Very Disappointing.......2007-09-10
I saw part of the PBS broadcast and I ordered this DVD even though I had to wait several weeks for it. I was very disappointed. I enjoy watching and lisenting to Andre and his orchestra, not watching them take a back seat to the performers, soloists, etc. They (the singers and choirs)are all very talented, but I wanted to see and experience Andre. I have several of his earlier DVD's that do not rely on outside talents, and I enjoy them so much more. Andre, go back to your roots!
Andre Rieu in New York 2006.......2007-09-10
I have almost everything Andre Rieu has and this was just passable. The Harlem folks are the ones that messed it up. Their music has no business being with Andre Rieu, who has class. I bought the DVD and am happy that I can just jump to the next track to avoid the Harlem music (if that is what you call music). Would I buy it again, well yes, but still with the opportunity to jump past some of the tracks. And Andre seemed to be "out of place here" and I think he was glad it was over. And there was only one song played by the little boy, disappointing.
Andre Rieu is always a good show!.......2007-08-13
I don't know how Clayton G. Anderson's panties got in such a twist! (The one star review!) I have to whole heartedly DISagree with his review! If you are an Andre Rieu fan, this DVD is another excellent showing by Mr. Rieu. What Clayton must not understand is how Andre loves not only beautiful music but also bringing it to the masses! To me the real show is seeing how much he enjoys bringing entertainment to his audiences!
I am an upbeat kind of person. I enjoy watching people have a good time. When you watch this DVD enjoy how much, not only the audience or Andre, but his orchestra enjoys the evening.
This is another beautiful show. I have all of them and enjoy them over and over again! (I really love Carla! LMAO)
Andre Rieu, The Music Man.......2007-08-11
Taped in July 2006 at the Radio City Music Hall, this exuberant concert starts with a grand entrance set to "76 Trombones." The glittering show is occasionally interspersed with wonderful scenes of New York in Summer, with its amazing diversity and energy, and the "Godfather Theme" includes some sunny footage from Italy. The superb musicianship of Rieu (who now plays a 1732 Stradivarius), along with his unique and terrific Johann Strauss Orchestra and Chorus, always keep a light heart and a touch of humor while they perform pop and classical favorites. Guest artists are the Harlem Gospel Choir and 5 year old child prodigy Akim Camara.
The old time razzle dazzle aura of the Radio City Music Hall is a perfect setting for Rieu, who has perfected the fine art of schmaltz down to the last note, and never fails to delight us with his entertaining offerings. The concert includes the following numbers:
"76 Trombones"
With Akim Camara: "Dance of the Fairies"
With the Harlem Gospel Choir: "Amen," "I Will Follow Him," "Nun's Choir," "Oh Happy Day," "When the Saints Go Marching In"
"The Life of the Artist"
"Blaze Away"
"My Way"
"Godfather Theme"
"Singing in the Rain"
"The Washington Post"
"Music of the Night"
"Don't Cry for Me Argentina"
"Hallelujah Chorus"
"Radetzki March"
"A Bright Young Man"
"America the Beautiful"
We Were There!!!!.......2007-08-09
Having had the opportunity to be in the audience of this performance, I know exactly what to expect from this DVD. My family and I will enjoy watching this concert and will be able to recall all of the excitement and fun of an an extremely memorable evening at Radio City Music Hall with Andre Rieu!

With these eight episodes, HBO's grand sitcom concluded, leaving untold numbers of women--and many men--feeling deprived. The six-year series certainly did not outlast its welcome; the final season is some of the best TV had to offer in 2004. In many ways, the eight episodes served as a single finale, with all four characters approaching a kind of destiny and happiness, the theme of this last half-season (which aired weeks after the first half). Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) continues her romance with Russian artist (Mikhail Baryshnikov), a flippantly arrogant man who's been around the block, but able to supply Carrie's needed desire for magic. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) has settled down with Steve (David Eigenberg), but there is more that will change with her, including her address. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) continues to make baby plans now that the husband slot is filled quite nicely (Evan Handler). Samantha (Kim Cattrall) brings a good sense of drama to the show with a breast-cancer scare.
Going down the final stretch--and Samantha's cancer--gives the series a more serious tone, but there's always a jab to tickle the funny bone: Miranda's awkwardness with happiness, Charlotte's latest passion, Carrie typing someplace new, and Samantha getting into Paris Hilton territory. Like any series winding down, there is a wedding, a baby, old faces popping up, and some star-ladened new ones (like creative consultant Julia Sweeney as a nun). In the final two-part episode, "An American in Paris," Carrie faces her romantic destiny, but also solidifies herself as a fashion icon, an Audrey Hepburn for 21st-century television. In the penultimate episode, she asks her friends an emotional question: "What if I never met you?" Certainly fans can ask of themselves the same question and reminisce how much better TV became since they first tuned in these four women of the City.
For the last of the DVD sets, the folks behind SATC give their fans a few more DVD extras. As we find out in the near-hourlong 2004 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival Seminar (with executive producer Michael Patrick King, Sarah Jessica Parker, and the writing team), the alternate endings seen here were false leads to throw off the press. Thank goodness--what fan would want one of these endings? More enjoyable is the 11 minutes of deleted scenes from the run of the show. King's expert touches on the commentary are fun to listen to, if a lovefest. And speaking of love, the two farewell tributes are filled with reminiscences and favorite clips, all done with a beautiful fondness for this series. --Doug Thomas

