Summary: Smartest comedy I've seen in a long time
Review: I should start by confessing that I came to watch SATC very late in the game - not until the start of the 6th Season. After watching the final episode, the decision to buy the complete season DVDs was a no-brainer, and I have not been disappointed. The writing on this show is some of the smartest I've encountered in a long time. It has been interesting and highly entertaining to watch these characters evolve. (The 5th Season may be short, but the writing quality never wavers.) I'll watch one episode thinking I that can really relate to Charlotte, only to relate to Miranda, Carrie or (heaven forbid!) Samantha in the next. And it really isn't just about sex - or the city - but ultimately about the joy and heartbreak in all of life, such as the loss of a parent or dealing with an unexpected pregnancy.Of course, most of the funniest bits deal with the search for "the one" - something everyone can relate to. I think the decision to end after 6 seasons - and on a positive note for all characters - was a smart one. It may have taken Big six seasons to realize Carrie was "the one" but the journey made the result more worthwhile. (Here again, I must confess that prior to seeing the earlier seasons, I was not entirely convinced that Carrie and Big should live happily ever after. Mr. Big now gets my full endorsement!) I highly recommend this boxed set (instead of the watered down syndication version being contemplated on other cable channels), and have already pre-ordred Season Six, Part One. Those concerned with what they perceive to HBO price gouging should consider that an individual season on DVD still costs less than one month of cable service... And if, like me, the only reason you're watching HBO is SATC (and maybe The Sopranos) perhaps it's better just to cancel HBO and get the DVDs instead!

Summary: What a Hoot!
Review: I was tipped off to Sex and the City at the local theater, so I knew it had to be campy and fun! My friends and I love these DVD's! A little background... When Ru Paul ("Supermodel" song) hit the pop world in the mid 1990's, many were taken aback. A lot of people said, "They don't make transvestites like they used to." Well folks, there are four new drag queens on the block, and they mean business!!! Look out Tim Curry! Step aside Boy George! These sassy new trannies are to die for!!! And the stories are hilarious! "Carrie" goes undercover to find out more about women, so "she" can write stories for a magazine. In the process, "she" and her friends actually flirt with and meet men! We were on the edge of our seats, waiting to see if Mr. Big, Aidan, or that guy from Twin Peaks would be in for a big (or not so big :-) surprise!!! After their antics, the "ladies" meet at a diner to talk about men -- in an over the top, dirty way that women would never do! The four "ladies" discuss how far to go with their men without blowing their cover, or anything else!! The comedic tension is high(larious): If the "ladies" can maintain their secrecy, they have the best of both worlds. First, they can go out on the town like free men and speak their minds! (Since they're not real women, they don't have to cook, clean, and be quiet when a man is talking). Second, since they're "women", they get attention, free drinks, and are unaccountable for any crazy antics. All these ingredients form a combustible mixture of fun! Trying to keep up with these "ladies" reminds me of Lucy Ball (another great drag queen!) with the chocolates on the conveyer belt!!! In short, we loved this DVD set! Rocky Horror Show, move over! Sassy, Spry, Sprightly, Samantha... peace out!

Summary: Hilarious and real life as well...
Review: I've watched many of the episodes of Sex and The City since it's beginning. I realize it's the kind of show that people either love or hate. Being close to being a "middle-aged, unappealing, but wiser" woman, as one 20 year old boy in a previous review described it, I also know that, hey, there's a lot of real life here in this show, all tossed in amongst the Manolo Blahniks (kind of like the interest football holds for men, silly perhaps, but still a passion for many) and some of the wilder antics of someone like Samantha (isn't she the perfect feminine reflection of the supreme macho male?...what fun!). Let us remember that these ladies live in a very sophisticated city, New York (perhaps a little more up-to-date than even good old Baton Rouge can purport to be) and are basically just trying to be content, enjoy life, have some fabulous sex, and follow their own paths in order to be true to themselves and their histories. The fact that in the meantime these characters entertain us, remind us of our foibles and vulnerabilities, and pursue their own happiness no matter what anyone thinks seems to rankle quite a few men I know, and even a couple of rather uptight women. I can't help, then, but to respond to the boy from Baton Rouge, who I am sure considers himself very intelligent and may even be a high school graduate...after all, no average young man could have thought up the concept of calling the characters Cory, Corvette, Mirabel, and Semolina, not to mention Tom and Jerry. All I can say is, life leads you places you may never think, in your youthful arrogance, you would go, and I imagine that at 35 to 45, you may be a rather "middle-aged and unappealing", and may I say, bitter and unloved little old man in your own right. Now you are still young, and already you haven't got a stitch of tolerance or fun in you (that very thinly veiled angry imitation thereof aside). Imagine yourself twenty years from now...nowhere near as hopeful and brave as the girls from Sex and the City, in their "tottering old age" are, I'll bet. By the way, I'm 30, ancient by your standards, I'm sure, and happily single. From my viewpoint here on the path to being a crone, may I pass back to you some of my hard-earned wisdom...never be so absolutely smug about anything, because life loves giving you a kick in the chops, just to let you know who's boss. All that aside, I think this show is hilarious and gender-bending, and catches you when you aren't really paying attention with a real-life hook, and also, it's just great "don't have to think TOO hard fun". I'm in!

Summary: What a joker, :)
Review: Reading the review from Gordon Ehrensing had me cracking up so much I had to read the additional reviews this guy?? wrote on other products - and what do you know - it follows all the way through. Someone found an outlet for mischief, is sneaky about it and on top of it all there are people out there that find the reviews helpful. At least Gordon accomplished something. Congratulations - I hope you have just as much humor in real life. By the way, read his review on Sex and the City and give some attention to the names he used :) Other then that, I always enjoy the series. Hat off to Samantha, lets be truthful, isn't that what we all would love to do. No regrets and games!!!!!

Summary: This show is absolutely AMAZING
Review: There is not much more to say than that Sex and the City is the best show I have ever seen in my life. There is more to this show than sex, the most important part of it to me is the relationship the four girls have with one another, along with the relationships they have with their men. This show makes you laugh, cry, and experience every other possible emotion all in one episode. I cannot express the gratitude I have for the creators and actors who made this show possible. The thousands of other people who watch and love Sex and the City could go on and on with me about how incredible it is, but I will simply leave it at Sex and the City will always be the best.

Summary: The only DVD set you'll ever need!
Review: This past Christmas I treated myself and bought all five DVDs because I had to catch up. (Especially since the show was ending in February) I had to watch every single episode one by one and it didn't seem like a long time and I loved every single minute of it. So a lot of unanswered questions were answered. I'm very proud of my collection, I can't wait to receive season 6, part 1 in the mail and can't wait until season 6, part 2 come out. Plus the DVDs have audio commentaries from Michael Patrick King, the executive producer. That is one extra that I love to death. Because he explains so much in certain episodes. I wish he had done it for every single episode, but it probably would have cost a little more. So the SEX IN THE COLLECTION was worth evey dime.

Review: This show is absolutely amazing.. It's fun to sit with girlfriends and just watch. I look forward to it every Sunday night. I'm upset that it's going to be over soon. But it doesn't have to be if you buy the entire show on DVD. I'll be waiting for the season 6 episodes. They're rumored to come out May 18th, but that's just part one.. so :) the person two below.. what are you talking about? It doesn't teach anybody to buy $5000 bags..
