I've seen this show once and utterly hated it. Into the dustbin with it!

Regards, Ivan

[MadIvan]

Bump!

[Happygal]

I liked the series.
I think mainly because Sarah Jessica Parker wears SUCH pretty shoes! :-)

[Paul Atreides]

Sarah Jessica Parker falls into the category of one of life's most overrated celebrities.

[goldstategop]

It was a good if funny look at the battle of the sexes in New York City. There are other shows much better on HBO and The Sopranos stands heads and shoulders above Sex And The City in excellence. Every one should check out The Shield on FOX cable - its gotten terrific reviews.

bump and ditto.

To each their own, darling, but I can't help but think of what would happen whenever anyone would say "Frau Blucher" in Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" whenever Sarah Jessica Parker is mentioned.

Sound of a distant horse whinnying

I'm proud to say I've NEVER seen this show. I'm also proud to say I don't subscribe to hbo.

[AntiGuv]

I found the show rather trifling & frivolous, but only watched a couple times because Sarah Jessica Parker looks the spitting image of my sister...

[MadIvan]

The best thing HBO ever did, and I found this on my holiday, was "Band of Brothers" - I liked it so much I bought the DVD box set to bring back to England.

Yup, Ivan, and it also was yet another of those shows which, if roles were reversed and male characters were talking that way about females, would never have seen a second episode. "Standards and Practices" long ago gave way to "Double Standards and Practices." Hope all is well on the Island.

What do you get when you cross the Sopranos, Sex in the City, and Queer as Folk?

[Xenalyte]

As they say on the MadTV takeoff Sluts and the City: "HBO. It's not TV . . . it's porn!

[MadIvan]

What do you get when you cross the Sopranos, Sex in the City, and Queer as Folk?

Nothing I want to see, I assure you.

Regards, Ivan

[Tribune7]

I tried watching once. I failed.

[ingeborg]

The phonies that these actresses played gave real slatterns a bad name.

[Poohbah]

What do you get when you cross the Sopranos, Sex in the City, and Queer as Folk?

I dunno. What DO you get?

[JennysCool]

Happy one, wait 'til you see the spin-off, Shoes and the City, about a group of too-cool foot-fetishists! It's socko, baby!
