Caught my wife reading this article in the paper this week.
To hear some on FR tell it, the show didn’t influence any behavior. Like all those single women ordering Cosmos.
Hollywood liberals claim that drug use and free sex in movies doesn’t influence behavior. But they do want all cigarette smoking removed because it makes it look glamorous.
I always thought Sex and the City was a show that tried to do to much and never quite did any of the things it set out to. It tried to copy the Seinfeld genre of sitting around analysing the minutae of life over food or drink. At least Seinfeld was unpretentious enough to be doing it in a diner. It tried to be a comedy but was not that funny.
It tried to be dramatic but was lacking there. And it tried to be semi pornographic but never quite did that either. I know they managed to be quite successful without my support but that is my opinion. I sort of agree with Anne Coulter that it looked like it was written by gay men for gay men.
i don’t know anyone who watches the show. I tried watching it once, I don’t think i got through the hour.
As for the article, why is it that some people think the only way one can remain a size 0 or 3 is through excercise? As for paying $400 for a pair of shoes with heels that would send me running to take them off after wearing them for 15 minutes, no thanks.
This is just plain dumb over-analyzing. I’ve enjoyed SATC. I’m also a Stargate and Star Trek fan, but I have never expected to live in those fantasy universes, either. Fiction is fiction. Entertainment for most, the basis of policy for Liberals.
Hollywood say their shows don’t influence behaviour, but they sure do try to use their shows to influence behaviour regarding gays, aids, etc., etc.
And all of the court dramas and fantasy shows about women presidents and evil Republicans...
If I took out my all-purpose, Funeral-going, wedding attending, Interviewing suit...you'd be hard-pressed to find $400 worth of clothes in my closet. In total.
I just bought some $250 cowboy boots. Does that count?

I saw some of the shows. My immediate reaction...it was a show about the definition of “TRAMPS” - pure and simple!
Anything that gets more young women in heels [rather than pantsuits] can’t be all bad!

I thought only homosexuals watched this show?
I suspect there are not any FReeper women who watch this kind of garbage.
I'm a female and I never watched it.
Several years ago I was sitting in the lunchroom at work. A group of male employees were seated across from me and turned Sex in the City on. Since my back was to the TV, I only heard what was being said by the actresses. I couldn't believe that they actually paid someone to write crap like that. Thankfully I had a good book to read.
If ALL the clientele was similar to the one in the picture, I think I need to change careers.....I could help them try on shoes all day long.......ggrrrruuuuuuffff......

Okay.. so I'm easy. So what?!
