Printablejill4life said: There was an episode (Season 2) entitled "Ex and the City" about hair styles (sort of). Big was showing his fiancee around--the model Natasha who he eventually married and then divorced. She had "classic Ralph Lauren" looks very straight hair. Carrie was wearing her hair wild-curly; her Devil May Care life attitude was truly part of her "attire/persona".
From across the street Carrie sees Big and his fiancee leaving a limo and going into a pre-wedding dinner party Big sees her and comes over to chat. After the brief conversation Big leaves; there is a horse and carriage in the street and the horse bucks. Carrie sees the horse buck and its mane goes flying; being the writer that she is, (and with her hair flying in the wind) she ponders the notion that men prefer women with "straight" hair because the women, like their hair, are "tame(d)" but a woman who wears her hair curly-wild is "intimidating" because men do not know if they can handle a wild spirit or if the woman can be tamed at all. I liked the series because the character's personalities generally mirrored friends and the basic concepts were so familliar. That was a great episode, I loved that ending    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

SCNDLS said: CalhounSq said:  One of my faves from her (which isn't really a sane moment, lol!) is when she threw the chocolate cake away, then took it out of the garbage & ate some, called Carrie & said "I just ate from the garbage!!" & had to put dish liquid on it so she'd stop eating it 
& remember when none of them were having sex? I think that ep was called "The Drought" or something. & Carrie's neighbors were fucking like mad every damn day, so they turned it into a show & sat @ the window w/ drinks & food. & Samantha got so frustrated & yelled, "GIMME THAT FUCKING CANDY!!!" Damn, I loved that show so much  I've watched the box set twice since it went off the air  Is that the episode where she was scared of dying in her apartment and that her cat would eat her eyes so she started overfeeding the cat? Because of this episode, my friends and I do regular DBCs (dead body checks) for each other.
Also, I typically watch the show while I work out but last week I noticed that almost all my DVDs are MIA. Don't know who swiped 'em but now I'ma have security at the door frisking mofos when they leave my crib. I think that was a different one. The chocolate cake one was where she was replacing sex w/ chocolate. The "apt death" episode had a different storyline for her, I forget how she came to that realization but it was more about her fearing that no one would be there for her when she needed them (especially Carrie)... I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

And if you're really interested in finding out more about the show, which I don't really think you are, go watch an entire season or two for yourself and form an opinion instead of relying on others' opinions or three episodes. But I have a feeling you still won't get it (based on your silly references to middle aged women, $1000 shoes, etc.), which is fine, cuz everything ain't for everybody. 
[Edited 4/2/09 11:22am] Wouldn't I want to have reason to spend the time to watch an entire season's worth of the show? I'm telling you that all I've seen is what I mentioned, and acknowledged that those might have just been bad episodes. But what I have seen does not draw my interest. If there is more to the show, why not highlight that more than happens? Should a show have to rely on fans to explain the appeal, when it could easily market that appeal to garner a bigger fanbase? Can anyone tell me what there is in the show beyond middle aged women, expensive shoes, and melodrama about relationships? I'm not against giving the show another fair shot, but this really is all I've seen from it. Why did you ask that, again? I already told you, so have other people. Now stop. | |

Vague references to "issues" don't count unless you can get more specific than that. I give up. Sex and the City is clearly an awesome and life-changing show, with focus on issues and real-world stuff aplenty. This is plainly obvious to everyone but me for some reason, and though I've asked for a rundown from the supporters I seem to have trouble with the secret password that will grant me a proper answer.

I'd post some clips but you have to be ready for some seriously blunt sex talk! | |

CalhounSq said: SCNDLS said: Oh my God! Miranda was a brilliant fool! The episodes with Blair Underwood were funny too. When they broke up and she told Steve that he got custody of the elevator was a trip. The really funny thing was how she kept telling Steve that Blair was still crazy in love with her then Steve went up to his apt and found him a threesome but still humored Miranda's deluded ass.  Yea, I loved Blair's stint on the show. Their relationship was hilarious - "on a COOKIE??" LOL!  Didn't she eat the whole damn thang? Girl, when he busted her watching that British show with the interracial couple fucking I holla'd! She was so mortified. | |

Yeah that's right. I think she was scared of not having someone to call in case of emergency. | |

If it's as great as you say, there should be no problem describing to a non-fan about what makes it great. What do you want to know? Samantha is the female version of a man. No she's not a shemale, she sleeps around, talks and functions completely like men do. She's a man except for the fact that she's a woman. Charlotte's the romantic, probably the most "chick flick" like character. Carrie's...I have no idea. She annoys me. She serves as the narrator of the episode's themes and issues. Miranda's like the everyday woman. Her struggles are usually the most realistic, from what I've seen anyway (I've probably seen three seasons). It's tricky to find anything on youtube that will justify what I'm saying but give it a go : http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related | |

Oh, good Lord. It's just a show. You're free to like it or not like it. I loved it, and a lot of people did. I guess I'm not angry at them for committing the mortal sin of being--gasp!--MIDDLE AGED. Oh, the horror. The show dealt honestly and bluntly with love and sex, primarily, and navigating relationships. Some people might find those trivial, but considering these are the driving issues of many people's lives, some would say they're not so trivial. At least the show was honest about it. The issues covered ranged from abortion, having an affair, struggling to make rent, and taking care of an elderly mentally ill mother-in-law to just about every warts-and-all aspect of being in a relationship, including washing a guy's skidmarked underwear. Some of the shows seemed to spring from real life and be incredibly truthful. Other episodes were lacking, to be sure. My personal favorite episode was in season 4, where Miranda's mother dies. It was nicely done and the effect it has on the other characters as well as Miranda is rather affecting, to me. All that said, I think one thing some people don't get about the show is that you don't have to like Carrie. She's whiny and self-centered a huge amount of the time. I think that's one of the reasons I liked the show and found it honest; its main star was incredibly flawed and self-involved and they didn't try to make her perfect. But I can definitely understand how the superficial aspects of the show can be the first and only thing noticed from a cursory look--it's definitely how the show was often promoted--but there was much more to it if you care to watch. But if you hate it, that's cool too. | |

What's "a Carrie"??? In this case, a woman who acts like an utter child. That was my biggest gripe with the show, actually: It was hard to take Carrie seriously because she was always throwing tantrums, sabotaging relationships with men other than Big and chasing some weird dream where they would wind up together (in the series). | |

Miranda is great...Funny, when she talked about the witch in Hansel & Gretel being misunderstood. That the woman builds her dream home then two little bad-assed kids come along and nibble on it... | |

Lordy, another classic is: "I'm dating a guy with the funkiest tasting spunk." I died cuz the other chicks look at each other in disbelief. All of a sudden Charlotte gets up and runs out the restaurant w/o a word. Then Miranda says, "and she's never coming back!" I was too through when Samantha told dude and challenged him to taste it and when he did he almost threw up. Now, I ask you, who hasn't been THERE???  | |

My pointing out that the characters are middle aged is only a criticism in relation to the obsession over shoes and boys. Seems a little juvenile to me, at least without the other factors of the show. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
