Summary: Manolos are better priced!
Review: I'm a fan of this series, and I have the DVDs of all previous seaons. Yet I cannot fathom why Season 5, with so few episodes, is priced as much as the longer seasons. And I thought the price of Manolo Blahniks was inflated....

Summary: The Weakest of the Series
Review: Of the 6 seasons, this one has to be the weakest. After the amazing fourth season, this one seemed to be treading water. That's not to say it didn't have it's moments. Charlotte's storyline regarding the Jewish attorney was hilarious. Miranda's motherhood was explored realistically. However, Carrie and Samantha stories seemed to be repetitive.I did like Carrie having to do a book signing with that "alien" dog a highlight. I wished there was more of Amy Sedaris. She should have been a bigger character. Maybe if the season had been longer there would have been more time to flesh out the stories. Understandably, Sarah Jessica Parker's pregnancy had something to do with it. Overall, I enjoy this show over most on regular television. However,this DVD should not cost as much as it does for only 2 discs and 8 episodes.I don't believe the quality alone justifies the price.

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Review: This DVD only has 8 episodes on it (from what I've read) and is still being sold at the regular price!!! I've been such a devoted fan and own all previous seasons...I feel like I'm being ripped off! I think I'll wait until it's in the bargain bin...from what I've heard there'll be plenty of copies.

Summary: SATC is the best series ever
Review: And my boyfriend is buying this DVD for me as soon as it comes out, though I will tell him to buy it online where the price is cheaper. First of all, one person said that the other seasons were entitled to be priced so high because they all had 18 episodes -- but that person clearly has no idea what they're talking about because the first season, priced exactly the same as the rest, had 12 episodes, but no one complained then. If you love the series, and were willing to pay for season one, then there is no reason not to buy season five. Soon SATC will be over forever, and you will have all your favorite episodes to look back on... and with characters who grow and change from season to season, how can you skip one? It doesn't work.

Summary: Wait for season six
Review: This is a great show, and season six has been fantastic, but season five was just not up to par. The two stars I gave it are for 1)Charlotte's affair with Harry and 2)the last episode (the wedding in the Hamptons.) Those were the only highlights!

Rating:
Summary: Absurd price for only two discs
Review: The price on this set, even with the amazon discount, is simply absurd and an insult to the fans of this series. The episodes themselves are not bad whatsoever; in fact this season had some excellent moments, but there is no reason why it should have been released at any rate above $30.00. Like all the reviewers below, I will not be getting this season even if it causes my collection to be incomplete.

Summary: PRICE DOESN'T MATTER!!!
Review: Um, excuse me, we are supposed to be reviewing the product itself, not how much it costs!!! I am a HUGE fan of the show, and I think that Season 5 was one of the best. A short season doesn't have to equal a bad season. It seems that many of you are confusing quality with quantity. Shame on you!
I heartily recommend this product to everyone. It is worth the money!!!

Summary: A Product Has Many Sides
Review: Reviewing a DVD means reviewing all of its product details: the quality, the content, the PRICE included. With "price" mentioned, let me just say that this is one expensive DVD set for what you're getting. Had the fifth season been 18 episodes like all of its predecessing seasons, then dropping 50 dollars for this package would be as simple as before. But you can count 'em right here: 8 episodes. Logically, you would expect that since we barely got 1/2 of a regular season we should only pay for about 1/2 of the regular season DVD price but apparently, that's not how the tides turned. Understandably, capitalistic interests got in the way of this negotiation but c'mon, the fifth season wasn't even that good to begin with! To SATC fans looking to purchase this DVD, don't think I am trying to discourage your buy (it's your money!) but just remember to weigh in all the details of a product; particularly the price of this one.

Summary: Don't buy now!
Review: HBO is trying to make a buck off all the suckers who will pay full price for a half season, and the most uninspired, filler season at that. I'm sure they will combine season 5 and 6 and offer that as a package next year, so save your $$$$ and buy shoes instead!

Summary: Good but...
Review: Still as good as always, but I just can't believe there are only 2 discs!!! Very short season... not sure if it's worth the money... really disappointed!
