Sex and the City - Season Six Part I is excellent but hey what's worth dividing the last season into two parts? Nice marketing move HBO! Anyway season six really hits a home run for me. The writing, acting, and growth of each character is at its finest. Only twelve episodes but they are brilliant, heartwarming, and of course hilarious. Some of the standout episodes: To Market To Market, Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little, The Post-it Always Sticks Twice, and One. You'd think a show so hyped up when be overrated, but it is not, it's creative and groundbreaking. I highly recommend it!

This is probably my favorite season, I loved the paring of Samantha and Smith, some might say how can a woman her age get, what could possible be the hottest man on earth..but i say, Samantha is so sexy and unique, she could pull it off, I bought it. I also liked that the writers brought Berger back, and I liked the romance he and Carrie had, as for Charlotte, she was always my least favorite character, probably because ive been around women like her my whole life, started with Mom..it was good she landed a rich lawyer, and her conversion to the faith was funny, so her..yes she over looked Harry's hidieousness, but if he had not been rich and successful, she would never have given him the time of day..thats our Char..I always liked when the writers brought back Stanford and Anthony, they were both very funny..as for my favorite character Miranda, I loved that she and Steve where happy, she is the most authentic character and by far the best actress on the show, just go back and watch the episode when her mom dies..it was heartbreaking. Of course, id recommend buying any of the series, but this season is especially strong..but if you really love the series, just buy the box set..it's great.

It's an excellent series, we watched all at once, I already had the second part so we took a day off and watched the whole season. I't soooo funny!!!!!!

The set sent contained 3 discs. The inital shipment contained two disc number two's and one disc number three. I wrote Amazon and they immediately paid for return shipment and quickly returned a new dvd set. I was amazed at how quickly and efficiently amazon took care of the problem without much difficulty on my part. I will not hesitate to order ANYTHING from amazon in the future.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

After a dissapointin season 5 sex is back with part one of season six. I was so happy sex was back with what it dose best from the start of the season. I loved the charactors and everything about the show. We see Charlette fall for a normal guy, Meranda deal with work and having a baby and we see her fall for someone finally, Samantha dates an actor and falls for him, Carrie falls for a man and gets her heart broken and we also see someone get married. The season is one of it's best and I cant wait to see the part 2 the final part of the series.

This is the best season I've seen so far. It's great. More romantic and funnier. It's only half of the season though, and its price is full. But it's worth it, it is the best one so far. Will Carey ever find the true love or "the one"? I guess we will have to wait for another season.

I loved watching this series when it was on TV and I am glad that I can continue to visit with the ladies whenever I want to.

I adore the show and bought seasons 1-5 (5 reluctantly of course) in 2004 but I am still unable to pay full price for each part of the sixth season. Whenever I think I can suck it up and buy them, I get there and look at the prices and I can't do it. I haven't seen the sixth season since it aired on HBO and probably never will until they fix this. I've paid for HBO, paid full price for an eight episode season and now they're wanting me to pay $100 for one season?

I don't see them letting up though because I see now they've released more DVDs that are theme-specific like one is about breakups, one is about love. They're still trying to cash in on the show so I don't see the pricing changing which is very unfortunate. I hate having an incomplete series.

This is my favorite set of Sex and the City episodes. My husband and I have watched them over and over again. Love it!

What a waste of $$$. 30$ for half the shows for 1 session - I guess poor, poor HBO needed to come up with some way to rip off it's viewers so that it could make more money.

I recently purchased SATC season 6 pt 1 and in the words of SJP it's simply fabulous! A must for anyone who loves SATC.

This season had so many good messages to it even though it was coming near and end and loosing ideas but i loved this series it was inspiring and truthfull. The breast cancer issue was very inspiring

Resisted purchasing this rip-off of a (1/2) DVD especially following the letdown for Season 5 but finally succumbed to the temptation and have NO regrets - this is truly the gem of the six & 1/2 seasons and definitely a keeper!

