Product Description
Join carrie samantha charlotte & miranda as they explore day-to-day & night-to-night world of single women. Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 02/13/2007 Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker Kristin Davis Run time: 540 minutes Rating: R

The third season was the charm for one of HBO's gold standard series, which earned its first Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series to go along with its Golden Globes for Best Comedy Series and Best Actress (Sarah Jessica Parker). The writing is as sharp as ever, with more trendy product placement than a Bret Easton Ellis novel and ribald banter that's a cross between the Algonquin Round Table and the Friars Club. One of this season's two principal story arcs concerned hapless-in-love Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and her pursuit of a husband; enter (if only...) Kyle McLachlan as the unfortunately impotent Trey. Meanwhile, sex columnist Carrie has a brief but memorable fling with a politician who's golden, but not in the way she anticipated. She then sabotages her too-good-to-be-true relationship with furniture designer Aidan (John Corbett) by having an affair with Mr. Big (Chris Noth), who himself has gotten married. "Do we need drama to make a relationship work?" Carrie muses at one point. Sex and the City needs drama to make it work, and Parker and Cynthia Nixon (as career woman Miranda), this ensemble's better half, give the show its pulsating heart as they wrestle with commitment and, in the episode "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," sadder-but-wiser breakups. On the lighter side, the sexual dalliances of "rude and politically incorrect" Samantha (Kim Cattrall) provide great fodder for comedy. Like I Love Lucy, the series benefited from a brief change of scenery with a three-episode jaunt to Los Angeles, where Carrie and company encountered, among others, Matthew McConaughey, Vince Vaughn, Hugh Hefner, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. At its best, to quote one character, Sex and the City is "sharp, edgy, brutal at times, always a little juicy." It may be "very New York," but the sex and relationship issues it tackles are universal. For its devoted fans, the release of this 18-episode, three-disc set is, to quote Gellar's clueless Hollywood junior development exec, "chick flick big." --Donald Liebenson

Love SATC September 22, 2008
Kula (USA)
I think in the 3rd season of SATC the series gets into its stride and it becomes the SATC that people have grown to love. It's a toss up which is my favorite between season 3 and 4 but my absolute favorite episode is Hot Child in the City found in season 3!
 The girls get some action, but also a little wisdom August 5, 2008
Joseph P. Menta, Jr. (Philadelphia, PA USA)
Containing eighteen solid episodes of laughs, bawdy doings, and occasional seriousness, "Sex and the City, The Complete Third Season" continues the whip-smart fun of the first two seasons while enriching the pot with additional flavors and nuances. While we do follow the progress of Charlotte's new marriage, this season is slightly more tilted toward the girls themselves- their feelings, their discoveries about themselves, the importance of their mutual friendship- than about who they're seeing romantically. I enjoyed that added attention to the inner life of the core cast. I also enjoyed- mild, broad spoiler here- how the season closed on a subtle grace note, with each of the girls facing a new, uncertain road before them, a road fraught with a little scariness (as they all seem to think to themselves, "what's in store for me?") but also laced with a little hope.
A Must Own Series! June 21, 2008
Merna D. Throne (USA)
No matter what your age or life is like every woman can relate to one or all of these ladies. Romance, finance, and disagreements 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....

One of the Best Seasons! May 30, 2008
C Wahlman (Merrillville, IN)

Season 3 & 4 rival each other, in my opinion, for best season. (Season 5 is definitely the most fun, and Season 6 is definitely the most serious of the bunch)
I love this season because the comedy is so fresh and fun. The storylines are great, and the fashion is in its most forward stage.
In this season, you will find such great quotes as: "I sound like a perverted Nancy Drew." Aidan is introduced and Big makes a steamy comeback, while Charlotte meets the man of her dreams Trey.
And the clothes in the 2 L.A. episodes are so outrageous: i.e. Carrie's neon green bathing suit and her hot pink sequin fanny pack.
Great season--must own!!!