Love Happy Endings.......2007-09-12
I have wanted this particular set of episodes since the series ended. The additional features and expanded content are great. Glad that I finally made this purchase.
Oh great irony!!!.......2007-05-31
After making me watch Sex and the City with her, my wife astutely observed that at the heart of this show is a great irony. Touted as a "breakout show" lauding feminism and female empowerment, Sex and the City ironically only managed to portray women as more shallow, superficial, petty and empty-headed than virtually any other television show in history (thank creator Darren Star). Far from challenging whatever backward notions might remain that women are not men's equals, all watching this show would actually do is effectively confirm everything about women that misogynistic chauvinists unfoundedly believe, especially but not limited to the beliefs that women are silly, adolescent, juvenile and totally unencumbered by any burdens of logic, adulthood or maturity. Great progress.
Tiring quickly of Carrie Bradshaw's infantile and meaningless ponderings--"Is New York all about change?" "Are new myths required for singles?" "Is life in Manhattan like a bagel with cream cheese?" Here's one: "Is life really all about perpetually asking meaninglessly vacuous questions and then posing witty but ultimately arbitrary responses?"--one is left to wonder what exactly happened to her in childhood that so effectively stunted her emotional development, seemingly forever cementing her personality at about a sixteen/seventeen-year old emotional age. Are we supposed to pity her that "Big" treats her like a little kid, regardless of the fact that she disturbingly acts like an unbalanced little child? I would say no, especially in light of the fact that in real life "Big" and Carrie would probably not be together in the first place.
Another of the show's many absurdities is the foursome of friends that comprise its main characters. Let's face it folks, unless these girls grew up together (and in the show they didn't), these four women would NOT be friends in real life. They would hate each other.
Great.......2007-05-12
Wonderful DVD. Really good series. A superb acting cast with very real life issues sometimes with an added twist.
This series ended just in time, before cancellation.......2007-04-26
There are only so many men in New York, half being gay, that can be slept with, even for Samantha, who's insides must be made of old shoe leather, so it was fitting that this series died quickly instead of being dragged to death for another year. This was a comedy, although some say the truth is often said in jest, that really showed how truly stupid women are. No wonder men rule the world. Enjoy!
the grand finale.......2007-04-09
In this final set of episodes from the sixth season of SEX AND THE CITY, Carrie and the girls finally grow up, with stories that give a satisfying closure to the complete series. Serious issues, like Samantha's cancer battle, Miranda's move to the suburbs, Charlotte and Harry's quest to adopt a baby; and the Carrie/Big romance are addressed. Fans can settle back and say a final farewell to the ultimate New York glamour girls.
"Let There Be Light" - Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aleksandr (Mikhail Baryshnikov) continue their romance, but is she just another byte on his Google listing? Miranda's ex-boyfriend Robert (Blair Underwood) makes his feelings for her loud and clear, and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) toys with the idea of becoming a blind aid. Will Samantha destroy her relationship with Smith for another chance with Richard? Guest-starring Jason Lewis and James Remar.
"The Ick Factor" - Have we become romance-intolerant? Carrie balks at Aleksandr's idea of soft romance; whilst Steve (David Eigenberg) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) make their love official. Following a gourmet seven-course meal, Charlotte and Harry (Evan Handler) stay up all night with "cordon blues". Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is diagnosed with breast cancer.
"Catch-38" - Why are we should-ing all over ourselves? Carrie contemplates babies with a man who has already been there and done that. Miranda attempts to cope on a honeymoon without television, computers and cell-phones. Samantha goes on a quest to find the best "hot woman doctor".
"Out of the Frying Pan" - Denial...friend or foe? Samantha's cancer battle finally hits home when her hair starts falling out. Miranda decides the best thing for her growing family is a move to Brooklyn; and Charlotte and Harry receive a new addition to their family...a Cavalier King Charles spaniel called Elizabeth Taylor. Guest-starring Dana Ivey and Jonathan Hadary.
"The Cold War" - Carrie and Aleksandr's relationship turns frosty when their cultures clash over friends. In a bid to extend Smith's popularity, Samantha starts spreading gay rumours, only for the whole of New York to brand her a "fag hag".
"Splat!" - Are we too quick to question? Aleksandr wants Carrie to live in Paris with him, an idea that doesn't sit well with Miranda. Meanwhile Carrie gets the uncomfortable job of setting up her former boss Enid on a blind date; and one of New York's most notorious playgirls gets the ultimate comeuppance. Guest-starring Candice Bergen, Wallace Shawn and Kristen Johnston.
"An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)" - Carrie packs up her collection of Manolos and leaves New York behind for a new beginning with Aleksandr. But will the City of Lights welcome our heroine?
"An American Girl in Paris (Part Deux)" - And, in the end...

Now you can achieve multiple viewings of the best Sex on TV. Winner of Golden Globes for Best TV Series and Best Actress, Sex and the City is based on Candace Bushnell's provocative bestselling book. Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Carrie Bradshaw, a self-described "sexual anthropologist," who writes "Sex and the City," a newspaper column that chronicles the state of sexual affairs of Manhattanites in this "age of un-innocence." Her "posse," including nice girl Charlotte (Kristin Davis), hard-edged Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and party girl Samantha (Kim Cattrall)--not to mention her own tumultuous love life--gives Carrie plenty of column fodder. Over the course of the first season's 12 episodes, the most prominent dramatic arc concerns Carrie, who goes from turning the tables on "toxic bachelors" by having "sex like a man" to wanting to join the ranks of "the monogamists" with the elusive Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Meanwhile, Miranda, Cynthia, and Samantha have their own dating woes, few of which can be described on a family Web site. Seinfeld has nothing on Sex and the City when it comes to shallow, self-absorbed characters or coining catch phrases. Episode 2, for example, introduces the term "modelizer": a guy who is obsessed with and will only date models. Some may accuse this series of male bashing. But women, after years of enduring shows with "men behaving badly," will relish the equal time. Some may blanch at the ladies' graphic language and ribald humor, or dismiss some of the situations as unrealistic (Carrie doesn't bat an eye when she discovers that an artist friend surreptitiously videotapes his sexual conquests). Still others will view Sex and the City as documentary. Regardless of your view, this groundbreaking series will have you longing for more. --Donald Liebenson

Good pilot series which introduces you to the characters in the show. I would recommend Season 1 to anyone who's heard so much about this series but have not seen it to-date.
Love watching re-runs!.......2007-07-09
Every night I watch re-runs of "Sex and The City." I love this show it's so unique and original. Sarah Jessica Parker is ah-mazing! I also saw her in "Failure to launch" and she was amazing in that too. She is so talented! If you love "Sex And The City" you need to buy this dvd right away!

