Before the sixth season started in the summer of 2003, a bombshell hit: it was announced that this would be the finale. Fans, just getting over the truncated fifth season (due to half the cast getting pregnant), were beside themselves. But it would be a long season, and these 12 episodes plant the seeds for the final 8 airing the following winter. These dozen episodes illustrate the maturity of the show: there's not a bad one in the bunch, with things like old flames Mr. Big (Chris Noth), and Steve (David Eigenberg) popping in with deeper resiliency. And the show is still flat-out funny. Berger is the most intrinsically humorous of Carrie's beaus (his introduction to Prada is a classic), Jarrod's earnest streak on Samantha gets her flabbergasted in the giddiest ways, and Charlotte's attempt to convert to Judaism is right in character. The touchstone episode is "A Woman's Right to Shoes," in which Carrie loses her prized and expensive Manolo Blahniks at a party. The comedy blends serious points of how we perceive singles, couples, and parents (and the gifts we lavish on the latter two). Carrie's method of celebrating her singlehood is just another gem in this treasure of a series. --Doug Thomas

My favorite episode in this set is "A Woman's Right to Shoes". Just before the show aired, I received criticism from someone regarding how much I spend on my clothes and shoes. I actually felt shamed for shopping where I like to shop, even though no children were neglected due to my spending habits! When "A Woman's Right to Shoes" aired, I felt completely vindicated. I was able to watch a repeat of my favorite episode again last night, and I feel so empowered, I may just go buy a new outfit today!

Thank God for Sex!

I just want to state that I am one of the biggest sex and the city fans you'll meet, but I cannot believe that HBO is splitting season 6 up just so that they can charge us twice as much! I haven't even gotten myself to buy season 5 yet, and I'll probably hold off on buying this one as well. Yes, this is one of the best shows that has ever been on television, but considering the dvds have absolutely no special features and HBO is going to be showing every episode again in the upcoming months, I think I'll probably just be taping the episodes and saving myself $65.


The Best Show On Television   July 22, 2003

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.
