Sex and the City – The Complete Series Collector’s Giftset

The second season builds on the foundation of the first season with plot arcs that are both hilarious and heartfelt, taking the show from breakout hit to true pop-culture phenomenon.
The third season was the charm, as the series earned its first Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series to go along with its Golden Globes for Best Comedy Series and Best Actress (Parker). One of this season's two principal story arcs concerned hapless-in-love Charlotte and her pursuit of a husband; enter (if only...) Kyle McLachlan as the unfortunately impotent Trey
The fourth season is just as smart and sexy as ever, mixing caustic adult wit and sharply observed situation comedy on the mean streets of Manhattan, though this time the quartet of singleton city girls must endure even tougher combat in the unending war of love, sex, and shopping.
It was a short but sweet fifth season, as HBO's resident comediennes found themselves affected by forces beyond their control--the pregnancies of both Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon.
After a long wait--like the entire fifth season--Carrie is dating again. The sixth season starts with Carrie and her sparkly new potential, Berger (Ron Livingston), trying to leave past relationships and hit it off, with mixed results.
With the last eight episodes of the sixth season, HBO's grand sitcom concluded, leaving untold numbers of women--and many men--feeling deprived. The six-year series certainly did not outlast its welcome; the final season is some of the best TV had to offer in 2004.

Lost – The Complete Seasons 1-3

As you might expect, the first season set includes the Pilot episode that has become almost TV legend at this point. The very diverse set of characters is introduced little by little through their interactions but more so through the flashbacks. We get to learn about the fateful events that brought them all together and how they cope with the stress of being ... well, Lost...
Season 2 is a very direct continuation of the ending of the first season. It does start to give the show more of a "24" like feel though. Mysteries are solved but more questions are raised than answered. And while we get a lot of background on key characters like Kate and Jack, it takes us a VERY long time to get there. There are a lot of riddles and red herrings thrown in to make you think and throw you off. Still, every episode has a value when you see things develop over all the seasons of the show.
Like the second season, Lost's third season was originally split into two sections with one more popular than the other. I still think all the episodes were important, though some do move faster than others. And speaking of "the others" they really start to take center stage in this season.
