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

1.0 out of 5 stars 1 Star for the price - 5 stars for the show! February 7, 2004

By April Glass

Format:DVD

I am a die-hard S&TC fan. I absolutely LOVE the show - and will definitely buy the 6th season disks - but COME ON!!! Haven't we (S&TC fans) shelled out enough dough for this show. Not only do we have to pay just to watch the show, but we buy the merchandise as well. The fifth season was ok - but full price for an 8 episode season? And now they're breaking the 6th season in 2 releases and charging full price for both? HBO - thy greed runneth over - WAY over!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is ridiculous! March 2, 2004

By A Customer

Format:DVD

I just want to state that I am one of the biggest sex and the city fans you'll meet, but I cannot believe that HBO is splitting season 6 up just so that they can charge us twice as much! I haven't even gotten myself to buy season 5 yet, and I'll probably hold off on buying this one as well. Yes, this is one of the best shows that has ever been on television, but considering the dvds have absolutely no special features and HBO is going to be showing every episode again in the upcoming months, I think I'll probably just be taping the episodes and saving myself $65.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Season disc "breakup" means my breakup with "City" May 5, 2004

By A Customer

Format:DVD

I bought the first four seasons on DVD and was happy with them. Charging full price for the very abbreviated Season 5 was not acceptable. Splitting up Season 6 in two sets- not acceptable either. I will never buy either of these seasons, even if they later reduce the price. Someone in HBO's video marketing group should be spoken to. This is grossly insulting to fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars To Those who want us to quit complaining... May 5, 2004

By S. A Jones

Format:DVD

I was a little shocked to see people saying to the complainers of the price to be quiet. One said why should we be surprised to pay $50 for part of Season 6 when we paid full price for 8 episodes in Season 5. We should be surprised because we also paid full price for Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 and got more than twice as many episodes. Just because they scammed us with Season 5 does not mean it is now OK to scam us in Season 6. 22 episodes of one season may end up costing us $100. 23 episodes of CSI, which are one hour long each is only $64. I love Sex and the City and have every season. It is my favorite show, but It is wrong to charge us so much for part of a season when it could easily be sold together. Just because it "is" does not mean it is right.
How will anyone know something is wrong if we tell them to shutup when someone expresses their dissatisfaction?

1.0 out of 5 stars HBO should really be ashamed...only HALF the season??? May 19, 2004

By A Customer

Format:DVD

Okay,

I bought this for my wife as a gift (like the other Sex in the City dvd sets). We haven't got HBO and so it's a bit of an exciting day when I bring the latest season home. Needless to say, I was pleased when the box from Amazon arrived.

What a letdown to find that this dvd set, priced like the others, is only half of the final season. HBO should really be ashamed at its ridiculous wringing of its customers for extra dollars. HBO dvd division, if you're reading this by chance, please know that YOU SUCK.

Thanks for doing us wrong at the very end.

So are you going to put the rest of the season on the Season Six Part Two disc? Or will there be a Season Six Part Three coming out later? Part Four? Why don't I just send you my bank account number and you can draft it once a month?

Punks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Love the show, but won't fall into HBO's greedy trap May 13, 2004

By A Customer

Format:DVD

I won't buy season 5 until it drops in price, and I won't buy part 1 of season 6 either. I am a very loyal fan but I can't justify spending that much money on partial additions to the collection. The pricing on season 5 really burned me. I can be patient; after all, I have HBO On Demand for my cable service, and the reruns are starting on TBS soon...
Sorry HBO. I already pay enough to get your channels. I have adequately supported your profit line this year, and this is the thanks I get?

1.0 out of 5 stars Are you kidding? March 4, 2004

By RatsOnParade

Format:DVD

I'd put off buying season 5 because of the astronomical price (considering how many episodes you actually get). Now they expect you to pay the same price for half of season six!? I love the show, but they released all the other seasons in their entirety. HBO, you're way too money hungry for me. I'm already paying to subscribe...I can't afford to piss my money into the wind on half a season! Disgraceful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Love the show...shame on HBO May 11, 2004

By Jonathan Wilborn

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

The show was amazing. Loved it, loved the characters, the stories. HBO however is plain and simple greedy with the pricing of the dvd sets for seasons 5 and the split season 6 sets. It is a slap in the face to fans that want to buy them. I bought seasons 1-4 and love them. They are worth the price even though you get 0 extras. No interviews at all, no special dvd behind the scenes nada. There is NO reason to split season 6 up in 2 except for them to make much more money. Greedy and shameful.
