Based on the bestselling novel by Candace Bushnell, the HBO original series Sex And The City took the television world by storm following its release in the summer of 1998. Following the exploits of four young and educated female friends living and working in New York City, the show revolves around the various relationships and life problems experienced by each member of the group. Sporting an experienced and talented cast, the show has developed a strong, borderline fanatic following

Sarah Jessica Parker (the de facto lead character of the show) stars as Carrie Bradshaw, a popular sex columnist for a local newspaper who travels in numerous Manhattan social circles. Carrie is engaged in a tempestuous on-again, off-again relationship with a mystery man always referred to as "Mr. Big". The young urban professional shares her life with three best friends who have similarly interesting jobs - Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon), a lawyer tired of being single given the societal ramifications; Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), a promiscuous publicist who enjoys non-exclusive relationships; and Charlotte McDougal (Kristin Davis), an art museum curator who is relatively less open about her sexuality Together, the women seek each other's advice on the ever-present and varying predicaments in which they find their romantic relationships

The Sex And The City (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Where There's Smoke" in which Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte go to Staten Island to judge the New York City Fire Department's "Calendar Contest". Carries becomes interested in an enterprising politician, and Charlotte decides she needs to get married by year's end. Meanwhile, Samantha hits it off with a fireman who has to leave when a call comes in and Miranda comes to terms with some personal thoughts as a result of her visit with the firemen Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Attack of the Five Foot Ten Woman" in which Carrie runs across Mr. Big's wedding announcement and Samantha finds a spa where the massage therapist is reported to do a little 'extra,' and "Are We Sluts?" in which each of the women encounters a problem associated with their revolving door relationships