After a long wait--like the entire fifth season--Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) is dating again. The sixth season of the popular HBO show starts with Carrie and her sparkly new potential, Berger (Ron Livingston), trying to leave past relationships and hit it off. The results are mixed (up to Berger's memorable exit), but the good news is Carrie is at it again, and a new love interest can be found in the member of a wedding party, an old high school flame (David Duchovny), or an über-famous painter (Mikhail Baryshnikov). As Carrie plays the field, her friends seem to be settling down, relatively speaking. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) decides that her affair with TiVo cannot compete when Mr. Perfect (Blair Underwood, at his most charming) moves into her building. Charlotte's (Kristin Davis) feelings for her "opposites attract" boyfriend (Evan Handler, perhaps fans' most-loved boyfriend) deepen, but they still have a few things to iron out. Most surprising is Samantha's (Kim Cattrall) hot relationship with waiter-actor-stud Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis) taking on something resembling love, despite Samantha's best intentions.
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

Add a Play All Feature for crying out loud!!.......2007-08-01
Great season, although i am a little disappointed that the sixth season was divided into a part 1 and 2 (a decision that benefits the producers of the product as i am sure they know that we just cant get enough of the girls and will pay for both a part 1 and part 2). The only complaint that I have with all of the series releases is that there is no play all option in which the dvd will play all episodes at viewers request (this feature is good if you want to let the series play as fall asleep, soak in the bath tub... and or do what ever it is that you want to do w/o having to select an episode each time.