The storyline metamorphosed into a more meaningful one with each and every character dealing with life/relationship's real issues - Charlotte's heartache over her initial infertility and subsequent miscarriage; Carrie's serial monogamy with a string of unworthy/unavailable men: Berger who was threatened by her success; Big who could not open himself up with full abandonment; her cute childhood sweetheart who was unfortunately on the verge of a nervous breakdown; though in the initial throes of attraction, her budding relationship with the suave Russian artist Petrovsky (read: womanizer/inability to commit) already spelt disaster; Samantha in face of ageing and her unwanted attachment to someone young enough to be her son; and Miranda's late discovery of her true feelings for Steve, the man whom she had rejected ad nauseam for not being good enough.

But the show truly belonged to Kristin Davis, who outshined the rest of the cast in her portrayal of the sweet idealist who determinedly converted to Judaism to marry the love of her life; worked hard at making things perfect in spite of the obstacles - there were shots of Charlotte's daily sacrifices, but the scenes where she broke down saying how much she missed her "Jew" following what turned out to be a false alarm of their break-up, not least the acute sadness which overcame her during the aftermath of her miscarriage, were particularly heart-wrenching.

This season was particularly special in that it evolved from what was veering toward a shallow portrayal of ""Sex" & the City" (ok, albeit still rife with the characteristic quirky retorts and rhyming one-liners) into an endearing, grown-up version of ""Love" & the City", celebrating the joie de vivre among friends and couples.

Totally looking forward to buying the second 1/2 to make my Season 6 collection complete.

Great comedy show. Every episode always holds my interest. The writing on the show is hilarious and will be a classic for years to come. Although Parker gets on my nerves sometimes with her $400 shoes, it's still a great show. Definitely a must rent or buy.

Even though the extra ulternate endings were awfull. The dvd is awesume. I truly love it. It was a great show, and a real jem. I watch it over and over again. You'll love this Dvd!

Very funny series, I loved it though I will never recommend it for women who are really serious about getting into a relationship with men. These women want men who are "perfect " 24 hours a day, for as long as they consider the men valid. Should the men present one iota of problem, they drag themselves to a nice restaurant, well dressed up to cast the judgement on the guys ( The women NOT even being perfection themselves). The women will only get so far as to get fun, not serious relationships. For a relationship to last, women should compromisse here and there, be more understanding, forgiving about the human nature. Nobody can be or is perfect all the time (not even the gals in these series). You want to cast the stone on men alone ? Continue being single, no need to waste time whinning. Have the relationship with TVYO.

Everyone complains about how season six is divided in half, but I don't care. I think part one and two both seem like different seasons. Part two is all about wrapping six years up, but [part one is more similiar to all the other years, and ranks as my favorite of all the sets you can get. This has a lot of my favorite episodes, like the one where Charlotte and Harry get married, the continuing story of Steve and Miranda, Carrie and Berger and Samantha and Smith. I also love when Miranda gets addicted to TiVo. I'm sure we've all gone through a time where we say, "To Hell with other people as long as I have my TV." Her reaction to Magda's accidental erasing of TiVo is priceless ("You sat on TiVo? Is he OK?"). Also, I love that Charlotte's willing to change her religion for her true love. Her and Harry have such a sweet relationship, and I also liked the show didn't go for cheap Jew jokes. All in all, the splitting didn't bother me at all, and there are plenty of classics within this collection. Buy it!

I agree with people who are angry about the packaging. I love all the HBO shows that have been released on DVD, but whoever designs and markets the SATC sets is insane. Releasing seasons in 2 halves is a ripoff, plain and simple. There is no reason for it. Of course I still love it so I cannot complain. IMO this is the best season since 3. Not that 4 and 5 were bad, but the stories not as compelling and the show hadn't really found it niche again like it did here. This season is fantastic the whole way through, and like the Amazon reviewer said, there is not a bad one here at all. Each episode is funny and smart and the writing is better than ever. Brilliant stuff. I am not a fan of the later eps as much mainly because I am not a fan of Baryshnikov's character

