Now you can achieve multiple viewings of the best Sex on TV. Winner of Golden Globes for Best TV Series and Best Actress, Sex and the City is based on Candace Bushnell's provocative bestselling book. Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Carrie Bradshaw, a self-described 'sexual anthropologist,' who writes 'Sex and the City,' a newspaper column that chronicles the state of sexual affairs of Manhattanites in this 'age of un-innocence.' Her 'posse,' including nice girl Charlotte (Kristin Davis), hard-edged Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and party girl Samantha (Kim Cattrall)--not to mention her own tumultuous love life--gives Carrie plenty of column fodder. Over the course of the first season's 12 episodes, the most prominent dramatic arc concerns Carrie, who goes from turning the tables on 'toxic bachelors' by having 'sex like a man' to wanting to join the ranks of 'the monogamists' with the elusive Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Meanwhile, Miranda, Cynthia, and Samantha have their own dating woes, few of which can be described on a family Web site. Seinfeld has nothing on Sex and the City when it comes to shallow, self-absorbed characters or coining catch phrases. Episode 2, for example, introduces the term 'modelizer': a guy who is obsessed with and will only date models. Some may accuse this series of male bashing. But women, after years of enduring shows with 'men behaving badly,' will relish the equal time. Some may blanch at the ladies' graphic language and ribald humor, or dismiss some of the situations as unrealistic (Carrie doesn't bat an eye when she discovers that an artist friend surreptitiously videotapes his sexual conquests). Still others will view Sex and the City as documentary. Regardless of your view, this groundbreaking series will have you longing for more. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Season 1 - Sex & City DVD
Very happy with the product that I purchased. Only negative feedback is that an episode listing is missing, although easy enough to download this off the internet. Also the cover is a little flimsy and not a standard locking case. Other than the superficial aspects, the dvd's are great.
Rating:  - Nothing but a glorified sitcom and overrated to high hell....
Many people out there look at this series as a mature, adult show about women and their real problems. This show is neither mature nor adult. This show is really just a glorified sitcom, with dirty talk and some very short (and not erotic) sex scenes. The 4 women are very superficial, and are not very realistic. Constantly eating out at posh restaurants in Manhattan (there are other burroughs in NYC, such as Queens and Brooklyn, where it is much cheaper to eat) every day, sleeping with a different man each week, buying as many things as they can, partying all hours of the night, and they still find time to work their professional jobs. These women are supposed to be "professionals", but if that were the case, they would never be able to keep up their lifestyles (even with doing Red Bulls and coke all day). I feel that these women are very unhappy, and they look for fullfilment through a hedonistic lifestyle. I hark back to the 1960's in the films L'avventura and La Dolce Vita, where this kind of lifestyle was depicted as cheap (spiritually speaking), hollow, shallow, and depressing (and it still is, regardless of what the media may tell you). Most of their affairs are quite meaningless, it's mostly sex without emotion, and the conversations remind me more of locker room talk written by sitcom writers. And the sex scenes (which many people told me they were so hot) are tepid at best. I have seen films by European art filmmakers (Bertolucci and Breillat, to name a few) that are light years more honest ... Read More
Rating: - The first season hit the jackpot!
Sex and the City - The Complete First Season is fantastic! The writing, acting, and chemistry between these 4 ladies is just magic. My favorite episode from this season is The Baby Shower where Carrie thinks she could be pregnant. Only 12 episodes but they are worth every penny. Buy it today!
Rating: - Intelligent Entertainment
From the my first viewing of Sex in the City on HBO, I was smitten. My husband remarked that he felt like a fly on the wall listening to what women talk about to each other. He loved Samantha but later settled on Charlot as his favorite caracture. I started out liking Carrie, but also ended liking Charlot best for her womanity but admiring Maranda for her no non-sense views. The first series is great, and to see the episodes uncut and uncensored makes the humor. I bought this for my husband and will get the whole set.
