5 out of 5 stars The start of something Big..., January 14, 2002
Reviewer: Kira C. Hodge (see more about me) from Los Angeles, CA USA
The Sex and the City-The Complete First Season is a great item for those who don't have cable TV (unlike me). I get HBO just to watch these shows. Most of the year I don't have HBO, but when June comes, I rush to get it. I have all of the first, second, and third season on tape, but this is a great gift idea for friends. I will probably buy this for one of my family and friends for birthdays or holidays (just to get them as addicted as I am). The great thing about this show is that every woman can see a little bit of herself in every one of the characters. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is the character I most relate to because of her fashion sense and her personality (very similar to mine). Samantha (Kim Catrall) is the woman that most women vilify, but wish they were like. She is so bold, daring and downright outrageous. There is a little Samantha in everyone. Miranda is the workaholic of the bunch who seeks perfection in everyone and everything. She is bold like Samantha, but in a different way. Charlotte is the one who you find endearing. Her search for her Prince Charming with a Madison Avenue job and Park Avenue apartment is something to watch. She goes through so many frogs, it is hilarious to watch.

This is the season that all of the newer fans must see. The first season gives insight into each of the four main characters (it relies more on the book (written by Candace Bushnell-a great read) in its descriptions of the characters ). It includes the beginning of the relationship of Carrie & Mr. Big and the first break-up (to be followed in the next few seasons by many more). It also includes the many misadventures of Miranda, which makes this season all the funnier. Samantha is at her vampiest. Charlotte is not as prudish and judgemental in this season (something to see). It may not be the best season of the show (which is season 3), but remember there would not be a show without this season.

This show has all of the elements that keep you tuning in. This is a must buy for fans of the later seasons. Buy it!!! --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Fabulous!, June 12, 2000

Top 500 Reviewer Reviewer: Carrie Hampton (see more about me) from Columbus, Ohio
I'm a very happy woman. Now, that I have "Sex in the City" as part of my own personal collection I'm thrilled. This wonderfully funny, sexy and amazingly acted HBO show is my favorite. There is NOTHING else like it. NO WHERE. The cast of four female characters is wonderful. Sarah Jessica Parker is a wonderful Carrie and I just love Kim Catrell as Samantha. This amazing show is brought to TV from the great book by Candance Bushnell's wildly popular book by the same name. To be honest I have been a longtime fan of the book and was worried that TV couldn't do it justice...well, I was wrong. Dead wrong. This show has gone beyond what I could have hoped for. I love watching these four ladies as they make their lives threw New York City. It gives us (from the midwest..etc) as chance to live threw them. And, it's such a great.

*And, if NOTHING else, the romance and chemistry between Carrie and Big to do die for. Chris Noth is a brilliant addition to a "woman friendly" world. He's just wonderful.

Buy it...Buy it NOW! --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.

4 out of 5 stars DVD Transfer is decent, and menus are hard to navigate, September 25, 2002
Reviewer: icelord20@hotmailcom (see more about me) from Grayson KY, USA
This is the first season of the hit show from HBO "Sex and the City". It has a cast of good characters inclugin Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Catrall, Kristin Davis and Cythia Nixon.

HBO brings the first season of their hugely successful series Sex and the City to DVD in a double-disc package that includes bonuses such as a short, "making of" featurette, cast and crew biographies, and website access. Though the network's willingness to bring the show out on home video so soon after its debut is admirable, a few frustrating problems plague the set. First of all, the video transfer leaves something to be desired: slight but noticeable grain pops up occasionally, particularly during daytime scenes. The discs' menus are also somewhat clumsy and not easily navigable, and though the set's clear packaging is pretty, it offers little information about the discs inside. However, these are fairly minor complaints that shouldn't stop the series' fans from enjoying this set -- the show's sharp dialogue and performances still shine. While more substantial extras would have been welcome, such as commentary from the show's directors or stars, Sex and the City is a step in the right direction from HBO to get their series on DVD. With any luck, the upcoming Sopranos set will benefit from the experience the network gained from this package, and hopefully pave the way for The Larry Sanders Show, Arliss, and Mr. Show sets in the not too distant future.

DVD Features include Featurette, Award Nominations, and Research Info.

5 out of 5 stars Great Way to Beat Summer TV Doldrums, September 8, 2002
Reviewer: Sheryl L. Katz (see more about me) from Chatsworth, CA USA
My partner and I love to sit in the evening after the day's work is done and watch a movie or something on TV. Frequently, we've worked and done chores until late in the evening and there isn't time to watch an entire movie. We like to watch whatever TV shows we might have taped. But in the summer, and sometimes even the rest of the year, there just isn't enough on worth watching to come up with even 1/2 of TV watching for a night. We decided to try buying some DVDs of TV shows we thought we'd like.

Sex and the City is perfect for this. We've enjoyed it from the beginning but it actually gets better after the first year because the characters deepen. All the actors are excellent, but I particularly enjoy Kim Catrall whose comic timing is impeccable and who has to be the current master of the comedic doubletake. This show makes me laugh out loud. I definitely knew women just like these when I was young and single and living on the east coast.

The episodes even get funnier when you watch them more than once. --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.
