Sex and the City Sucks

Posted by Richard on Sunday, 29 December 2002

Lee Siegel: “[S]ex and the City is so much the creature of its fantasy of New York that its characters do not resemble any actual person who lives in New York. The four women never, until a couple of spats in the later seasons, fight with each other; and never express jealousy of each other; and never—except for Miranda when she is pregnant—collapse from exhaustion or work late. It is not even clear how the four of them—a scattered socialite, a workaholic and ambitious corporate lawyer, a power-hungry nymphomaniac, a newspaper columnist so narcissistic that she is hooked up mainly with her own clothes—would ever have become friends.”
Pretty much like any sitcom/drama based in New York City, the show is not about the characters' lives so much as about the myth and fantasy people have about New York City itself. I watched an episode the other day where Carrie and Samantha were on a train to San Francisco, and were so desperately horny that that they mistook committed, married men watching the game in one car for a bachelor party. Also, an ugly man who has no business getting laid gets laid, simply because he admited to her that he was obsessed with the woman's lips. The bachelor pad atmosphere they found themselves in—despite the fact that she even said out loud it was tacky—seemed to have helped.
Yeah, okay, sure.

Sex And The City sucks for real. Seems to me you take this junk seriously. It's a joke to me. "Bad acting" would not even begin to describe this crap. I do have something good to say about this crap__ It's better than watching Fags on T.V. Perty Cool Site You Got Here But Some Obvious HTML Errors.

Sex in the City is a waste of time that has somehow taken over american television. This show has infected the minds of millions and I dont understand how people enjoy this crap. God know the voice of Sarah Jessica Parker is annoyng as hell...and every ten seconds she speaks like nails on a chalk board.

I live in NYC and these broads remind me of every annoying stuck up bitch in this city, the self absorbed look at me type. The worst are the ones that move here and think wow I'm hip I live in NY, meanwhile the cowshit on their shoes isn't even dry.

Kim Cattrall is 52 and playing a "sex symbol" of sorts. Nuff said.

sex and the city is DISGUSTING. its mainly about middle aged sluts who care only about money, sex, and shopping. people like this make me sick, they literally turn my stomach. anyone who watches this show and takes it seriously probably is or wants to be just like the whores they see on tv. the sad thing is that young women watch this crap and think its awesome to be a piece of trash who use men like a tissues. this show degrades women and men at the same time somehow. that felt good

If women like this shit, then I don´t know how sane they really are. Materialistic superficial crap! Young women are often to coward to seduce a man, but when they get old and desperate they try, and nobody wants them... Ha ha...

I have always hated the TV show; sadly, my teenage girls like it. My sister reluctantly went to the the movie, but said she lost many IQ points that night -- and she really did! She had her eyelashes "done" the same night.... It's an evil influence on usually normal women! I would have to be paid lots and lots of money to sit through that crap. And If I were paid money, furshiz I wouldn't spend it on fuck-me shoes!