Great .......2007-03-08
I love, love, love Season 6. We finally see Steve and Miranda get together and Charlotte and Harry get married. Samantha is beginning to show a real heart. It's almost exactly what you want.
The only thing I really didn't want was the character of Alexander Petrovsky. He just isn't for Carrie. It's clear from the second they meet that they aren't lasting and it seems difficult to believe that after all Carrie's been through with Big, Aiden, and Berger (the 3 biggies), that she'd know it would never go anywhere with Petrovsky.
But I digress. It's a lovely, lovely, season with very heartfelt moments. Buy it now!
Great show, Questionable Marketing.......2007-01-09
The show is great, if you're thinking about buying this you already own the other seasons probably and know this. HBO, come on... you split the last season into two small sections and charged full price to squeeze every last penny you could out of your loyal customers. I went ahead and bought this for my wife because she loves the show but I'm done with HBO for the mean time. They just did the same thing with the Soprano's which is $80 a pop... I'm not going to purchase those seasons and I'm going to eBay what I own of theirs.
So glad.......2006-11-10
I had bought the entire set of Sex and the City seasons and for some reason season six part 2 disc two was part 1 disc two!! I had two of the same discs. Thanks goodness Amazon helped me out by sending me season 6 park 1 for free!!!I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Sex and the City is based on Candace Bushnell's provocative bestselling book. Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Carrie Bradshaw, a self-described "sexual anthropologist," who writes "Sex and the City," a newspaper column that chronicles the state of sexual affairs of Manhattanites in this "age of un-innocence." Her "posse," including nice girl Charlotte (Kristin Davis), hard-edged Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and party girl Samantha (Kim Cattrall)--not to mention her own tumultuous love life--gives Carrie plenty of column fodder. Over the course of the first season's 12 episodes, the most prominent dramatic arc concerns Carrie, who goes from turning the tables on "toxic bachelors" by having "sex like a man" to wanting to join the ranks of "the monogamists" with the elusive Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Meanwhile, Miranda, Cynthia, and Samantha have their own dating woes.
The second season builds on the foundation of the first season with plot arcs that are both hilarious and heartfelt, taking the show from breakout hit to true pop-culture phenomenon. Relationship epiphanies coexist happily alongside farcical plots and zingy one-liners, resulting in emotionally satisfying episodes that feature the sharp kind of character-defining dialogue that seems to have disappeared from the rest of TV long ago. When last we left the NYC gals, Carrie had just broken up with a commitment-phobic Mr. Big (Chris Noth), but fans of Noth's seductive-yet-distant rake didn't have to wait long until he was back in the picture, as he and Carrie tried to make another go of it. Their relationship evolution, from reunion to second breakup, provides the core of the second season. Among other adventures, Charlotte puzzles over whether one of her beaus was "gay-straight" or "straight-gay"; Miranda tries to date a guy who insists on having sex only in places where they might get caught; and Samantha copes with dates who range from, um, not big enough to far too big--with numerous stops in between.
The third season was the charm, as the series earned its first Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series to go along with its Golden Globes for Best Comedy Series and Best Actress (Parker). One of this season's two principal story arcs concerned hapless-in-love Charlotte and her pursuit of a husband; enter (if only...) Kyle McLachlan as the unfortunately impotent Trey. Meanwhile, Carrie has a brief but memorable fling with a politician who's golden, but not in the way she anticipated. She then sabotages her too-good-to-be-true relationship with furniture designer Aidan (John Corbett) by having an affair with Mr. Big (Chris Noth), who himself has gotten married. Like I Love Lucy, the series benefited from a brief change of scenery with a three-episode jaunt to Los Angeles, where Carrie and company encountered, among others, Matthew McConaughey, Vince Vaughn, Hugh Hefner, and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
The fourth season is just as smart and sexy as ever, mixing caustic adult wit and sharply observed situation comedy on the mean streets of Manhattan, though this time the quartet of singleton city girls must endure even tougher combat in the unending war of love, sex, and shopping. Carrie finally seems to have found her ideal life partner when she is reunited with handsome craftsman Aidan. But can their relationship survive trial by cohabitation? Meanwhile Charlotte seems to have both her dream Park Avenue apartment and a solution to her marital problems with Trey. But when the subject of babies comes up, everything starts to unravel for her, too. It's not just Charlotte who has baby issues either: after what seems like an eternity of enforced sexual abstinence Miranda is horrified to discover she's pregnant. And as for the sultry Samantha, she's on a quest for monogamy, first with an exotic lesbian artist, then with a philandering businessman, with whom to her utter dismay she just might have fallen in love.
It was a short but sweet fifth season, as HBO's resident comediennes found themselves affected by forces beyond their control--the pregnancies of both Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon. A truncated shooting schedule to accommodate the actresses forced this season to be reduced to a mere eight episodes, but they and creators forged ahead, creating a handful of episodes that if short in content were long on emotion and laughs. Carrie and Miranda wrestled with their solitary lifestyles, albeit with new attachments--Miranda had new baby Brady and single motherhood, while Carrie found herself in the world of publishing as the author of a real-life book of her columns. Charlotte wondered if she'd ever find another man, while Samantha finally got rid of the one that had been vexing her far too much. If the season as a whole felt less than the sum of its parts, those parts were some of the best comedy in the show's history. The season's climactic episode, "I Love a Charade," was one of the series' best episodes ever, equally touching and funny, and grounded the show in an emotional maturity that announced that after all their wild travails, these women had truly grown up.
After a long wait--like the entire fifth season--Carrie is dating again. The sixth season starts with Carrie and her sparkly new potential, Berger (Ron Livingston), trying to leave past relationships and hit it off, with mixed results. Meanwhile Carrie's friends seem to be settling down, relatively speaking. Miranda decides that her affair with TiVo cannot compete when Mr. Perfect (Blair Underwood, at his most charming) moves into her building. Charlotte's feelings for her "opposites attract" boyfriend (Evan Handler) deepen, but they still have a few things to iron out. Most surprising is Samantha's hot relationship with waiter-actor-stud Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis) taking on something resembling love, despite Samantha's best intentions. Before the sixth season started in the summer of 2003, a bombshell hit: it was announced that this would be the finale. 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, and the show is still flat-out funny. 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.
With the last eight episodes of the sixth season, HBO's grand sitcom concluded, leaving untold numbers of women--and many men--feeling deprived. The six-year series certainly did not outlast its welcome; the final season is some of the best TV had to offer in 2004. In many ways, the eight episodes served as a single finale, with all four characters approaching a kind of destiny and happiness, the theme of this last half-season (which aired weeks after the first half). Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) continues her romance with Russian artist (Mikhail Baryshnikov), a flippantly arrogant man who's been around the block, but able to supply Carrie's needed desire for magic. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) has settled down with Steve (David Eigenberg), but there is more that will change with her, including her address. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) continues to make baby plans now that the husband slot is filled quite nicely (Evan Handler). Going down the final stretch--and Samantha's (Kim Cattrall) cancer--gives the series a more serious tone, but there's always a jab to tickle the funny bone: Miranda's awkwardness with happiness, Charlotte's latest passion, Carrie typing someplace new, and Samantha getting into Paris Hilton territory. Like any series winding down, there is a wedding, a baby, old faces popping up, and some star-ladened new ones. In the final two-part episode, "An American in Paris," Carrie faces her romantic destiny, but also solidifies herself as a fashion icon, an Audrey Hepburn for 21st-century television. In the penultimate episode, she asks her friends an emotional question: "What if I never met you?" Certainly fans can ask of themselves the same question and reminisce how much better TV became since they first tuned in these four women of the City.

