I purchased this item because it marked as "like new" in condition and was very disappointed to find that when it arrived the case was broken and more than one of the DVD's did not work I ended up replacing it.

What can I say? This is a good gift for the wife - She loves the raw comedy of Sex in the City. I guess I would have to say I get quite a few chuckles out of the show too.

Sex and the City - The Complete Third Season won the Emmy for best comedy series that year and I think it deserved that honor. The four characters developed and started serious relationships like Carrie's affair with Big while she was dating Aidan, and Charlotte getting married to Trey. My favorite episodes include: The Big Time, Escape from New York, Hot Child in the City, and Cock a Doodle Do. This is another groundbreaking season, buy it today!

Amazon sent wrong discs to me -- again!!! - Review written on September 07, 2007

Rating: 3 out of 5

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 - Review written on August 10, 2007

Rating: 4 out of 5

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!!! - Review written on May 30, 2007

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 - Review written on April 28, 2007

*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.

Sex and The City just keeps getting better and better! They deal with serious and uncomfortable issues in a comedic way that anyone can appreciate. The plot line is engaging and addictive. There's not one other show I currently watch or have ever watched that I have been so dedicated to. I found the trials and tribulations of these single women very amusing yet at times true to life. Everyone should give this show a chance, you just may be surprised.

Sex and the City is fabulous as always. Though in this collection there are some episodes that are better than other ones. There is still sex, relationships, brake-ups and of course shoes. Even though the whole show is about four girlfriends, it doesn't make it boring. It makes it more interesting and obsessive.

I Loved this season from start to finish. I thought the first 2 season's where good but not great but this season changed that. I found out thsi show is one of the best comadies ever, it shows how life really is and it's really true. The show is funny and it has one oth best cast ever. There Carrie who's funny and loveable, then theres Mirranda who is more the boring charactor but is funyn to see how much she thinks her life sucks and it's actuallu good, then theres Charlette the women who wants to get married and finally dose in theis season but things are not what they seem and finally theres Samantha the best of all the women she's so funny and stelas every scene I love her. A show that must be watched by everyone.

This show is really good!!! This is by far, hands down the best season ever. In this season, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) who is recently dating Aiden, is finding herself falling for Big again. While Charlotte, who ended up proposing to Trey who said "alrighty" is excited but nervous about her wedding while she has to pick out a dress, plan the wedding, pick a maid of honor and bridesmaids etc. Miranda is feeling like a teenager again because of the braces she is forced to wear, while not to much earlier is being verbally assaults by a talking sandwich. And Samantha, well, she is still causing trouble. I totally reccomend this show to anyone who likes a cute and funny romantic comedy television show. Carrie is my favorite!

This show is on TBS and I finally had the chance to see it. I didn't like it. This show is all about women over 30 having sex and laughing about it. It's a pointless show. If you want funny. Buy Family Guy or Friends or the simpsons. But not this show

I am absolutely addicted to Sex and the City, the third season was so wonderful and I love the fact that now I can watch it over and over again. Just the accessories make the whole season great. Carrie has like what...10 Dior saddle purses?? How f***ing great is that?
The DVD's are great with the synopsis and the "quotes from each episode". "I'm scootin' in heels" is one of my favorites.
This is abviously my guilty pleasure, so I recommend it to everyone.

I believe this season was one of the best, the characters are fully developed into their own and we know them, yet they still manage to surprise us. Many people might have been disappointed with Carrie affair with Big, but that is life and these things happen in reality. So I looked at it in that way rather that Carrie being totally silly for cheating on such a great boyfriend (Adian).

I believe this Set is freaking fabulous!!!

Have you ever wondered why most men aren't into this show? I mean, you'd think that we'd be glued to the set drooling over a show about a bunch of chicks talking about sex all the time, not to mention a few softcore porn scenes thrown in.

The answer to the dearth of male viewers is actually quite simple: It's because its "star" is Sarah Jessica Parker. "Sex and the City"? That is false advertising. With Parker at the helm of personnae dramatis, it ought to have been called "Skank and the City."

I was as aroused by this show as I was by staring at yesterday's pizza. According to the product info, this item is not for sale to anyone under the age of 18, which is quite paradoxical, as it is written, acted and produced for women who have never mentally matured above the age of 13.

This is probably the best season of 'Sex and the City'. It's also a very important one. It's funny because the four girls seem to be the only single women in NYC. So when Charlotte decides to get married, it's a big deal. Too bad that she waits until the night before her wedding to have sex to learn that Trey is impotent. Carrie also has an affair with Big, who is married to Natascha. After she finds out and Carrie ruins their marriage, she breaks things off with Big, much to the relief of her friends who know that Big isn't good for her at all. Feeling guilty, she tells her boyfriend Aidan and he breaks up with her. I guess the truth hurts. There's a fun three episodes when the girls head to L.A. where we get a bunch of cameos from the celebs. Carrie ends up sleeping with a house-sitter (Vince Vaughn) who says he's a casting agent, but really is just watching Carrie Fisher's house. Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy!) appears as Debbie, an obnoxious talent agent, and Hugh Hefner appears as himself and kicks Samantha and the girls out of his party after a mishap with a faux purse. All in all, a great season that ends with a fun episode with Samantha getting into fights with the transvestites downstairs.

I own the first 4 seasons and love every single one of them. If you are a woman in a large city or in a small town looking for that something special in your life you will be able to relate to many things in this series! My advice... if you didn't see it when they were on HBO go out and buy it, you'll enjoy it. If you did see it, go buy it anyway because you'll want to see it again in a couple of years.

Who needs any other form of TV when you have Sex and the City on DVD? Season 3 has to be my favorite; the characters are given even more depth and nuaince. A perfect balance is reached between comedy and more serious topics; the women are all learning more about themselves, but there are plenty of places to make us laugh.
I would also like to add that I am 24, and I recently turned my 56 yr old mother onto S & the C! To her, it's liberating for women to talk about sex so openly!
