Summary: 8 episodes same price as 24
Review: Ok, the folks at HBO publishing are getting greedy. Season 5 was only 8 episodes. So in HBO's infinite wisdom they decided to charge us fans the same list price as a 24-episode season, with no extras worth mentioning. (However they do split it up onto 2 DVD's to make you think you're getting more for your money.)
While the shows are great I have to ding this season with 3 stars because of the blatant disregard for loyal consumers.
In season 5 we have Carrie being free and single, Miranda dealing with the baby and Steve, Samantha dealing with Richard, and Charlotte in life after Trey.
If you're a junky/collector I guess you'll end up purchasing it like me, otherwise send a message to HBO and just rent it.

Summary: Better Than You Remember
Review: I read the reviews here, and felt the same way -- Season five was the shortest, most disappointing season of them all. And the same price for just two discs! Oy! But then I bought it, and started watching, certain I could breeze through these as a refresher before the last eight episodes of season six. Much to my surprise, I found myself watching each episode a couple of times. These eight episodes, more than any other, humanized the four women. Lonely, frustrated, and determined, the four main characters put out some of the funniest and most touching moments in the show's history. I almost forgive them for season five being so short!

Summary: worth it all the way
Review: Okay, let me start by saying, you all knew there would only be 8 episodes in this season! It says so in the description! So, you should have known what you were getting into even before they were released! Okay, that being said, SATC is a great show, and I love it even more now that I am living outside the country and don't have HBO. SATC has been a taste of home and continues to be my favorite way to pass the time!

Summary: SATC 5
Review: While I am a diehard SATC fan, and of course had to buy this set to complete my collection, I must admit that the pricing on Season 5 is too much for what you get. We were ripped off already with a short season and there is no reason for HBO to have priced it so that we are ripped off again. The extras were disappointing since the description for the dvd set had me expecting more of them. Overall I would have to say that if you are a diehard fan, this is a must have to complete your collection. If you are on the fence, wait for Season 6 to come out which will be well worth your money.

Summary: I too am mad...
Review: Only 8 episodes?? Previous box sets have had 16 or so in them. If you really want to watch this - rent it at Blockbuster - don't waste your $ on purchasing it.

Summary: painful but true, not good ...
Review: It pains me to say this because I am such a fan of the show, but at some point you have to face the facts, and the facts are that SATC is just going downhill. I write the review after having seen the season premier of the last season last night on HBO (another 8 episode DVD coming up) and because I've followed the show so closely from day one and seen each episode numerous times, I have to say the acting is going downhill as well, not just the stories. I find myself now just watching it for the sake of seeing the episodes, not like before (especially season 4) where I was anticipating the upcoming episode to see what happened with the SATC girls.But as every show, it must come to an end, I think it was dragged on too much and hense the bad episodes which seem to be pointless at times, after all how many different types of men can they bag on? I must agree with the other reviewers in saying that I'm waiting for a price drop or a better offer to buy the this seaon, I have all DVD's and usually am the first to buy them but this time dishing out $30 for 8 episodes which I won't even be enjoying over and over again seems a waste. Too bad, the directors and writers should have ended this great show with a bigger bang, not by disappointing it's fans ...

Summary: Too much ado on the price......
Review: I'll have to admit that I was also surprised by the cost, however, I put that aside. I am a very big S&TC fan and have been from the beginning. I did not let the cost stop me from purchasing this. It's a welcome addition to my now full collection (until of course the last season comes). I enjoyed my 4 plus hours viewing this disc. It also comes with a Trivia Game for your S&TC buffs along with a segment on the "costuming" of these wonderful characters.....for all others who seem to scoff at the price alone, well that's a shame.

Summary: Too Expensive
Review: I love the show but season five was not worth the forty dollars I paid for it. It should have been cheaper since we are only getting 8 episodes. I bought season five so that I would have a complete collectin.

Summary: yea its a rip
Review: I really didnt enjoy this season... and I want to buy it.. probably used in the long run just to have in my collection, but for now, I trust my faithful downloading softwear to keep money in my pocket and my mind pseudo-entertained. Thanks for sharing.

Summary: Not me
Review: I love the series but I will do without these 8 episodes. I refuse to pay the same amount for 8 episodes that I pay for a full season. NO WAY!