DVD's dont play!.......2007-09-14
I have been waiting for this and finally received it. Ok but I am on my replacement set that ALSO wont play. I am frustrated and disappointed. So now what, do I buy each season individually???!
english subtitles?.......2007-09-14
I am planning to buy this product, but it will all depend if it has english subtitles. Can anyone who owns it please let me know? Thanks much.
The perfect package!.......2007-09-11
This attractive box set is great for keeping all of the Sex and the City DVDs together and organized in one place. Before I got this set, I had all of the individual seasons on seperate dvd's which took up a lot of space and wasn't very convenient for taking to parties or lending out. The art in this collection is also great, with pictures of all of the actresses and blurbs and quotes from each episode. This is very helpful when you're looking for that one particular episode that you want to watch!
So much "Sex", so little time . . ........2007-09-09
After two years of wanting this DVD set more than I wanted anything else, I finally have it. And, after finally having it, I spent nearly 50 hours watching every single episode back to back to back. I barely left my room, I barely talked to my friends, and I loved it.
There are some definite drawbacks to the set, it's true. However, unlike many here, I actually didn't have a problem with the packaging. I admit that the height is a bit of a problem, because even though my shelves are extra-large, it doesn't fit in with the rest of my DVDs. That's actually okay by me, because it just means that they'll get a place of honor all their own on another shelf. And I don't mind that they're in cardboard slots in a binder. It's good quality, stiff cardboard and there's no reason it won't last as long as you're taking care of your set. The main issue I have with packaging is that the set comes in a plastic case that actually broke during transit, so that I no longer have anything to keep the dust off the velvet cover. Oh well, c'est la vie. I'm not sending the whole set back just for a broken case that may well break again when they send me another one.
The reason I bought this set is because of the television show, which I adore. I never thought I could forget how great this show was, but apparently I did, because watching it all together like I did really made me see it with new eyes. I found myself looking at it from a completely different perspective, especially now that I have two years of my own experience to add to it. I was surprised, for instance, by how much I dislike Carrie Bradshaw now, as a character. When I watched the show season by season, she just seemed like a fun, flawed character. But once I saw how screwed up she really was as a person, most of my sympathy for her went right out the window. Luckily, as the seasons went on, it became clearer and clearer that she wasn't the main reason to watch. She didn't evolve or change as a character at all, but everyone around her did. And maybe that was the point.
Unfortunately, I'll never know for sure if that was the point or not, due to the laziness in putting this "Collector's Giftset" together. The extras compiled here are definitely the most pathetic extras I've ever seen. There are some silly and poorly constructed games (The one where you choose which SATC man you're most compatible with doesn't even make any sense. Play it and see.), some thoroughly pointless and badly edited clip packages and a bunch of other extras that might have been useful *IF* anyone had actually put some thought into them.
For instance, there's a guide to all the men the women dated on each episode. But they don't give the name of the actor, in case you want to look him up. And when they tell you what disc to put in to watch that episode, they do it numerically: "Insert Disc 11", etc.. However, the discs aren't actually numbered that way, so you'd have to sit there and count every disc in order to figure out which one was the right one. They DO give the names of all actors who play the main men, but that's nothing you can't easily find on IMDb, so that's a cop-out.
Also, the discs themselves have been re-printed with new pictures on the outside, but they have the same exact layout and content as the discs from the individual seasons. It's a cheap and lazy ploy, and it's outrageous that for $200, HBO couldn't be bothered to get the main actors, writers and producers into a studio to record some fresh commentary tracks. I've already heard all these commentary tracks, so none of this is new. It's outrageous, but it's not surprising. HBO has a long history of gouging people for as much money as they can in exchange for as little content as they can get away with, so it's buyer beware, at all times.
Yet, in spite of all this, I still think the show is amazing, and I'm still so thrilled to finally have it all at my fingertips that I'm willing to overlook just about anything. After all, I didn't buy this for the extras. And neither should anyone else. If you already own every other season, throw out your cheap plastic packaging and invest in a nice CD wallet to hold your discs, but don't throw out all the discs just to buy this set. It's not worth it. (And if you only own a few seasons and are looking to this to complete your collection, you're better off just buying the ones you're missing on their own. Trust me.) However, if you don't own ANY of the discs, then by all means, invest. I can't think of a better way to spend $200 and 47 hours.
3rd & 4th Season DO NOT PLAY!!!.......2007-09-07
Its been said before. And like the others, I don't blame Amazon. They did everything they could, sent a new (but defective) set over night air. Refunded my money when neither played, and I was well past the 30 day period.
But I'm highly dissapointed! I saved up to get this set, and was looking so forward to owning it. Now, I say, don't buy it. And write to HBO demanding a product that works!!

