It was a short but sweet fifth season for Sex and the City, as HBO’s resident comediennes found themselves affected by forces beyond their control–the pregnancies of both Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie) and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda). Even though this isn’t the Sex And The City Box Set, this is a truncated shooting schedule to accommodate the actresses forced this season to be reduced to a mere eight episodes, and indeed, you can tell both actresses are expecting. (Carrie’s wardrobe became more outlandish and more concealing than usual.) Still, …

A short but just as sweet season of Carrie and friends
The fifth season of the vastly entertaining “Sex and the City” features eight funny, sexy, and occasionally poignant episodes of New York chic-ness.

Rip off…
The fifth season was not good at all…can you say boring? And the lack of episodes for the price is unfair. BOOOO!

I am an avid watcher of Sex and the City, I adore the show. However, I think other fans will agree with me when I say that Season 5 was pretty much the lowpoint of the series. I record all of the episodes of every season and watch them frequently . . . I haven’t touched my Season 5 tapes since it aired.
Initially, it was supposed to be 13 episodes (instead of the normal 18) to accomodate Sarah’s pregnancy. We were supposed to get 8 episodes in the summer and then she was to return to the show for 5 more episodes the following spring. As you can see, that never happened. We were left with 8, “okay” episodes.
My main complaint and its a big one, is the pricing of the DVD “set”, if you can call it that. This is the shortest season of the series, 8 episodes, compared to the normal 18. Now why in hell would I pay just as much money for 8 episodes as I would for 18? I mean, maybe if they’d added some special features to this set to make up for a lack of episodes, I might consider buying this. However, knowing what I do about the Sex and the City DVDs I own, I highly doubt that anything has been added.
In short, I cannot recommend this purchase simply because HBO is asking the same from us (monetarily speaking) and only delivering about a quarter of what they have in the past (episodes and episode quality). Even though I love the series, I will not purchase this item.

My daughter owned all the SATC dvd series except for season five. I purchased this product from Amazon. It was delivered quickly and at a great price. The seires was great.

Since season 5 was cut short due to Sarah Jessica Parker’s pregancy, I think they should combine season 5 and 6 for one price instead of charging the same thing for only 8 episodes. I adore Sex and the City and will miss it dearly. At least I have my DVDs to watch over and over. I love my “girls of summer”!!!

Short
The 5th season is the shortest one and it leaves you wanting and wishing there were more episodes. But the ones that are included in season 5 are great.

A short, but sweet season, I love the fun of season 5.
Of all the heavy relationships, serious issues, and “true life” this show tends to embody, season 5 is nice…
