I love it. I've rented all the DVDs, which, BTW are a hell of a lot racier than the cut-down repeats on reg. TV. The hilarious one w/ "Mr. Pussy" never made it to re-runs.

I grew up in NY, & now live on the west coast, so it's like a little visit back to my home city.
I think the writing is pretty witty at times. It's nice to see intelligent, (for TV) women who support one another as central characters, & are sexual being w/o portrayed as one-dimensional bimbos or dragon ladies. It's definitely broken some barriers.

I find the shows are a lot of fun. I mean, c'mon... who in real life could afford those clothes? Even the awful fashion victim ones are fun to dis. Or have hot & cold running men available, or that kind of real estate? It's a hoot to recognize some similarities to men my friends & I have dated (or just boffed)...An entertaining blend of utter fantasy w/ some wry reality. And yeah... some of the characters may not be as far out as you think. Charlotte's uber-WASP old money first husband who said "alrighty"? Those people really exist. So do some of the other characters who've come & gone.

Of course few NYers live in a world anything like the one portrayed in Sex & the City... Steve, the Irish-Catholic bartender from a Brooklyn working-class background is a lot closer to RL. Naturally he marries Miranda the lawyer & they move to a gorgeous brownstone in Brooklyn, which is actually the hipster place these days... Heheh... the semi- slum my grandparents worked their way out of is now primo spendy real estate.

And yes, I know a few women who don't care for Sex & the City, & a few straight guys that love it. It's just a TV show... Hey, I also like "The Deadliest Catch", about fisherman in the Bering Sea. How macha is that?

I'd love to see an episode called "Girlfriends Getaway to Red Hook." Wherein the ladies meet actual people of color, & shop for hair extensions where the sistas do.

"My favorite women in a TV show are still the lushes of AbFab. "

Me too!!!

AbFab was wonderful! We need more women like Patsy and Adena, if only to make us feel better about ourselves :D I never got into Sex and the City. My roommate has the first season on DVD, so at her prompting I watched the first episode, but was never interested enough to watch more. She did get me into America's Next Top Model, though, so I can't claim that I don't like "girly tv"...and I must admit to owning the first series of Desperate Housewives, though I lost track of what was going on currently in the show ages ago.

Yeah I have it pretty good since haha. Sailing 7 or more months a year keeps me from rotting in front of a TV. I don't suffer much lol.

Sex in the city is one of my fav shows along with the L word. I don't have cable and get DVD's all the time and have all day n nighters watching them when I need down time. If I had that kind of money to go shopping for Manolo Blahnik's sp I would be in heaven.

Not TV, HBO.

**Snicker**

ive only seen it a few times and the one time i did i really liked it. She was looking into a shoe store window and said as if she were in total LUST...."hello, Lover"..... so funny cuz thats what i say when i see a pair of shoes that I really like!! LOL...