The third season was the charm for one of HBO's gold standard series, which earned its first Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series to go along with its Golden Globes for Best Comedy Series and Best Actress (Sarah Jessica Parker). The writing is as sharp as ever, with more trendy product placement than a Bret Easton Ellis novel and ribald banter that's a cross between the Algonquin Round Table and the Friars Club. One of this season's two principal story arcs concerned hapless-in-love Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and her pursuit of a husband; enter (if only...) Kyle McLachlan as the unfortunately impotent Trey. Meanwhile, sex columnist Carrie has a brief but memorable fling with a politician who's golden, but not in the way she anticipated. She then sabotages her too-good-to-be-true relationship with furniture designer Aidan (John Corbett) by having an affair with Mr. Big (Chris Noth), who himself has gotten married.
"Do we need drama to make a relationship work?" Carrie muses at one point. Sex and the City needs drama to make it work, and Parker and Cynthia Nixon (as career woman Miranda), this ensemble's better half, give the show its pulsating heart as they wrestle with commitment and, in the episode "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," sadder-but-wiser breakups. On the lighter side, the sexual dalliances of "rude and politically incorrect" Samantha (Kim Cattrall) provide great fodder for comedy. Like I Love Lucy, the series benefited from a brief change of scenery with a three-episode jaunt to Los Angeles, where Carrie and company encountered, among others, Matthew McConaughey, Vince Vaughn, Hugh Hefner, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. At its best, to quote one character, Sex and the City is "sharp, edgy, brutal at times, always a little juicy." It may be "very New York," but the sex and relationship issues it tackles are universal. For its devoted fans, the release of this 18-episode, three-disc set is, to quote Gellar's clueless Hollywood junior development exec, "chick flick big." --Donald Liebenson
Customer Reviews:
Amazon sent wrong discs to me -- again!!!.......2007-09-07
The show itself is great - 5 stars for that --- but - I purchased it from Amazon on June 20th. I can't remember when I received it but I bought the individual seasons after I bought the special all inclusive set. So I just opened this set a couple of days ago and to my dismay there are 2 disc one's and no disc three! - This is the second time this has happened to me (the first was Angel). This is SO disappointing since it's after the 30 days as was the case in the Angel set. I will NEVER again buy something from Amazon and not open it right away even if I don't have the time to watch it at that time. This is one of my two all time favorite shows and the series ended exactly as it should have.
The Quality of the DVD is Poor.......2007-08-10
I enjoy the Sex in the City episodes very much. I have a perfectly good DVD player that does not have problems playing any other DVD in my rather large DVD library. However, in the middle of an episode I like, the DVD started slowing down and grinding to a hault. I thought it was unusual and bought another one. The same problem happened during one of the episodes. In addition, Season one had the same problem on one of the episodes. These DVDs aren not meant to be watched many times because some of them are very poorly made.
Very disappointing. However, I watch other episodes over and over. I know things aren't made as well lately as in years before but this is ridiculous. What am I supposed to do if I want to one of my favorite episodes which happens to be technically flawed. I can't afford to keep buying the seasons. Beware of buying the complete seasons for this reason.
Oh great irony!!!.......2007-05-31
After making me watch Sex and the City with her, my wife astutely observed that at the heart of this show is a great irony. Touted as a "breakout show" lauding feminism and female empowerment, Sex and the City ironically only managed to portray women as more shallow, superficial, petty and empty-headed than virtually any other television show in history (thank creator Darren Star). Far from challenging whatever backward notions might remain that women are not men's equals, all watching this show would actually do is effectively confirm everything about women that misogynistic chauvinists unfoundedly believe, especially but not limited to the beliefs that women are silly, adolescent, juvenile and totally unencumbered by any burdens of logic, adulthood or maturity. Great progress.
Tiring quickly of Carrie Bradshaw's infantile and meaningless ponderings--"Is New York all about change?" "Are new myths required for singles?" "Is life in Manhattan like a bagel with cream cheese?" Here's one: "Is life really all about perpetually asking meaninglessly vacuous questions and then posing witty but ultimately arbitrary responses?"--one is left to wonder what exactly happened to her in childhood that so effectively stunted her emotional development, seemingly forever cementing her personality at about a sixteen/seventeen-year old emotional age. Are we supposed to pity her that "Big" treats her like a little kid, regardless of the fact that she disturbingly acts like an unbalanced little child? I would say no, especially in light of the fact that in real life "Big" and Carrie would probably not be together in the first place.
Another of the show's many absurdities is the foursome of friends that comprise its main characters. Let's face it folks, unless these girls grew up together (and in the show they didn't), these four women would NOT be friends in real life. They would hate each other.
Character development, multiple story arcs, and four fabulous women.......2007-04-28
*Possible spoilers within.*
Though it had grown progressively better through its first two seasons, the third season of "Sex and the City" was by far the best yet. That's because the show stopped depending so much on placing the characters in outrageous situations and began also paying attention to the characters themselves, creating numerous story arcs as well. By the end of the third season, each of the characters had developed, but realistically so.
Season Three, comprised of 18 episodes airing from June to October 2000, thrust the girls into the new millennium. Still recooperating from her second breakup with Mr. Big (Chris Noth), Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) reluctantly returns to dating, first with a charming politician (John Slattery) before falling into her first serious relationship since Big with an irresistible all-American furniture designer named Aidan (John Corbett). But then, just as things are going perfectly, none other than Mr. Big himself reappears in Carrie's life, leading to a chain of events that will hurt more than just our favorite sex columnist.
The supporting characters get their share of storylines as well. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) finally finds a serious relationship when she meets Steve (David Eigenberg), an adorable and sweet bartender. Their relationship is always on the edge, however, thanks to Miranda's tendency to self-destruct when things start going well. Samantha (Kim Cattrall) gains a little morality and self-control (but just a little) while she deals with the fact that she's getting older. Then there's Charlotte (Kristin Davis), who decides that this is the year she's going to get married. It turns out she's right. So who's the lucky man? None other than the peerless Kyle MacLachlan (of "Blue Velvet" and "Twin Peaks" fame, among much else). But Charlotte is shocked to find herself loosening up when she realizes marriage isn't all she'd thought it would be.
The work of the series' writers really made this season the show's finest yet. The girls' antics had been enough to support the show through the past seasons, but they would only support them for so long. The writers realized this, and they developed enough story arcs and difficulties to re-shape the characters and keep viewers on the edge of their seat. Not to worry, though: Carrie kept on answering those questions that continue to haunt women around the world. And while the season's multiple storylines keeps the season feeling fresh from start to finish, the writers went above and beyond when they moved Carrie and the gang to L.A. for a couple of episodes. It was a refreshing change from the increasingly dreary streets of New York, and included wonderful guest appearances from Vince Vaughn, Hugh Hefner, Carrie Fisher, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Matthew McConaughey.
Season Three was the show's best season yet, thanks to excellent work on the writers' parts and a fabulous guest cast. As the season finale came to its close, Carrie was reunited with Big yet again. This time, however, their meeting ended with smiles and hope rather than tears and disappointment, leaving the millions of "Sex and the City" addicts feeling anxious and optimistic about what promised to be a superb fourth season.
Season 3 makes me Happy.......2007-01-12
In my opinion it is the best season out of the six. A must own!
Amazon.com
A smart and savvy (albeit highly stylized) look at the single lives of four thirtysomething Manhattan women, Sex and the City: The Complete Second Season builds on the foundation of its first season with plot arcs that are both hilarious and heartfelt, taking the show from breakout hit to true pop-culture phenomenon. Relationship epiphanies coexist happily alongside farcical plots and zingy one-liners, resulting in emotionally satisfying episodes that feature the sharp kind of character-defining dialogue that seems to have disappeared from the rest of TV long ago. When last we left the NYC gals, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) had just broken up with a commitment-phobic Mr. Big (Chris Noth), but fans of Noth's seductive-yet-distant rake didn't have to wait long until he was back in the picture, as he and Carrie tried to make another go of it. Their relationship evolution, from reunion to second breakup, provides the core of the second season. The fittingly titled and keenly observed episode "Evolution" found Carrie trying to leave a few feminine belongings at Mr. Big's apartment with little success, charting the challenges and limits of intimacy. And the season's finale, "Ex and the City," was a melancholy goodbye for Carrie and Big that took its cue from The Way We Were. It wasn't all angst, though: among other adventures, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) puzzles over whether one of her beaus was "gay-straight" or "straight-gay"; Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) tries to date a guy who insists on having sex only in places where they might get caught; and Samantha (the exquisite Kim Cattrall) copes with dates who range from, um, not big enough to far too big--with numerous stops in between. Through it all, the four actresses cohered into a solid ensemble that played on their complex relationships among themselves as well as with men; in two short years, Parker and company became one of the best TV casts in over a decade. And to top it all off, the second season offers 18 episodes, six more than the first. Sometimes size really can make a difference! --Mark Englehart

This was one of HBO's best series! It was very funny, full of action and drama you gotta love Samantha she is Definitely my favorite. I will miss this show who knows maybe they will bring back(lol) I can dream can't I?