I agree with people complaining about this season because it was released in two parts but I also think that has nothing to do with the quality of the series.
The sixth season was the longest and the best, actually I've seen all the seasons and found them better one after the other. This first part with 12 episodes contains the comedy of season 3 and the maturity of season 4. It also shows how the caracters are finding their ways in life. Carrie starts dating a writer. The relationship seems serious in the beginning but then it has a twist and then on the last episode Carrie meets someone very special.
Charlotte falls in love with her divorce lawyer and becomes jewish while she tries to get married with him. Miranda's nights become strange when she spends every night watching a series where a white woman falls in love with a black guy who lives in her same building and that actually becomes a reality in her own life, but again there's a big twist on the last episode of this part of the season. Finally Samantha gets where she or any viewer would have ever thought. She dates and has sex with just one guy during the 12 episodes. This guy was a waiter in one restaurant and Samantha wanted to have on-night-stand with him which she has but then she meets with him again in a party and then she finds him special and she helps him very much when she makes him become a star. (That doesn't mean that there are not funny scenes, yes there are several funny scenes).
If you have seen the seasons before this one, this one is a must have to continue with the story. And if you have seen some episodes, I'd strongly recommend you to watch Sex and the city from the very first episode on season one.

HBO Video is releasing Sex and the City: The Complete Series on November 1st. The mammoth twenty-disc box set will include all ninety-four episodes from the six seasons that the show aired. As for bonus materials, all the extras from the previous season sets will be included. An additional disc of new bonus features has been created for this release and will contain a trivia game, guest appearance highlights, as well as various guides to fashion, restaurants and dating advice. The "super-premium" set will be packaged as a decorative velvety photo album coffee table book. Retail will be hernia-inducing $299.95

I was very excited to watch the last season. This one was one of the best. After somewhat disappointing 5th season with only 8 episodes, season six part one was great and back to its original fun, and witty ways.
I was glad there were 12 episodes in part one of season six. The story lines were finally related to the previous seasons, and it was good to see a flow in the story lines.
One of the best seasons, very funny!!!

I was a fan of "Sex and the City" right from the start, and I believe the writers of the series came up with an ending for the series that was pitch perfect. Each of the four main characters grew as a person during the course of the series, and each character developed in a way that was consistant with her personality.

The final four episodes of the series finds the ladies being called upon the deal with some decidedly grown-up issues: Miranda takes her aging mother-in-law into her home, Samantha deals with breast cancer with bravery and humor. The last two episodes, "An American Girl in Paris," are quite well-written, with Carrie dropped into a fantasy world of Parisian fashion and old-world romance with the Russian, and SJP does a good job portraying Carrie's longing for the city she loves and her friends as dark side of her fantasy life becomes apparent.

As the series draws to an end, there is no quadruple wedding (the show's single fans would have stormed HBO's office with pitch forks if that had happened,) there is no miracle pregnancy for Charlotte. The show was always much tell well written for such a pat and unrealistic ending. Yet, the final episode ends with each of the ladies with prospects for a happy future. And, yes, I swooned when the oh-so-elusive Mr. Big showed up in Paris to claim Carrie for his own.

My only problem with the DVD is the one that many others seem to have: HBO should have never have split the final season into two DVDs. This behavior is disrespectful to the shows loyal fans for two reasons: 1.) The shameless greed it shows. 2.) Fans had to wait several months for the final four episodes. They simply are not providing good value for the money.

Also, I might add that the extras on the Season 6, Part 2 DVD are nothing special. For the extra expense and wait that HBO forced the "Sex and the City" fans to go to, there should have been much more.

I've been a fan of the show for a while now. I started buying up the DVD sets as they came out... impatiently awaiting the next installment in the series.

When Season 5 came out, I was severely disappointed to see them charge full price for 8 hurried episodes. They could've put them all on one disc and sold it for $20... but this is the money machine. They've already roped us in with the first four seasons. Why not drag it out in the end?

So now here's season 6. We are required to pay $65-80 to get the full season? Are you kidding me? I still haven't even seen season 6. I don't want to pay for it. Maybe I'll just go rent it.

I hope whoever made that decision reads these reviews. Shame on you.

