A 20-disc set for 'Sex' maniacs

Banking on a new audience interested in uncut "Sex and the City" episodes, HBO Video will release the complete series in one DVD set in November.
The package, hitting stores Nov. 1, will include all 94 episodes on 19 discs, along with a 20th disc of bonus material.

"For the ultimate fan, it's almost like having a coffee-table DVD," said Cynthia Rhea, senior vice president of marketing at HBO Video. "We also think there's an opportunity for more recent fans, who might have discovered it on TBS."

During its heyday on HBO, "Sex and the City" averaged about 8 million viewers.

However, as part of TBS' lineup, the show can potentially reach many more.

And in the fall, it will air on Tribune-owned stations such as WPIX/Ch. 11.

But the episodes have been sanitized a bit for broadcast television, leaving out sex and sexually frank talk.

"Sex and the City: The Complete Series" doesn't come cheap: It has goes for $299.95.

"It really is the complete collection, the ultimate fan collection," Rhea said. "I don't think it will be for everybody. But the show does speak to its fans in a certain way. ... We know many of the buyers of the series on DVD are ardent fans who have seen every episode several times."

$300 is crap for just new packaging. I have all 7 sets (since season 6 made two sets) and paid much less than $300 for those.

That's right! $300 is too much for a 20-DVD set. I still have all 7 of the "Sex and the City" DVD sets instead of the whole 20-DVD package which will going to be out in November.