Superior sophomore season - by this point you're an addict.......2007-04-23
*Possible spoilers within.*
"Sex and the City"'s first season was a delight, but its second was even better. Season 2 ran from June to October 1999 and spanned 18 episodes, as opposed to Season 1's 12. By the time one reaches Season 2, you love the characters, you go into a trance when the charmingly surreal credits sequence comes on, and you need two hours to get back into the swing of everyday life when an episode finishes. You're an addict.
And what's not to love? The cast is even better. Cynthia Nixon's Miranda loosens up, and even develops a long-term relationship with super-cute bartender Steve (David Eigenberg). Kristin Davis' Charlotte becomes even more obsessed with finding Mr. Right, but he's no where to be seen. Samantha (Kim Cattrall) ... well, continues to sleep around. Meanwhile, Carrie's (Sarah Jessica Parker) life is just as crazy as ever. Still broken up over her - well, break up with Mr. Big (Chris Noth), Carrie tries to leap back in to the dating game to no avail. However, a few close encounters of the Big kind and they're together again, a fact Carrie is first ashamed, then proud of. Can they make it work the second time around?
Throughout Season 2, Carrie continues to ask those questions that have haunted single women for years. She's no longer as "in control" as she was during the first season, though. Her breakup with Big has left her feeling vulnerable and lost. Fortunately, she has three wonderful friends, and a team of witty, intelligent writers and directors to back her up as well. All in all, it's not as bouncy a season as the first, but "Sex and the City"'s sophomore season is superior and addictive. If you loved Season 1, don't even try to resist - grab Season 2 as fast as you can.
Good Product Bad Shipper.......2007-03-09
The dvds are great just as Sex and the City is however the shipper was slow to send them and it took more than the aloted time to get them to me.
Good.......2007-02-08
The DVDs were really nice but one of them had so GOO on it I didnt know what the sticky stuff was but it was fine after I wiped it off all in all I loved it.

It was a short but sweet fifth season for Sex and the City, as HBO's resident comediennes found themselves affected by forces beyond their control--the pregnancies of both Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie) and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda). A truncated shooting schedule to accommodate the actresses forced this season to be reduced to a mere eight episodes, and indeed, you can tell both actresses are expecting. (Carrie's wardrobe became more outlandish and more concealing than usual.) Still, the actresses and creators forged ahead, creating a handful of episodes that if short in content were long on emotion and laughs. Whereas the fourth season found all four grappling with various relationships, the fifth season focused on the perils of being single, with a new intensity lacking in the previous sexcapades. Carrie and Miranda wrestled with their solitary lifestyles, albeit with new attachments--Miranda had new baby Brady and single motherhood, while Carrie found herself in the world of publishing as the author of a real-life book of her columns. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) wondered if she'd ever find another man, while Samantha (Kim Cattrall) finally got rid of the one that had been vexing her far too much, hotelier Richard (James Remar). If the season as a whole felt less than the sum of its parts, those parts were some of the best comedy in the show's history, from Samantha's anointment as the "Michiko Kakutani of vibrators" to Carrie's stressful, one-degree-from-fiasco book launch party. (And fear not, Chris Noth's Mr. Big does pop up now and again.) The season's climactic episode, "I Love a Charade," found all four at the straight wedding of a seemingly gay pal (Nathan Lane) and contemplating their future with a wry, bemused tone. It was one of the series' best episodes ever, equally touching and funny, and grounded the show in an emotional maturity that announced that after all their wild travails, these women had truly grown up. --Mark Englehart

fans---skip this one!!!!.......2007-08-24
If this had been the first season I would have never watched any more! I love "sex and the city" but wish I hadn't wasted my money on this 5th season! boring- boring - boring!!!!! Carrie is so cute & then some idiot cut that beautiful hair!!!!!Now all I see is her long neck & her nose!!!!!!I am buying both 1&2 of the 6th hoping they got enough bad reviews that they bring Big & Carrie back together and let her hair grow back!!!!In my opinion their love affair is what made this show.
Sex in the City-5th Season.......2007-08-05
Wonderful dvd to stay with the storyline. This is the season before the last season to the series.
Should've been named Carrie & the City..........2007-07-25
The fifth season is ALL about Carrie, she seems so needy in this season. It sucks that we are forced to pay almost full price for half the episodes but, on the bright side its only eight episodes of her whinning incessantly. I only bought it to complete the set.
Still great.......2007-06-15
If you want to know, yes, season five was only eight episodes. And HBO did charge the full $49.99 for this season. And I know it didn't have as many important plot details. Meaning that if you skipped this season, you would be okay. But it was still a fun and pretty funny season featuring such moments as Samantha getting a chemical peel and ending up with her facing all burnt and red, Miranda almost going crazy because Brady won't stop crying, Carrie going to San Francisco for her book tour, and Charlotte finding herself in love with her sloppy divorce lawyer. Even though I was upset with the price, I got it on sale. And now, they are ALL on sale pretty much wherever you go. Amazon has pretty good prices. So enjoy.

