Description of Sex and the City - Season Six, Part 1:
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
Sex and the City - Season Six, Part 1 Reviews:
will watch until I am 109 
2009-10-20 - Yes, HBO got us by splitting this into two disc's but if you are a sex in the city true fan it would not make a difference if they split them up in 10. You would still buy the movie. I watched this on HBO for the first two season's and then cancelled HBO I then subscribed again for the last season and wish I had not missed any of them. So like a good little fan I purchased all of the season's 1-6.1. I would stay up until 2 or 3 am watching these fantastic women go through the journey of love and friendship. It made me want to move to New York. I live in Los Angeles and have been on my job for over 25 years, I still want to move to New York because of these wonderful women and their wonderful characters. I love this DVD as well as the previous 5 and I have purchased the first movie and can't wait until the next movie come out. When I need to laugh I watch SEX and the City. I love them all but Samantha is my favorite.
More fun in the big apple
2009-09-24 - In these initial episodes from the show's final season, "Sex and the City" is as bawdy and fun as ever. A generous collection of rich character moments, both funny and serious, ratchet up the quality even further. I'm definitely aboard for the big close in "Season Six, Part Two", and then the movie, which I've held off seeing until working my way through all the episodes. I do hope the movie compares favorably with this extremely well-produced show.
"Sex and the City, Season Six, Part One" looks and sounds great on standard DVD and features a cute extra feature: an amateurishly filmed but fascinating panel discussion (about a half hour long) featuring the cast and producer/frequent episode director Michael Patrick King.
Best of the series 
2009-06-04 - Season six is definitely the best season of the series. I think splitting it into two separate dvd sets is silly and greedy, however.
Sex and the City Season 6 Part 1
2009-05-03 - The beginning of this season made you think that the series had lost some of its' steam. The characters seemed to be so far away from where they started. It was almost like they were being forced into something they didn't want. This first part of season 6 left you disconcerted that the season was going to end badly, but if you watch part 1 and part 2, you are left content with the ending.
Haven't recieved it yet 
2009-03-16 - I ordered this on February 13, and it is March 16 and I still have not recieved the video. I can't give it a good rating if I don't have it yet, can I?
