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). 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, the actresses and creators forged ahead, creating a handful of episodes that if short in content were long on emotion and laughs. Whereas the fourth season found all four grappling with various relationships, the fifth season focused on the perils of being single, with a new intensity lacking in the previous sexcapades. Carrie and Miranda wrestled with their solitary lifestyles, albeit with new attachments--Miranda had new baby Brady and single motherhood, while Carrie found herself in the world of publishing as the author of a real-life book of her columns. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) wondered if she'd ever find another man, while Samantha (Kim Cattrall) finally got rid of the one that had been vexing her far too much, hotelier Richard (James Remar). If the season as a whole felt less than the sum of its parts, those parts were some of the best comedy in the show's history, from Samantha's anointment as the "Michiko Kakutani of vibrators" to Carrie's stressful, one-degree-from-fiasco book launch party. (And fear not, Chris Noth's Mr. Big does pop up now and again.) The season's climactic episode, "I Love a Charade," found all four at the straight wedding of a seemingly gay pal (Nathan Lane) and contemplating their future with a wry, bemused tone. It was one of the series' best episodes ever, equally touching and funny, and grounded the show in an emotional maturity that announced that after all their wild travails, these women had truly grown up. --Mark Englehart

- Great Sex!
I have found that all of the Sex And The City DVDs are Great!!If you're a lover of this series, being able to watch them all again is really fun.There have even been a few that I hadn't seen!
Rating: - 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. Its the season where Charlotte and Harry meet and Berger and Carrie try to start a romance. I hate how this season has so few episodes but still costs the same as the other seasons that have 3 times as many episodes.
Rating: - A Must Own Series!
No matter what your age or life is like every woman can relate to one or all of these ladies. Romance, finance, anddisagreements among friends.
I love having my series collection to watch whenever I miss New York!
You won't be disappointed in having this seasons episodes!
Now all I need is the Movie DVD! :) Coming soon....

Rating: - I have the most fun with this season
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 for its frivolity.
True it is shorter than any other season, but a savvy shopper can find it for a smaller price (if Amazon ever fails, try a video rental sale when they sell their former rentals)
The episodes make you happy to be a girl! "Anchors Away" is great, soo many boobs, all of them seen by ... Read More
Rating: - No problems
This product seemed like it took a long time to be shipped to me, but it was still within the time frame. Usually the product seems to get to me faster, even with the lowest priced shipping. Otherwise, no problems
