| DVD Description 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 |

The end of a Sexual Era The end is near with the release of Season Six of SEX IN THE CITY. And this collection of the first half of the final 36 episode season sets up the ending of a great series. This season begins with Carrie's budding romnace with Berger (Ron Livington of "Office Space") and not everything is as good as Carrie wish it to be. Sex is bad, Berger's reaction to the ex is bad, but Carrie couldn't want Berger more than ever. The rest of the girls are also maturing in their relationships as Sam struggles being someone's girl friend the ultra hot (to whom I am not sure) Smith Jerrod, Miranda with Blair Underwood and then,,, She wises up and wins back Steve. Plus a well written and not overly sappy or whiney baby-less marraige of Charlotte and Harry. This season bring back Sex's best new character Anthony for Charlotte to fag hag with, and of course the charming Magda who is determined to butt in where she doesn't belong. HBO angered many by not releaseing the entire season, but this is better than waiting 2 years or until Christmas for this DVD. We got, we need to love and watch it.
A rip-off I was annoyed at how they split the last season into 2 parts...do the producers really need the money? For only a few episodes, you definately don't get your what you pay for. However the show is refreshingly funny and a must own if you love SATC. The episodes are hilarious even though you can sense some sadness in the air..
WAITING WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BRING OUT PART 2 OF SEASON SIX?! IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO BUY THIS WHEN YOU CAN BUY THE ENTIRE SERIES ONCE PART TWO IS OUT. YEAH WE COULD NETFLIX IT, BUT FOR THE DIEHARD FANS WHO WANT TO ENJOY CARRIE & CO. FOR THE LONG HAUL, WE NEED PART 2! C'MON HBO, GIVE UP THE GOODS! |
