Summary: I hope the price is a typo....
Review: First off - my wife and I love the series. DVD's for seasons 1-4 are right there at the top of the comedy list for weekend marathons.

Season 5 - cut short for biological reasons...on DVD - a good thing. But not at the same price for 8 episodes as for a complete season. I sincerely hope seasons 5 & 6 are a combined release...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good show already in steep decline
Review: Sex in the City always has it's funny and interesting moments, but by season 5 it was running a little dry. The situations the characters got in were progeressively stupider and stupider and some of the humor was far too crude to fit the tone. However, it was still worth watching, though I wouldn't buy this season unless I was a huge fan.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Season cut short
Review: Since season 5 was cut short due to Sarah Jessica Parker's pregancy, I think they should combine season 5 and 6 for one price instead of charging the same thing for only 8 episodes. I adore Sex and the City and will miss it dearly. At least I have my DVDs to watch over and over. I love my "girls of summer"!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Show on Television
Review: Okay, let's start off with just saying that I started watching Sex and the City during it's fourth season. After I saw a few episodes, I went to Best Buy and bought The Complete First & Second Seasons of Sex and the City.

My eyes were glued to the tv. Side-splitting humor combined with four sexy women and I say you have a winner. One episode after another after another. It never gets old. This show really explores sexuality and what women think about it. I find this show very informative yet funny. Sometimes, I even forget I'm watching a show. I feel like I'm in NYC, with the ladies, talking about sex.

When The Complete Third Season came out on DVD, I bought it the first day it was for sale. Still great sexual humor. I couldn't get enough of it. But in the third season, the show started showing a more dramatic side of the characters. Not that I'm saying its bad, I just like it when you can have humor with information, with drama. And not too much drama, just enough.

As I was watching The Complete Fourth Season, I began to realize, I'm starting to connect with these characters. Thats amazing!

I highly anticipate the fifth and sixth seasons on DVD. The fifth season was short but sassy and comedic. Although I have only seen the first 5 episodes of the sixth and final season, I'm sure it'll be just as good or even better then the last 5 seasons. Though it will be sad to see the ladies go, I'm hoping they'll make a Sex and the City movie, or something to keep us SATC fans going.

So if you're out there...contemplating whether or not you should buy any of the show's DVDs, don't think twice about it, order them NOW. I recommend you order all so you can get the full "dose" of the show. So please, order the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons of this wonderful and fabulous show.

Summary: 5th was not a charm
Review: Like most people here i have been a fan since they first began, but yes, the 5th season was not one of there best, but i can undertsand why, the writers on the show had most of the season writen out when both Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon annonced they were pregnent, so the cast had to take a 3 week break during filming so that the writers can re-write all the episodes, and because Sarah's belly was growing, the writers had to cut the season short. so they had to move through the story lines very fast and it was a mess.

Even though the 5th season was not all that great, it was a good chance to introduce new members to the cast. The Sixth season has began, they are now on the forth episode and they are great, I do feel they are going to go out with a bang this final season.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fifth season sorrows
Review: I absolutely love Sex and the City. I have been a fan from the very beginning and was really shocked and disappointed by the fifth season. We are talking about 8 episodes, all of which seem to be grasping at straws. An example? In one episode, Miranda has become so self conscitious about her baby weight that she joins weight watchers. While there she meets a man who himself is fighting the battle of the bulge. The do become romantically involved. During a particularly randy romp Miranda notices that the guy has gotten "love juice" all over his face. Miranda knew the guy was a sloppy eater but this was ridiculous. She basically found him repulsive. From my point of view, that whole episode was tasteless and crude. Im sorry Darren Starr hasnt been able to get the girls in better situations. I am looking forward to the show's end, its basically time for it. Nobody can live as wide open as these girls forever. I just hope they bring back Chris Noth.
Season 4 was by far the best of all 5 seasons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every season is better.
Review: This four girls are simply fantastic and I can't really understand how can this year they're going to film the last season. I heard the reason is because Sarah Jessica Parker wants to have another baby and she wants to spend more time with her children. I'm happy for her but she could do both things as other artists do. HBO should make at least a Sex and the city movie.

The fifth season has a different direction because the girls had grown and they live different experiences like Miranda that now has a son, Charlotte is getting divorce from Tray, Samantha felt in love for the second time in the series and she forgives her parter after that she discovers that he had cheated on her and finnaly Carrie, Carrie now is alone and she gets the change to write a book about her column.
The fifth season has only 8 episodes but they're are fuuny and intresting as always.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sex and the City meets the average girl
Review: As a devotee of Sex and the City, I never wanted to admit that anything was wrong with the show... until I saw Season 5. A lot of people will say that Season 5 is what's wrong with SATC, but I say that Season 5 is what's RIGHT about the show! Season 5 is the most realistic of all six seasons. Playfully dubbed "the season without men" by the show's writers, there are very few long-term (or short-term, for that matter) relationships for the women in this season. Until Season 5, the women of SATC have gone through a seemingly endless string of semi-serious to serious relationships without any real examination of what and who the women are without men. This season forces all of the women to show their true colors without men. Even Samantha's antics are toned down and used more to expose who she is rather than what she does.

Many fans complained that Season 5 wasn't funny enough. Not enough men, not enough sex. Real single women know that Season 5 was the closest of all the seasons to what all of us experience in our daily lives - loneliness, good friends, occasional romantic connections, and a lot of "in between". Season 5 isn't "filler" or a poor season - its real life. Fans of the show who don't enjoy this season are, perhaps, happy to forget about their own lives while following those of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha. I prefer to think of the women of SATC as myself and my friends - and Season 5 proves that they are.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too expensive!!!!!!!
Review: I am not rating this season low because of content--the content was excellent--and I realize that the pregnancies of Sarah Jessica and Cynthia are unavoidable...but come on! Don't charge us all the same price for less than half of the normal number of episodes!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review on SATC--the MATERIAL--free of whining about $$
Review: I really like Sex in the City. I feel sad that no one has even TRIED to duplicate it--I know full duplication can't be done but since it's leaving I would even have settled for some decent knockoffs of the show (laughter). In no other show/film have sex and relationships from the point of view of women been explored this frankly--it will probably never happen again-at least not in my lifetime. I am in the middle of watching the fifth season. I'm enjoying it. We have all watched these four women for four years now. Are they supposed to remain unchanged in any way for that long? Shouldn't they have different changes and challenges in their lives? I will admit that the fifth season did not come as close to perfection as the others did. (Has your work been almost perfect consistently everyday in everyway 365 days a year for 4 straight years? Mine hasn't-it's called being human.) Season Four in my opinion is still an essential for anyone who really connects with this one-of-kind series. Being that I respect the brave work of this ground-breaking show and because this format is supposed to review the material and the work--(...) Also don't you find it amazing the things people put their passion and rage behind? Homeless mothers who need health care for their children express this level of passionate anger about overpriced prescription drugs-however a person ranting about the cost of a HBO sitcom on DVD-and going on and on like some of these people have here?? I tend to wave that off as "You have some serious issues and buying SATC is probably the least of your problems" Some reviews can be dismissed right away like the ones from misogynists who obviously just hate to see independent women having fun and enjoying sex/relationships/career in the free-wheeling way men always have. They secretly want all women to be like Afghan women were under the Taliban. (...). (...)

We can be so hard on celebs. We love them yet we hate then and we are ultra critical of them. Lastly, I again want to remind you, dear reader, to consider the source and look up any info you can find on a reviewer and weigh that against whatever they write. Also take totally anonymous reviews with a big grain of salt. And again...I enjoyed the fourth season of Sex In The City even with it imperfections!
