Sex and the City - The Complete Fourth Season

Probably the saddest of the seasons for the girls. The old adage "be careful what you wish for" comes to mind. After a lot of self examination, the girls become mre realistic about men and love. On to Seasons 5, 6 and the movie!!

Rating: 5 out of 5

Sex and the City - The Complete Fourth Season is by far the best season of this series. The fourth season was more dramatic and profound and I absolutely loved it! My favorite episodes from this season include: The Real Me, Just Say Yes, Coulda Woulda Shoulda, Change of a Dress, and I Heart NY. Sarah Jessica Parker really shined this season as she said good-bye to Aidan and Big, while Cynthia Nixon's character became a mother, Kristen Davis' Charlotte ended her marriage to Trey, and Samantha fell in love with Richard and had her heart broken. Defintely one season to buy, I highly recommend it!

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.

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.

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!

I can't say this is my favorite, they all are! These seasons get better and better with time. This show is not only entertaining it is constant trips down memory lane (I've said that, done that). Highs and lows of sex and love combined with brilliant humor. SATC literally shows every type of relationship out there and ones you never thought of. Especially good for the relationships one has had where you couldn't put your finger on what "that" was. Boom! You find it on these discs. Beneficial for men to watch as well. I could watch this over and over and over. SATC never gets old for me and I am sorry the story line had to end. I would have loved to see Carrie and Big, along with everyone else for a couple more seasons.

Sex and the City is back again. This time there is more sex, more relationships and of course more drama. It's so good though, and addictive. Just by watching it, you are already a part of it, like their fifth girlfriend, with the same problems. It's funny and it's great all the way around!!!!

I love sex and the city for it's great humor to realness that no other show has done before. I have to say I enjoyed season 3 better but I liked this season better then season 1 and 2. The season started off slow but picked up fast. This season deals with more maturing story lines. Carrie gets engaged, Smatha learns what love is, Charlette delas with a not so perfet marriage and Miranda gets pregnet. It's weird to see how the charactors have matured through out the first 4 seasons. I cant waut to watch season's 5 and 6.

I never watched this show when it was running on HBO since I don't have cable and seldom watch TV. I only discovered "Sex and the City" from accidentally catching some reruns on syndicated TV, and liked it so much that I set about methodically renting every season from the beginning.

The 4th season shows a big change in style from the first 3: production values have increased, pop music becomes more central, the episodes become more polished and tightly edited, the writing becomes a little bit more mature and creative (season 3 had some dead spots where a few episodes got a bit repetitive).

So if you have a shorter attention span, you might find Season 4 is a good place to start. I enjoyed it as well as Seasons 1-3, but can't help noticing the perceptible shift. It's still one of the most intelligent, honest, and well-crafted TV shows to come out in the past 25 years. It just feels like they have hired a different team of writers and producers...

Carrie should ditch Big for good - Review written on August 08, 2005

Rating: 4 out of 5
1 customer found this review helpful, 11 did not.

How come Carrie is so obsessed with this man (Big)to hurt someone decent like Aidan. She should read Edith Wharton (Age of Inocence). One century ago, men like Big existed in New York like that character in the Wharton's novel, Archer who enjoyed a certain kind of woman, but will not marry her, he needed a society girl (a wife material)like May (or Natasha)for wife, and a entertainment girl at side, hidden somewhere. Carrie should have taken the cue when Big would not introduce her to his mother. For men, there are always girls to have fun with and girls that you marry for good. Women need to wake up and smell the coffee. So Carrie should stop her obsession for this kind of guy and really get someone who really is into her.

This review is not only for this particular season. I became hooked on Sex and the City when I started renting them because I didn't have HBO. I am obsessed and I've seen them all hundreds of times! I can honestly say that I can relate to each and every problem that Carrie goes through, and that is why I love the show. It has made me laugh, cry and get angry and I really mean that. How many shows can you say that about? If you are a woman (or man) of any age, you have to start watching this series because you will love the dry humor, the incredibly real characters and the way that you forget that there is even a script.
In my Opinion, the Best of SATC! - Review written on May 11, 2005

Rating: 5 out of 5

I recently got hooked on SATC when i received the first season as a gift. i was skeptical, i had never seen an episode while it was playing on HBO and always commented that it was all hype. i was wrong! I can't get enough! i now own all the seasons and watch them religiously. I would have to say that although i love watching the season where it all started and the final season, season four is the best. It has sooo much going on that is monumental in all the character's lives. I can watch these episodes over and over again from the fight between aiden and big, to the pregnancy, to the proposal to the season finale that includes a BIG move and a birth. This season is a classic and if you were to purchase only one season i reccommend this one. You WILL NOT be disappointed

Based on the bestselling novel by Candace Bushnell, the HBO original series Sex And The City took the television world by storm following its release in the summer of 1998. Following the exploits of four young and educated female friends living and working in New York City, the show revolves around the various relationships and life problems experienced by each member of the group. Sporting an experienced and talented cast, the show has developed a strong, borderline fanatic following...