When the show was on TV regularly, my household did not have HBO as part of the cable package. For the years "Sex and the City" was on , I always watched the award shows (Emmys, Golden Globes, etc) and I never got what all the hoopla about "Sex" was. A few weeks ago my friend recieved this season for a christmas gift. I had never seen a single episode prior to the final season. But I loved all of them. Me and my girlfriends are always in the mood to watch a little "Sex and the City" when we are feeling down in the dumps and need a good laugh. These women go through everything in the book when it comes to men and relationships. You can relate to all of the situations in some way.
It amazes me how someone could write a show like this. That's talent right there. Some may call this type of show perverse and totally immoral but I call it hysterical! I wish I could have enjoyed the show when it was still on the air. Thank God for DVDs!

I got into "Sex" just as the sixth season began, and enjoyed the first five seasons. This one is also great.

It's a sad fact, though, that the DVD extras on many series are usually not that good. I got tired of past voiceovers that were mainly recitations of what a genius the director/producer/hairdresser/lighting grip is.

My main gripe is with the Museum of Radio and TV seminar. I didn't get past the intro, which has some speaker who cannot seem to put two words together without stuttering. His intro has such gems as "New York in the, uh, post-, uh, -11, uh, era."

I gave up on it before Ms. Nixon was introduced.

Looking forward to the alternate endings for Part Two.

I loved the show and wish it was still on the air because the knock offs just don't compensate for the real thing. However, I have a few criticisms of these DVD's, my first criticism is that season 6 is divided in half. They should charge us one price for one season. Will they charge us full price for the last half of season 6 too? It appears so. How much more does corporate America need to bilk out of fans of this fabulous show?

My last criticism is the lack of extras on the DVD's. For a 30 minute per episode series, there should be a plethora of interviews, featurettes and so forth, especially at the prices charged for these disks but when you pop them into your DVD player, there isn't very much there by way of extras.

If you're an absolute die hard fan and are going to watch these DVD's a hundred times, I would recommend buying them. For those viewers who aren't going to watch the DVDs that many times Netflix has them for rent. You pay less than $20 a month to rent as many DVDs as you can watch and send back in 30 days. They even have a risk free trial offer that you can cancel after the two weeks, if you want. You can rent the DVDs that way, get your fix and not feel bad about being ripped off.

I got hooked on this show after watching a few episodes on TBS. Since then I've rented the first five seasons, plus the first twelve episodes of Season 6 (the ones on this DVD). My friends and I are eagerly awaiting the release of Part II later on this month.

As I have said, there are only twelve of the twenty episodes from Season 6 (due to that fact that Season 5 was so short). Some of the best episods from the whole show come from this season, in which Charlotte converts to Judaism to marry Harry, Samantha reaches some kind of intimacy with Smith, Carrie dates Berger (who later breaks up with her via Post-It note), and Miranda, who juggles having a baby with her career wile still being in love with Steve. The episodes:

1) To Market to Market
2) Great Sexpectations
3) The perfect present
4) Pick a little, Talk a little
5) Lights, Camera, Relationship
6) Hop, Skip and a Week
7) The post-it always sticks twice
8) The catch
9) A woman's right to shoes
10) Boy, interrupted
11) The Domino effect
12) One

Enjoy!

all great things must come to an end this is true of shows and of everything else. i can attest to the fact that sex and the city changed my life. it gave me confidence and the power to work it no matter what. there were not that many exciting and edgy shows on television before sex and the city and it because a reason for everyone in my dorn to come together. it takes a great show to do that and this was definately a great show. Sex and the City, I salute you. thank you.

I purchased the entire 6th season from Amazon.uk. Surprise, Surprise when I inserted the dvd I was informed that "PLAYBACK PROHIBITED BY AREA LIMITATIONS"! In other words I spent $52.00 for something that I can not use. Question: What is an area limitation? Can this only be played on DVD units manufactured in Europe?

I've only been a fan of Sex and the City for a little while, but the show clipped with me very quickly, and I decided I'd buy the sets on DVD. I was not happy when the 8-episode 5th season cost the same as the 20 episode other seasons. I was even less happy when the studio released this truly cheap set. After five "Complete Seasons," we now have two "Parts" of season six. It just doesn't go. In addition to that, they're the same price as the complete seasons, even though they're only half a season each. I'd much rather have six nice complete seasons. I'm sure after everyone buys the uber expensive six season pack, new editions'll be released with documentaries, commentaries, extra footage, blah blah blah. Life is hard.

Show: 6/5

DVD 1/5
