Ari if the shoe fits... and it seems to fit you like a glove. Perhaps if there were realistic portrayals of women who worry about paying the rent, being constantly under paid in the workplace and being married and expected to work full time, be a mother and turn into a mans mother instead of their lover when they first started dating then maybe this non sports watching man might tune in...

I've yet to meet a man who does not have to slam SATC or these girl every possible chance they get. Boring!!! Jeez... the way you guys critique the show is relentless. And what do guys watch again?? Remind me... such mind enriching fare as The Sopranos? Decent, but eh. Is that really the pinnacle of story telling? The NHL, NBA, NFL or WWF for that matter ... yes, yes, all fascinating and realistic and not mockable in the least. Get over it.

What is this about Carrie Bradshaw setting the trend for women's fashions???? Jesus, her outfits would qualify her to take prizes #1 through #5 on a list of the 10 worst dressed women in the world! When will the "fashion world" have the balls to actually say "The King Is Naked!"? To be serious, I found that the show cast Carrie/Charlotte/Amanda/Samantha as truly sad creatures who could only measure their happiness as a function of whether or not they were with a man. For example, Charlotte never gave up and finally found her knight in shining armor who would save her from ever having to work for a living. These were very pathetic women. And what was really disturbing was that while these four examples of the perfect woman would literally screw anything with a pulse and/or $$$$$$, the issue of safe sex was all but forgotten. Wonderful message there. If there was ever a reason for a single man to NOT live in New York City, "Sex And The City" was it.

Perfect? Maybe in its cliched, predictable way. What a snore. It was actually possible at points to predict certain bits of dialogue, much less plot lines. Except for maybe samantha, the characters are so two-dimensional, plastic and mawkish. I'm so glad it's all over so I don't have to hear about it anymore.

Like sex, I found the build up to be much more exciting than the main event.

Thankfully another show that tought transient New Yorkers how to be New York is over. Now maybe the media inspired women of New York can stop being sheep and get back to reality.

Watching that bit in the finale where Mirana was racing through the Brooklyn streets, looking for her garbage eating mother in law (which was a nice touch) I suddenly had a horrible premonition that Miranda would get hit by a car, get paralyzed, maimed or die and that Charlotte would have to permanently take care of the red-headed child. Hence the quote "watch the baby" from Miss Hobbes as she ran out the door. Shudder at the thought. Thank you, HBO.