Sarah Jessica Parker (the de facto lead character of the show) stars as Carrie Bradshaw, a popular sex columnist for a local newspaper who travels in numerous Manhattan social circles. Carrie is engaged in a tempestuous on-again, off-again relationship with a mystery man always referred to as "Mr. Big". The young urban professional shares her life with three best friends who have similarly interesting jobs - Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon), a lawyer tired of being single given the societal ramifications; Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), a promiscuous publicist who enjoys non-exclusive relationships; and Charlotte McDougal (Kristin Davis), an art museum curator who is relatively less open about her sexuality... Together, the women seek each other's advice on the ever-present and varying predicaments in which they find their romantic relationships...

The Sex And The City (Season 4) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "The Agony and the 'Ex'stasy" in which Carrie celebrates her 35th birthday. The milestone gives cause for the various women to reflect - Samantha is happy with her various sexual liaisons, Miranda realizes that marriage does not equate with happiness, Charlotte loses her appetite for Trey following a late night incident, and Carrie is disappointed when her dinner party bombs, but she perks up when Mr. Big arrives unannounced with a bottle of Champagne... Other notable episodes from Season 4 include "Defining Moments" in which each of the women defines a new set of boundaries in each of their various relationships, and "Baby, Talk is Cheap" in which Samantha meets a man who enjoys baby talk in bed and Charlotte and Trey decide against trying to conceive after attending a dinner party with their married friends and children...

Below is a list of episodes included on the Sex And The City (Season 4) DVD:

Episode 49 (The Agony and the 'Ex'stasy)
Episode 50 (The Real Me)
Episode 51 (Defining Moments)
Episode 52 (What's Sex Got to Do With It?)
Episode 53 (Ghost Town)
Episode 54 (Baby, Talk is Cheap)
Episode 55 (Time and Punishment)
Episode 56 (My Motherboard, My Self)
Episode 57 (Sex and the Country)
Episode 58 (Belles of the Balls)
Episode 59 (Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda)
Episode 60 (Just Say Yes)
Episode 61 (The Good Fight)
Episode 62 (All That Glitters)
Episode 63 (Change of a Dress)
Episode 64 (Ring a Ding Ding)
Episode 65 (A Vogue Idea)

This is my favorite show and most likely will be for many years to come. I have never seen a show more honest and respectful in it's portrayal of women. For example "COULD, WOULDA, SHOULDA" flawlessly deals with a topic as sensitive as abortion with grace, wisdom and most importantly fairness. I will always love this show for that. It's also refreshing to see that the main character does not look like the typical hollywood leading lady. Other strong episodes include; "THE REAL ME", "BELLES OF THE BALL" and " SEX AND THE COUNTRY" (very funny).

Each of the characters are amazingly well played by the actresses. SJP is amazing. If you watch her closely you will see so much detail in her expressions and movements, truly talented. Cynthia Nixon is so great because she isn't afraid to show it like it is. Kim Catrall is a great comedian and Kristen Davis plays Charlotte perfectly.

Something else that's worth mentioning is the music in this entire series. It's very fitting and well planned out.

I absolutely recommend this show. My boyfriend who rarely watches T.V let alone a show about women loves this one. When asked he said that even though this show is funny it always ends with something to reflect on. I can't say enough good things about this show, watch it and you will know what I mean.

Sex and the city is one of those rare TV shows that you can watch over and over and not get tired of the episodes. This is a wonderful collection to have and the fourth season definitely deliveres some of the best episodes of the Sex collection.

This is such a great season of 'Sex and the City'. Carrie realizes she still has feelings for Aidan and wins him back after the opening of his bar with Steve. Charlotte and Trey decide they need to seperate only to discover that their sex life is great once they seperated. They then try to have a baby. Miranda finds out she's pregnant just when Charlotte discovers she may not be able to have children. Miranda considers having an abortion, but realizes she couldn't do it. Samantha has a relationship with a woman painter but gets fed up when all they do is 'take baths and talk about feelings'. Her next relationship is with a businessman who at first doesn't take her seriosuly, but when she shows him she's got 'balls', he hires her and she begins to fall in love with him only to find out he's a womanizing jerk. Carrie and Big become friends, which is a nice change for them. There's a great episode when Carrie and Aidian are at his country house and Big comes. The fight between Big and Aidian is classic stuff. 'Sex and the City' keeps getting better and better.

I did not really appreciate Sex and the City until watching every episode sequentially on DVD. HBO tends to air random episodes out of sequence after their first showing and the show never really grabbed me until I discovered that there is actually plot and character development over time and not just endless brunches and mindless sex talk. For example, I did not know that Big appeared in the series from the beginning, and I never knew that Aidan and Carrie had been engaged before I started watching the DVDs from the beginning.

Anyway, that being said, I love this series and I would encourage anyone who has seen a few episodes and wondered what the fuss is about to take the time to watch the show from the beginning.

The Writer's Commentary on a few episodes on this DVD is generally not worth the price of the DVDs, in my opinion. He rarely tells us anything we couldn't notice ourselves, however, I had always wondered about the incident where Trey gives Charlotte a cardboard baby, which I understood as a plot device but thought was too tasteless a gesture to be plausible. I should have guessed that the "Cardboard Baby" was based on an actual experience and an example of truth being stranger than fiction.

