A hilarious, outspoken and outrageous look at dating, mating, and relating in New York, Sex and the City goes places network television can't with this release of its entire first five seasons and the first part of its sixth season (86 episodes). Sarah Jessica Parker stars as a New York writer who draws on her personal experiences -- and those of her friends -- for her newspaper column on the "relationship" habits of New Yorkers.

"[F]ashionistas can head to the designer credits..." -- Grade: A- 11/04/2005 p.59DVD Verdict 8 of 10
Sex and the City chronicles the life of acclaimed sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her three friends - Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha, as they live their lives in New York City trying to find a balance between personal relationships and lots of good sex, and the challenge of juggling the two together. Moving between moments of sexual absurdity and profound realism, the show is a cross-section of the modern day realities - both real and mythological - of single women in North American society, of women coming into social and sexual maturity simultaneously...Whether you love it or hate it, the show has had a cultural impact and deserves to be respected - if only for managing to push the boundaries of what a television show can actually get away with (the solution, it seems, is to have your show on cable), pulling gags and stunts that other shows could never even hint at. - Adam Arseneau
