<p>I think this is like the best show ever made. ever. goodbye.</p>
<p>I think that it was the worst show ever made. hello.</p>
<p>Sex in the city is way better than in the suburbs</p>
<p>^ yes you got that right. until somebody has a baby.
well this thread was really meant for girls since most men do not watch this show. </p>
<p>stuck- hello. how are you doing today? I do not take that insult kindly. Sex and the city broke barriers and crossed new frontiers. the image of the "career" woman will never be the same. sigh</p>
<p>sorry if i insulted "the show", but i watched one episode and never did it again. I personally didn't like it. but whatever........</p>
<p>SJP looks like an anorexic horse.</p>
<p>stuck- year whatever is right. </p>
<p>SJP is an amazing woman. but yes, my brother said the same thing. oh well, if you watched it you would see she's awesome.</p>

<p>LMAO...........................</p>
<p>it wasn't that funny. honestly, since we're all adults can we stop using "lol" "lmao" "lmfao" and other versions? those really bother me. it takes just as many finger strokes to hit "h-a-h-a"</p>
<p>Roooooooofle Laffo Looooooool</p>
<p>hmmmmmmm, i wasn't trying to be funny?</p>
<p><3 sex and the city.</p>
<p>I've watched every episode! it's amazing!</p>
<p>How did SITC break barriers, bendrumfront? By portraying today's careerwoman as a whore in Manolos?</p>
<p>Obviously you haven't seen but two episodes. But, I will respond with a measure of seriousness. First of all, women have an inherent problem, that is our biological role intends for us to be the primary caregivers. If you are male, you won't understand this, you can try, but you will not understand it fully, but I will put it into simple terms: Because a female's biological role intends for her to be the caregiver, women often find it difficult to develop an identity separate from "housewife," "so and so's mother," or "so and so's wife." I'm not saying men don't help out, but it's different. Women have been afraid to be something outside of this given biological role, sometimes women feel less feminine when they do not fulfill this said role. But, sex and the city, although it did not spark any sort of movement, portrayed working women who found fulfillment outside of marriage, children, or home. These were independent women. Sexually promiscuous? Maybe. Realistic? Pretty close. And, as entertainment often mirrors popular culture, it marked a new era for women. Today women do not have to get married and have children, many want to, but it's not a priority. Women can be intelligent, beautiful, and single all at the same time and still be very feminine.</p>
<p>Sorry if this was long-winded.</p>
<p>sex and the city is a funny show and I enjoy watching it but I wouldn't consider it deep. It doesn't have much of a social conscience and it doesn't portray women in a particularly "good" way. Also, being a woman--None of the women on that show are "feminine." They are single, successful, and sexual. That's all there is to it. They aren't particularly powerful.</p>
<p>No, and I agree it doesn't always show women in a good way. But what is a "good way"? Is chastity, innocence, being married, the "good way?" I don't know, think about it.</p>
<p>Realistic and Sex in the City don't belong in the same sentance. Sure, I, a 20-somthing male that barely makes enough to scrape by, am no expert on rich 30-something single women living it up in all the most exclusive hangouts in one of the world's most expensive cities but I would have to disagree with you anyways. Sex in the City's portrayl of the average single working woman is as realistic as Friends' portrayl of New York City's ethnic makeup.</p>
<p>ICrisis, I must ask you to watch at least one whole season before you say things like that. As a male, you don't get it, but a lot of the issues brought up in SATC are relatable. And no, they do not all have money, for instance, Carrier (SJP) was almost kicked out of her apartment b/c she couldn't buy it when it went off rent-control. Also, these women are not married, and do not have kids (for most of the season) and they have good jobs, so of course they have money to spend.</p>
<p>Yeah, a lot of the situations they present in Star Trek are relatable too (racism, though thinly veiled with alien species). Same with Buffy the Vampire Slayer (just wanting to fit in, balancing a job and school), The Sopranos (balancing family and the stress of a full-time job), Queer as Folk (I can't actually relate to any of it, but I'm sure someone here can) and so on and so forth. A lot of TV shows show unrealistic characters in unrealistic situations with "real world problems" to appeal to the average TV viewer. If I want to know what the average working woman goes through in New York City, I'll scour PBS' evening schedule for a documentary.</p>