I love "Sex and the City". The funny thing is I really didn't watch it until after it got canceled. Anyways, here's what happened.

Carrie(Sarah Jessica Parker)joins a fashion show. Then she and Aidan get back together. They get engaged and she hurts him...again.

Samantha(Kim Cattrall)dates a woman named Maria. Then she falls for Richard, her boss.

Miranda(Cynthia Nixon)gets pregnant and almost has an abortion.
In the end, she keeps the baby. She and Steve have a son named Brady Hobbs.

Charlotte(Kristin Davis)gets back together with Trey. They tried to have a baby, but fail. Trey decides not to have a baby.
And they end up apart again.

This is the funniest season of "Sex and the City". I can't wait to see seasons 5&6. Enjoy!

Sex and the City rules from a male perspective. I started watching Sex and the City with my mother when it first aired and have not be disappointed by the show. This review is based on the whole six series of SATC. All the main characters are honest, funny, and shares a similar desire. Carrie's character is a sex columnist for a newspaper. Carrie uses her own personal experiences as well as her girlfriends experiences to compose a column about men, women, sex, and relationships. Samantha is extremely sexually active women who works in Public Relations. Miranda is smart, self assured lawyer who is cynical which leaving her to fake her emotions about relationships. Charlotte is prim and proper Park Avenue women who goals are to get married and have a family.

The reason why I like SATC is because it give a comedic version on sex and relationships. No matter what happens to your own social life, you can watch SATC and share the same humorous episode of what Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte did, and learn to laugh a upon at your own situations. These six series will be treasured and revisited by me.

How old are these women supposed to be? I thought they were all over thirty, WHY then do they act like co-eds? It's embarrasing to grown-up women. The show used to be very cute and funny - in season 4 it's just nauseating. It feels as if a gay man is writing this show not an intelligent, witty woman.
Carrie is the most self-centered brat I've ever met...She had an amazing man in Aidan (although maybe unrealistic) and she couldn't see past her shoes - give me a break. I thought I might be losing touch, but both men and women I talked to had the same take on her. Charlotte has definately become the most likable character.
I haven't seen season 5 or 6 yet, let's hope it's better than 4!

While was such a good season for SATC, if you don't buy this for any other episode buy it for the last "I Love NY". Chris Noth is so amazing, so subtle and extremely easy on the eyes but never more poignant and romantic than this last episode. He was a gem of the series and I hate that he and Carrie aren't together and he will be gone from the series for the most part.Because "Moon River" is the theme throughout the entire episode is infused with a mixture of sadness, romance and all types of love. It was written before 9/11 but shown after and serves as a fitting tribute to the city.
The rest of the episodes are good of course, Sarah Jessica Parker particularly and you won't go wrong but you may find yourself in tears at the end!

There's only one word to describe Sex and the City.
AWESOME! This series is so funny it could make you cry. My favorite character is definetly Samantha played by Kim Catrall. She's heck a funny, although she only talks about sex, but still she is a hilarious actor. Next I like Carrie. There's something in her I like. Then Miranda. She's okay, but seems like she really hates men. Then there's Charlotte. I really don't like Charlotte. She's what I call a Cinderella. Wants a perfect marriage, although she marries a bald jew. Also she is dying to have a baby. I, a girl, like babies, but I can't imagine me having one. So there's all about Sex and the City, and like I said AWESOME!

I initially avoided SATC and dismissed it as mere fodder to pender to women's egoes.....how wrong was I to be! Now a 1000% committed fan I can't get enough of the escapades of Manahattan's finest in this series which I can only describe as coming together completely in terms of fulfilling characters - all of which have their own distinct identities, from self-doubting Carrie who is torne between singledom and marriage phobia with Aidan (who she finally reunites with), Charlotte, whose fairy-tale dream, wedding is about to turn into a nightmare marriage as the issues of procreaiotn fall on the table, to Miranda, the least relationship orientated career gal who is forced to re-evaluate herself and her priorities when she falls pregnant (the most unlikely mother) to our favourite sexual heroine Samantha Jones who treads on even more riqsue and tragi-comic boards by indulging in a lesbionic affair, with disastrous consequences and then finally does what she fears she never would - fall in love with a philanthropic multi-millionaire.

What is enchanting about this series is its directorial and narratorial unity. The theme of each show falls into place by then end and all themes are harmoniously tied by the closing captios. Few shows do this so well while balancing glam cinematography, glitzy Manhattan backdrops, cutting edge fashion and rasor sharp (and audibly challenging(!) risque dialogue)

Series 4 runs the gamut of all emotions (joy of romance and marriage, the frustrations of marriage, new-found sexuality, the doubt of engagements (see wot Carries does with her engagement ring). Enchanting, hilarious, sad and glamorous, this Season just sees SATC get better and better. Go, check it out...perfect for a girls' nite in or for sharing with yer boyfriend
