Summary: A bad show gets even worse.
Review: Maybe it's because I'm a sensitive guy who tries to avoid harpies like the ones on this show. Maybe it's because I've met more than my share of heinous men and women who behave like these four empty-headed fools, living meaningless lives and flitting from tryst to tryst as if life means being as materialistic, shallow, and cloying as you can be. Whatever the reason, this show illustrates quite well precisely what is wrong with our culture. Although it is dressed as a "comedy," it's quite easy to see that they producers of this show are holding up these four women as ideals, as role models. Yet, they live lives that are strikingly similar to the stereotypical, empty-headed, macho men we'd learned to avoid and decry. And their hideous personas make them ugly, even if on the outside some might find them attractive. (Frankly, I think it's impossible to see them as physically attractive after they've opened their mouths to spout their gibberish lines.)Can't we have a show about women of substance, women who value the meaningful and lasting, and not women who grow more and more decrepit each year looking for multiple orgasms, promotions at meaningless jobs, shallow "friendships," and dumb men? Come on!

Summary: Lower the price
Review: I love the show but the price is too high for this quarter of a season! Talk about taking advantage of the fans! The season is ok, not the greatest. Carrie hooks up with Big again (yawn) and Charlotte meets & romances her divorce lawyer is the funniest character to come along in ages. Miranda adjusts to being a new mom and Samantha is still reeling from her break-up with Richard. The season ends on a high note with Samantha single again, Charlotte in love, Miranda coping & Carrie finding a prospective new love.

Summary: Not worth the price.
Review: I own all four of the previous seasons, all of which I purchased for $30 or LESS, but as much as I love the show I won't be buying this season at retail. Hopefully the good people selling at eBay will be more realistic. Two discs for the price of four? HA, NO.

Summary: Extortion City
Review: Die-hard Sex and the City fans should be too sophisticated to succumb to this ridiculous price point for what cannot even be defined as a full season. I, like many of the viewers who have posted their own comments, am a completist, but rather than round out my collection of the previous four seasons with this so-called fifth one, due to the unfortunate manner in which HBO is trying to commit highway (or should I say Fifth Avenue) robbery here I am furious enough to consider auctioning off what DVDs I've already purchased. HBO should be ashamed. This really brings new meaning to the phrase (Home) Box Office Poision!

Summary: One of the best shows around
Review: Sex and the City is by far my favorite show. It is the story of four single ladies mainly on a quest for men. This is a show about love, sex, dating, friendships, cocktails and fashion. Mostly, I would consider it to be a comedy. For all you women out there and even men, I highly recommend this show. Although there is only eight episodes in this particular set, it is still worth it to see. However, I think that you should watch all other four seasons as well. Trust me, you will be hooked.

Summary: SATC has ran out of steam...
Review: The first four seasons of SATC were great...they were funny, well-written, and smartly acted. However in 6/02, in anticipation of the Fifth Season...I was expecting what I had seen in the 1st 2nd, 3rd, and 4th season...a great concept only heightened with all the above mentioned...but what I got was a light-hearted effort at best...there were very few funny moments and the writing wasn't up to par with the previous seasons. Admitingly I've only seen about threeor four episodes of the most recent and last season, and they seemed a little more entertaining...I'm anxious to see how the rest of season went...and goes. I love Sex and the City...I think its was the best thing on television in the 90's and the a great prelude into the new millennium...it was (and is) a cultural phenomenon that took the world by storm. I will be sad to see it go...these are my girls...they're are/were great! But if the season's would've contiuned to go downhill...then they should end it. A great series and the best comedy series HBO has put out to date...in my opinion. It's been a great six years.

Summary: Great show....not the greatest season.......
Review: I must say I am a huge fan of Sex and the City! I own all of the seasons so far. I was a bit disappointed to hear that Season 5, being as short as it is, was gonna be full price.
Honestly I thought season 5 wasn't all that great and the writers could have done more with it. But when it all comes down to it, I really love the show. To complete the collection....I guess Im just gonna have to buy it. Im gonna be so sad when it ends, and I want to be able to look back on the seasons and watch them in their entirety. If your not that big of a fan, then I guess its rather pointless to purchase this season. But for those of you who love the show and believe that the actors and actresses really deserve credit.....then buy it. I know Im going to.

Summary: Just for Sex and the City Fans
Review: I am going to buy it despite teh few episodes and the high price. HBO's dvds alwas been very expensive, they should lower the prices.
I just hope that they have the same price for season 6 next year, since season 6 has more than the usual 18 episodes is a way of even the price with this season. If they increased the price for seaon 6, will be very bad business for HBO.
Good season but let you wanting more...

Summary: The price is not right!
Review: I love this show. I will own this season because I eventually want the complete set. But this season is way overpriced for the number of episodes and that makes it deserve this rating of 1 star! Since the season was short (September 11, Sarah Jessica Parker pregnancy etc), I agree with others it would have been more cost-effective to release Season 5 along with the Season 6 set in one package.

Summary: Total garbage... in comparison with the previous 4 seasons
Review: SATC went downhill after the fourth season. I guess they ran out of original ideas or concepts. The fifth season was exceptionally lame.
