husband buys her a $15,000 necklace, figuring that she'll do everything he says. Au contraire, Carlos!

23. "Goodbye For Now"- Paul left a secret note for his son Zach, but Felicia found it before Zach could read it. Where was it hidden?

From Quiz 1.22/1.23 "Goodbye For Now/One Wonderful Day"

Answer: inside a baseball glove

Mike Delfino watched as Paul dropped off a box in front of Martha/Felicia's house. Afterward, Zach was seen sitting at a table with Felicia, and the box was opened beside them. He read a fake note from Paul, stating he had to go away for awhile. Then, Zach became angry and tossed the items all over the place. Felicia picked up the baseball glove and inside found a secret note. It stated that Paul had not abandoned Zach, and Zach was to meet him secretly at the baseball field.

24. What blue item was Gabrielle looking at, that she said she wanted before her husband's "going away" barbecue?

From Quiz 1.20 "Fear No More"

Answer: car

The saleswoman mentioned she hadn't seen Gabby in the showroom in quite a while. Gabby explained to her that they'd been downsizing, but it was all in the past. She wanted the blue Maserati in her driveway before her Saturday barbecue. She explained she wanted everyone admiring it at her husband's "going away party". But, the smell of the leather, which happened to be 100% Italian calf, was so intense it made poor pregnant Gabby nauseous. She vomited inside the car! Fun fact: The 2005 Maserati Spyder was about $80,000.

25. Who was questioned about a 1992 purchase of a toy chest with dancing bears on it?

From Quiz 1.18 "Children Will Listen"

Answer: Paul Young

The detectives came to Paul's house to ask about a toy chest purchased by Mary Alice "12 years" prior. Detectives Burnett and Beckerman explained to Paul that it had been purchased in August of 1992. The man who made those chests kept a record of all the people who'd ever purchased them. Zach was raking in the yard and listened to the exchange carefully. The detectives wanted to find out where it was now located, even though they were sure they already knew the answer to it. Paul was adamant he did not recall the item in question, but Zach piped up that he did remember it. He said he'd broken the chest when he was little. When he asked the men why the chest was important, Burnett explained that one just like it had washed up in Torch Lake with a dismembered woman's body inside. Brett Cullen played Burnett and John Lacy played Beckerman.

26. After Susan agreed to inform the police about Martha's bracelet, who actually called them?

From Quiz 1.15 "Impossible"

Answer: Bree

Susan told her friends about the bracelet, and about Mike's story of his being shot. They were torn about how to handle it; not Bree so much, but the other three women. Susan finally agreed that while she believed Mike to be innocent of the murder, they had to let the police known about the bracelet's discovery. Bree mused about whether to dial 9-1-1 or not, and in the end made the call.

27. "When you love a child that much, you're capable of doing all sorts of things." Who said this?

From Quiz 1.14 "Love Is In the Air"

Answer: Lynette

Lynette and the ladies were discussing Susan's recent discovery about Dana. They agreed that Zach killing baby Dana was the secret Mary Alice had been keeping. When Lynette said that quote she seemed to be thinking of her boys, and Bree was probably thinking about her son Andrew. Andrew was the one who'd committed a hit and run on Mama Solis, leaving her in a coma. Bree and Rex had caused Andrew's car to be stolen, thus further covering up his complicity.

28. Susan found a letter addressed to her daughter Julie. Who was it from?

From Quiz 1.9 "Suspicious Minds"

Answer: Zach Young

Julie acted disinterested in the letter at first, but finally admitted that she'd been corresponding with Zach for a couple of weeks. Susan was hoping for more information on the mysterious "Dana" of the baby blanket. Weren't we all?

29. How much money does Edie accuse Mrs. Huber of taking from her purse?
