Rating: Summary: so cynical! Review: I think that the 5th season was very well done. Ok, so there wasn't as much sex, oh no! I was disapointed that there were only two discs, but they were very well done. The episodes were not always easy to watch, but they were very realistic and well done. Major props to HBO as always.
Rating: Summary: So Great! Review: I loved season 5 just as much as the last four, and I couldnt wait for it to come out on dvd so it could take it's place on the shelf with the other four. As for the shorter season people seem to be complaining about? Well you knew it was going to be shorter if you saw it on HBO. And if you did'nt then learn how to read the descriptions on items before you buy, it says right there 8 episodes. Im not complaining about the price, it's two discs, four hours, it's still comaprable to buying two full length pictures. So either buy it or dont, but people please learn how to read and stop complaining about the price and the length. The show is just as good as ever. Maybe even better!
Rating: Summary: What can I Say? It's Sex And The City! Review: If your a sex and the city fan then you'll love this season just as much as the others. A must have for a true fan? And for those of you who dont like it? Why after 5 years are you still watching?
Rating: Summary: Where's the Disk??? Review: Yes the viewing of this season was good but where are the other episodes?? I fell like I was just ripped off. I am not at all happy with this and would let everyone know it is not worth the price for 8 episodes.. You got me this time.
Rating: Summary: Agree with everyone else...HBO ripped us off! Review: I also thought that there was some mistake when I saw that there were only two discs, both which I had already rented. I figured that I was missing the other two and was actually prepared to return it to the store! What the hell is up with the price HBO?? Since I don't have HBO at home, I'm going to have to wait until the series is completely over to know what happened during the real second-half of Season 5.I love Sex and the City. I don't want it to end. But come on..the price on this season should have been reduced.
Rating: Summary: CraPpY Price, GREAT season! Review: DVD Price aside, this short season was just as entertaining as the prior four. The Girls still have the same chemestry as they did before, and WHO IN THIS WORLD can not recognize the fabulous scene when Samantha dresses in that *wig* and glasses to catch Richard cheating!!!???? Amazing. Not to mention the laughable and hilarious pillow-case-dress SJP was wearing at the wedding in the last episode! I enjoyed every episode of this season. As with every episode of SITC, when one storyline fails another brilliant one rises up to take its place. And for those of you contemplating this purchase, remember that when you're reading the reviews on here, you've got to find objectivity and separate the poor reviews of the price of the DVD's versus the reviews of the season itself. I would recommend this season in a heartbeat.
Rating: Summary: RIP OFF ! Review: I bought this for my wife for Christmas. She already has the other 4 seasons. I thought there was a mistake with the DVD since there were only 2 discs. I would NEVER have bought this if I had known I was only getting half a season for full price. 8 shows for $35? That is only 4 hours of material. HBO should be ashamed of themselves! I'm not a big fan of the show but I have seen all the other seasons and thought they were OK. I can't even get through the first disc on season 5.
Rating: Summary: A Very Pricey "City"... Review: I had to buy the Fifth Season to keep up with my SNTC collection. But one thing I'd forgotten about was how short the Fifth Season was. So there I went to the store and after opening the DVD (can't return it now!), I remembered too late that the show was half it's usual length. That's when I realized I'd been seriously ripped off--half the show for double the price?! Too bad I own this now and too bad HBO didn't think to bring the price down to match. Here's a tip for those who haven't bought the Fifth Season yet: if you or a friend have an annual membership to one of those bulk-purchase warehouse stores (in the US--they're everywhere), you can buy one of the other SNTC season DVD's (if you're missing one) and get money off of this one in-store. It's not the BEST deal, but it's better than how I made out. As for the entertainment value of this season itself...well, it surely wasn't one of the best but it was a good couple of hours (8 episodes only-unbelievable) of semi-entertainment in a semi-SNTC fashion. Can't win 'em all, I guess.
Rating: Summary: Way too short for such a great show! Review: I am absolutely in LOVE with this show. I don't have HBO so I wait for the DVDs to come out to watch them for the first time. So, you can imagine my utter disappointment when Season Five was only EIGHT episodes! For the price that my husband paid to get it for me as a Christmas gift...not worth the money spent! It slightly fed my addiction, although it left me longing for so much more. And I can't believe there is only one more season to go. I gave Sex and the City Season Five only three stars: five stars for the fabulous eight episodes, but one star for only having eight. I am REALLY going to miss these gals.
Rating: Summary: It's too short Review: My favorite show was a bit choppy this season. Although I totally enjoyed the episodes, I just can't pay the same price for this season as i did for the other seasons. Can't believe HBO didn't take this into consideration when they were pricing it. 8 half hour shows. That's it. Unless the price comes down, or the package deal is really attractive for all of the seasons, Season 5 will be missing from my collection. Sad, because I liked it.
