Romantic, witty, and irresistible TV candy
In 1998, just as the so-called "king" of all sitcoms was ending, Darren Star (creator of "Melrose Place" and "Beverly Hills, 90210") created his own - "Sex and the City," very loosely based upon the book by reknowned columnist and socialite Candance Bushnell. The series revolved around the misadventures of Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) and her group of self-obsessed girlfriends: successful lawyer Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), whose seemingly constant single status has led many to believe she's homosexual; naive Charlotte (Kristin Davis), whose life revolves around marriage; and Samantha (Kim Cattrall), who may have slept with every man in New York - on numerous occasions. Together, these young, beautiful, and talented women struggle through the late-90s (and eventually early millennium) dating scene, wondering why they're single, what makes men tick, and just looking for love in the Big Apple.

The first season, which aired in 1998, includes 12 delightful episodes. Within the first few enough personality types have been mentioned (such as "Modelizers," those who are addicted to sleeping with models) and enough ridiculous events have occurred to make the series potentially as memorable and quotable as "Seinfeld." The largest story of the first season revolves around Carrie's uncertain relationship with the mysterious Mr. Big ("Law & Order"'s Chris Noth). Carrie knows she loves him, deeply and truly, but does he love her?

"Sex and the City" is one of those series that makes you thank your lucky stars for HBO. The freedom that comes with running a show on HBO is incredible. There is uncensored and restrainless nudity and foul language (which may put off the more timid viewer), an essential part of the show. I imagine that without this, the show wouldn't have been anywhere near as popular or even as good, and on any normal station would probably have flopped. (To see what I mean, watch the HBO version of one episode, and then watch that same episode during the edited TBS re-runs.)

Not that the show's all about getting naked and cursing. There's much more here, particularly a stellar cast. Parker is a heroine for the 90s, and the other girls are normal enough for us to sympathize, but also more than funny enough to keep us entertained. Noth is unquestionably the male highlight, a tall, dark, and devilishly handsome man whose mysterious nature just adds to his charm. The cast is supported by writing that's thoughtful, witty, and creative. Unlike Meredith Grey's episodic musings on "Grey's Anatomy," Carrie Bradshaw's are truly meaningful, and I'm sure legions of women can identify with the problems faced by Carrie and her gang.

All in all, the first season of "Sex and the City," though short (each episode runs a mere 23 minutes on average), is a blast. The characters are down-to-earth and very human, the cast is brilliant, and if the show's attitude toward men is a little chauvinistic, the exemplary writing more than makes up for it. It's romantic, it's fun, it's clever - "Sex and the City" is an irresistible piece of TV candy that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to try a new flavor.

NOTE: If you are at all familiar with the show, or even have a hunch that you'll like it, I'd recommend you shell out the money to purchase the complete series set, a gorgeous package and a MAJOR improvement over the pitiful single-season releases.

Good deal
Best bargain out there. Plus, almost every woman loves SATC so it'll be a sure hit if you're clueless as to what to get for that special someone.

season 1
sex and the city season 1. Fantastic. The stories are still good. I don't like the format/setup of the first season, or first few episodes, but it gets better from there. Love the show.

I got this in no time at all but the box was really badly torn and it had been taped up I hate when I have broke DVD boxes.
