Editorial Review: All six hilarious seasons that take a skewed female look at dating, mating and relating in New York. Sex and the City - The Complete Seasons 1-5 & Season 6 Part 1 (6-Pack) Reviews: 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 value on a new American classic  2005-02-16 - Since Sex and the City premiered, it's become a cult classic amongst American women- and even some men. This set is complete, and much more affordable than buying each video separately. I recieved the set as a Christmas gift, and did a SATC binge between December and January, and I realized how wonderful the series is when watched a whole, instead of having to wait several months for a new season. When watched consecutively, the series seems like a real, romantic dramedy film. While the features on the set are a bit sparse, the commentary really is a pretty entertaining and insightful, and not drawn out or boring, especially since each episode is only 30 minutes. Buy the set, and indulge in the joy that is SATC for years to come.
This is a Very Good Value  2004-12-09 - This complete set has a very good value. If you purchased each one individually with shipping it will be more expensive than buying the set. If you were to buy them all at once individually with the Super Saving Shipper the box set is still a few cents cheaper. Also, buying the set at amazon.com is way cheaper than anywhere else. All in all this is a very good value. No you are going to be ripped off or have another way to save money. This is the way to go.
This series will blow your socks off!  2004-11-04 - This dvd set is great!!! It is well worth the money to purchase the whole set. I can't wait for Season 6 part 2.
OMG!  2004-09-07 - Since the moment I put in the First Season of SATC in my DVD player, my boyfriend and I basically made it "our" show. Though my boyfriend really never got in to nor had the time to watch any SATC, he was hooked after the first episode. Little over a month after receiving the boxed set of Seasons 1-5 and Season 6, Part 1.... we are on Season 6, Disc 2. We are anxiously anticipating the release of Season Six Part 2!!!