Here's one: "Is life really all about perpetually asking meaninglessly vacuous questions and then posing witty but ultimately arbitrary responses?"--one is left to wonder what exactly happened to her in childhood that so effectively stunted her emotional development, seemingly forever cementing her personality at about a sixteen/seventeen-year old emotional age. Are we supposed to pity her that "Big" treats her like a little kid, regardless of the fact that she disturbingly acts like an unbalanced little child? I would say no, especially in light of the fact that in real life "Big" and Carrie would probably not be together in the first place.
Another of the show's many absurdities is the foursome of friends that comprise its main characters. Let's face it folks, unless these girls grew up together (and in the show they didn't), these four women would NOT be friends in real life. They would hate each other.
Product Description
Each episode of Sex & the City deal with the romantic challenges that single women face when they start seeing the big three oh in the rear view mirror & start finding new suitable mates. These challenges are revealed through the eyes of several friends, each of whom has their own ideas on how to catch Mr. Right. There's Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), who pushed the envelope of dating & sex in the name of journalism; Samantha (Kim Catrall), a PR Executive who has seen (& done) it all; Charlotte (Kristin Davis), an art deal who believes love conquers all, despite a tottering marriage; & Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), a lawyer now contemplating motherhood.

The fourth season of Sex and the City is just as smart and sexy as ever, mixing caustic adult wit and sharply observed situation comedy on the mean streets of Manhattan, though this time the quartet of singleton city girls must endure even tougher combat in the unending war of love, sex, and shopping. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) finally seems to have found her ideal life partner when she is reunited with handsome craftsman Aidan (John Corbett). But can their relationship survive trial by cohabitation? Meanwhile Charlotte (Kristin Davis) seems to have both her dream Park Avenue apartment and a solution to her marital problems with Trey (Kyle MacLachlan). But when the subject of babies comes up, everything starts to unravel for her, too. It's not just Charlotte who has baby issues either: after what seems like an eternity of enforced sexual abstinence Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is horrified to discover she's pregnant. And as for the sultry Samantha (Kim Cattrall), she's on a quest for monogamy, first with an exotic lesbian artist, then with a philandering businessman, with whom to her utter dismay she just might have fallen in love. --Mark Walker

Totally new show!.......2007-07-19
This was still a great season with some of the best highlights of the series. But I couldn't help but notice that after seeing a couple of episodes, I realized that this season is definitely more adult and mature, and takes the show to a whole new level. The story-lines aren't so carefree, but more complex, and serious. I actually liked it like this. My favorits included "The Real Me", "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda", "Baby, Talk is", "Ghost Town", and "My Motherboard, Myself". Carrie also has to deal with her relationship with Aiden taking a serious turn that Carrie doesn't think she's cut out for.
Great series..........2007-06-16
...but not for you if nudity and language make you squirm.
Oh great irony!!!.......2007-05-31
After making me watch Sex and the City with her, my wife astutely observed that at the heart of this show is a great irony. Touted as a "breakout show" lauding feminism and female empowerment, Sex and the City ironically only managed to portray women as more shallow, superficial, petty and empty-headed than virtually any other television show in history (thank creator Darren Star). Far from challenging whatever backward notions might remain that women are not men's equals, all watching this show would actually do is effectively confirm everything about women that misogynistic chauvinists unfoundedly believe, especially but not limited to the beliefs that women are silly, adolescent, juvenile and totally unencumbered by any burdens of logic, adulthood or maturity. Great progress.

I love it!.......2007-05-11
Sex and the City was a wonderful show and season 4 was fantastic. Carrie's book is published, we meet Jack Berger, the jerk writer that Carrie falls for, and Nathan Lane gets married (to a woman!!!) and you'll be amused to watch how the wardrobe department tries to hide Sarah Jessica Parker's pregnancy by throwing giant billowly outfits on her for the whole season. Just chalk it up to Carrie's crazy sense of fashion! Enjoy it!

After making her name in The Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway takes a radical detour with this edgy independent drama. As Allie, a wealthy gangsta wannabe, she makes no excuses for her delinquent behavior: "We're just teenagers and we're bored." When her Pacific Palisades posse, including pal Emily (Bully's Bijou Phillips), starts hanging out with a Latino gang (including Six Feet Under's Freddy Rodríguez), they learn what thug life is really about. Hathaway couldn't be more game: She swears, she fights--she disrobes (several times). Written and directed by Oscar winners Stephen Gaghan (Traffic) and Barbara Kopple (American Dream), Havoc plays like a B movie, in the vein of the superior crazy/beautiful, and was released straight to video. For Hathaway fans, it's a chance to see this young talent in a very different light, but for Gaghan and Kopple followers, this lurid morality tale is sure to come as a letdown. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Description

crash lite.......2007-08-11
just see it for the ladies, because other than that it is like crash. Well wait this came out before Crash so..oh who cares. end result is the gang bangers bump heads with the wanna be gb's and it all goes downhill from there. Bayou Phillips is hot and so is Hathaway if you know what I am talking about so if you are looking for that kind of action it is here. Really now, good acting and neat story. Just that, well kind of not realistic, like the girls trying to get into a gang and stuff. Any teen that does something THAT dumb needs to start over in the first grade or just be admitted into an asylum.
Havoc (Unrated Version)..........2007-08-11
Overall, I found this film, adequate. A few notes:
1. Girls looking for thrills/excitement in East L.A.? I don't think so. Go rolling to East L.A. in a convertible Mercedes or SUV? Can you say car-jack victim? I can...without any bias whatsoever.
2. The initiation scene is somewhat realistic. It has been said that in order for girls to join certain male dominated groups (gangs, etc.), that they must submit themselves to the 'group.' That has been documented in the press...any teenage girls out there? Well, beware!!
3. As a person who has been to Palisades High School in West Los Angeles (yes, folks, Pacific Palisades High School is real, just minutes from the beach!). You do indeed see kids immersed in the hip-hop culture. The difference? Some of these kids' families are very well-off. That part of the movie comes through very well.
