Summary: Jipped in the City
Review: I have to agree with most of the reviews. I have seasons 1-4. The 5th season is only 8 sub-par episodes. You know they could have done better ... the sixth season is awesome. I love these girls ... but I have to agree ... the price is too high for what you get. I will probably skip it and wait for the final season to come out and buy it. Maybe season 5 will come down and I'll add it to my collection later.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great show, a fantastic season, and to me - worth the $!
Review: For all the negative reviews out here, I have not really seen one that has specific reasons why this season is supposedly "the worst". Simply stating "I didn't like this season at all" is not a a good reason to discourage others from wanting to own this wonderful DVD set. Being an AVID Sex and The City fan, I cannot wait till this set comes out and my dear hubby gets it for me, like he has with the other seasons. I don't care if it was only 8 episodes, it was still 8 GREAT episodes and I could not wait till Sunday nights to watch them. I figure that having the entire show in my collection starting with season 1 will be great for me ~ I can relive my mid-20s as I watch the episodes later (when I am in my 50s and 60s). I recommend this show to everyone, men and women alike, but especially women in their 20s, it's a great look at the dating life we can expect! :) A high price should NOT be a reason for a bad review! Shame on you, so-called "fans"!!! Get over it and spend your $4 at a video store and complain to someone who cares!

Summary: QUIT COMPLAINING!!!!!
Review: For God's sakes, is all you people have to do is complain about how much this set is? First of all, yes the season was shorter, because of SJP's pregnancey, but it was still stellar. And if you bought two DVD's for $... a pop you're spending more. I know that all of you giving this negative reviews are just doing so because of the price. And you will all probably go out and buy it anyway. Cheapskates. The season was good, and the series is almost over. For all you Sex and the City fans get this set and enjoy the last episodes before it's over. And all you people whining about the price, stop confusing that with the quality of the series, give honest reviews of the episodes, and if the price of this set is really setting you back. Get better jobs.

Summary: Still a good season, and will buy the DVD when it's cheaper
Review: I have seen every episode from the beginning, and like a lot of you agree (...) is too much for only 8 episodes. But what I am also seeing is a complaint of the 8 shows. I have to disagree...SITC is not only a comedy, but a chance to get to know the girls. This season we actually saw Samantha fall in love. Maybe eveyone is upset b/c it was not funny...I don't always tend to watch them b/c they are funny, but to see what's up. There have been several episodes that I was sad and cried (Miranda's mom dying). Some of you have mentioned how ridiculous it is for 40 something women to go after these 20 something sailors (episode 1). That was the point!!! I felt sad for them and they knew they were sad for doing it! I felt like this was a completely true to life season, and maybe you people have a problem with it b/c the reality was too much. I liked this season and once the price comes down will definately add it to my collection and watch it when I need a good cry, since sometimes that is just as important as a good laugh!

Summary: What do they think, we're idiots or something?
Review: Like everybody else, I enjoy the show. I went ahead and bought seasons 2-4. But I saw 2 season 5 episodes (or 1 whole 3rd of the entire season for you math students out there) and they were the worst episodes of Sex and the City I've ever seen. I still would have considered dropping $15 on a 2 disc set just to catch up on the story lines, but $32 (ON SALE) or $4 per sub-par episode? You've gotta be kidding me! if I have money to burn I MIGHT pay $4 to rent the whole thing from my video store, but that's about it. Here's what I'd like to see with Season 6: A 3-4 disc DVD collection that's actually worth the *$30-$40* price tag because A. the discs are packaged in something other than cheap plastic that completely falls apart the third time you open it, and B. it actually has "extras" on the discs that you couldn't get anywhere else. And when I say "extras", I mean something more than 4 episode commentaries by the always enthralling Michael Patrick King. For example, the latest Simpsons DVD had more discs than any SATC release and commentary by Matt Groening, writers, directors and at least 2 cast members on EVERY EPISODE, and I STILL paid less for it than my SATC dvds. I'm sure they could also find outtakes, gag reels, and other material that would be of interest to us fans to include. I think even the most loyal fan should avoid buying this set and encouraging HBO to continue this ignorant brand of customer service.

Summary: Bad Sex and the City for HBO...
Review: Being a huge Sex and the City fan, I've decided not to pay into HBO's greed and buy the 5th. season on DVD. It's only 8 episodes long and double disc...why are we being charged full price? Why couldn't they put in an extra disc of extras or bloopers? Frankly, it's not worth the $33. I think I've had too much Sex and the City this time around...bye girls!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ...for What?????????????/
Review: I know that there have been many reviews about the price of the fifth season of Sex and the City. Okay, I am a huge fan of Sex and the City, I love all the girls. But there was only about eight episodes in this season, which was not one of the best, so why is HBO trying to charge full price for the dvd sex. Usually there are between 18-21 episodes in their full season for the same price, so why charge the full amount. This season to me was a let down. Even though Sarah Jessica Parker was pregnant and they couldn't work it into the show, they did not have to have her character suffer. Her charcter did a complete 180 degree turn. Usually Carrie shows soul and substance, in this season she was too bubbly and lacked her true self. I just think that HBO needs to reconsider the pricing of the box sex or this will be the only season that I don't have on DVD!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Two Disk Rip Off
Review: Only 8 episodes on only two discs and they still want the same price!!! No Way....better off to wait and buy it used. I knew that this season would be less volume wise, but I also thought the the price would reflect that as well. This is outrageous!!!
The quality of the shows were also lower this season. I have the first 4 seasons and wanted this one to complete my set, but I think that I will pass for now!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Rip Off In The City!
Review: Let me just say that I love the show. Every sunday my friends gather at my house and we make drinks and watch our favorite girls. I own season one through four. After season three it seemed the show started to go downhill, but kept watching. Season 5 was horrible no matter how much I love the show, it stunk! HBO has the audacity to charge full price when we will only recieve half of the normal amount of shows and the shows were garbage compared to their previous seasons. I'm a completist too, but season 4 is where I draw the line if the price doesn't come down. Also for the idiot's praising season 5, you must have either seen another season or work for HBO, because it was GARBAGE and if you are willing to pay full price for less content you deserve to. Let's get REAL people.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A bad season of SATC is better than ANYTHING on Broadcast TV
Review: C'mon, fans, even Sex and the City's least worthwhile season is better than ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you'll see on broadcast TV. Season Five has it's high points, though... Carrie's photo shoot for the book cover is classic and the appearances by Amy Sedaris and Molly Shannon, though a little forced, are still fun. Sure, it had it's low points...the trip to San Francisco...but again, even though it's nowhere near the "dramedy" brilliance of Season Three, and even though everyone's right to be a little p-o'd about the cost, I AM DREADING THE END OF THIS SPECTACULAR SHOW and will be thrilled to have this in my DVD collection.
