I love this show. I love how Carrie is so self-indulging. I love to see a single girl in her 30s dressed in cute shit, journal-keeping on her little laptop. And of course they have gay friends. It's fun to be a girl and Carrie does it so well. Perhaps it is a little one dimensional and perhaps real women in new york aren't so financially secure and infantile. But Carrie...the world she lives in is charmed because she herself is spirited. I shudder to imagine how a real-life Carrie would look like, but as a 30 min show, as performance of "modern single girl in the city," it's inspiring and relateable.

The plot of this show (if you want to call it that) a group of sex starved women sitting around talking about sex, plotting on how to get sex and then bitching when said sex isn't very good or complaining that the male in the equation doesn't call them afterwards. Granted it's entertainment for some but boring and mind numbing for the rest of us.

Witty, if a little mono-thematic, and I'll watch a show with regular appearances of Kim Catrell au naturel before I'd tune in Oprah or Ellen.  I pointed out to my wife, who likes the show but never watched it until it was in re-runs, that all of the male characters in the show were one dimensional, underwritten and generally just there as plot devices.  She politely informed me that I have now experienced the feeling that women generally get when watching every other show on TV, or movie in the theatre, or play by David Mamet.

This TV show exploits the adult life, wether in relationships

One of my favorite shows. Always interesting!

Was totally addicted to it back in the day!!! Can't wait for the movie and to find out what happened with Carrie and Mr. Big. Got kind of dumb when the brought in the old ballet dancer guy! Would love it if they would bring back Aiden!!!

Morally debasing.

I really disliked this show. I have never seen more self absorbed people in my life. Glad it is over!!

Its ok i guess I'd watch it, its pretty good

Pathetic.

I had heard how great this show was, but when I finally saw it I realized how stupid it was. Listening to the opinions and stories of the characters on this show makes me want to bang my head against the wall repeatedly.

I love this show. True, it isn't for everyone, but I'm still entertained. When the show first came out I thought...wow, they have sunk to a new low....this is the stupidest show. Then I actually sat down and watched it. I got hooked.

Four annoying, and no-so-good-looking NY chicks past their prime having sex. No thanks! I'll watch re-runs of Dark Angel to get excitied.

I did try to watch this but after a couple of episodes gave up. It is just a gab fest and how is the repetition of the same situation funny?

I just watched my first episode of this show about twenty minutes ago- primarily because nothing else was on. I got bored halfway through and found it a real struggle to sit through the second half. What's all the fuss about? According to the Internet Movie Database, this show recieved FIFTY-FIVE freaking Emmy nominations! Granted it only won seven of them, but that's still seven more than it deserves. I admit to a certain amount of arrogance in thinking of myself as a scholar of comedy, but scholar or no scholar, I do know that comedy shows are supposed to be funny, and Sex and the City, with the exception of an occasional line or two, just plain ain't funny. Maybe you have to be a woman to appreciate it. The word overrated doesn't begin to describe this show. I just don't get it.

My fiance and I watch this show on DVD almost every night. It's typically smart and always funny. I recommend season two and season six. They both represent the essential heart of the show without the burden of heavy long-term plotlines.

i watched it more towards the last then i ever did. i would like watching it but it never seemed to catch enough of my interest that i would look forward to catching it the next week.

Surprised that this show rates so low. I find it very funny, as a straight male no less. Of course it is unrealistic, but most TV is, even the so called reality shows. I cant put my finger on exactly what it is, except that the dialogue is so frank and open about sex that it just gives me the giggles. Charlotte and her troubles with her husband had me busting my gut. Samantha is just a high class hooker, but she admits it, which is quite something. Carrie's musing about the opposite sex I usually find intriguing. Miranda's character probably is the least interesting. HBO is not the same without new episodes of this classic.

A comedy about four thirty-something women who share their adventures of dating and sex in NYC. My roommate has all the seasons on DVD and I got hooked. Lame excuse but it's the truth. I love Manhattan, I appreciate the dating stories, and I like the humor. The cast portrays four very different women and opinions.

Maybe it is because I am not female or gay but I do not see any thing funny about this show. Some of the girls look good but that still does not save this highly over rated show.

Has to be ranked in the Top-50 TV Series of all times. Consistently witty with refreshing storylines and likeable characters. The 4 girls are all talented and desirable. Kristin Davis is a goddess, as is Kim Cattrell. I also like Sarah Jessica Parker, even though she has an eerie resemblance to Dee Snider. Of course, the show benefits from the HBO factor, as much of the humor is derived from the very raunchiness depicted. I don't think it would have done as well as a network series, as evidenced by the sanitized airings shown on TBS. Still, even these shows are far funnier than the best episode of Gay Friends or Will & Gay [To be honest, Sex and the City did the best job of any series in making the gay characters quite funny].

The phrase boring crap has never been so appropriate for anything before. The three times i actually bothered to watch it i developed a severe headache. I watched it firstly out of curiosity and found it to be rubbish, then i watched it for a second time hoping for an improvement but it didn't fail to disappoint and the third time i watched it was because sarah michelle gellar was guest starring in it but that episode was as bad as the rest. The 4 women are irritating old bitches who should be hospitalised. Carrie is so ugly she makes an orangutans ass look pretty, Samantha is an old whoare, Charlotte's constant whining like a 7 year old is as irritating as having caramel stuck to your teeth, and Miranda walks like an anoerexic penguin and has the personality of a paperclip. It has none of the characteristics of an entertaining show. It is not remotely funny and the storylines are dull to say the least. I'm not sure which demographic it is made for but i can say that whoever watches this show regularly must seek urgent therapy.

Now...this...this takes the cake. This show truly boggles any intelligent mind. And, even worse, now, the show is available on BASIC cable--where any young person can access it. The actual show is a terrible mess of horrible nothing. Profanity runs so rampant on the show that one wonders if the people that write this show even have a dictionary. Touted as a comedy, one has to wonder where the comedy exactly is. Hearing the f-word twenty times in a five minute period isnt amusingits disturbing. The plots are as amoral as can be, focusing onyou guessed itsex and nothing else. Make no mistake about it, there are no role models here. Also lacking is optimism and unreality. The writers obviously have no imagination by grounding themselves in this perverse sex-centric universe. The acting is terrible, too. Its amazing that shows like this get praised and brilliant shows like Star Trek: Voyager and Pokemon get looked down upon. HBO doesnt stand for Home Box Officeit stands for Home Body Odor.

About as funny as syphilis. What a great idea for a show. Get 4 unappealing middle aged women whingeing on about how crap their sex lives are. Sarah Jessica Parker has a face like Smarty Jones with colic and an irritating whine of a voice. At least it's now over but that wont stop TV broadcasters from playing endless repeats.

who cares about these 4 women. Yuck!

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! It wasn't meant to do anything other than just simply entertain. Before Sex and the City there was this horrible stigma of women aged 30+ (especially women Samantha's age in their 40's), that once they've settled down, got married and had children that life was simply not fun anymore. Well along came Sex and the City and turned this ugly stigma on its head to show that women could still lunch with their girlfriends and talk about their past night experinces, can still go clubbing, have a baby and a career, be married and have fun, can talk about sex just as openly as men - enjoy it and not be classed as a sl*t and just generally learn to love and enjoy life no matter how old you are.

With all due respect to the actresses, This series was way too boring for my tastes. I was expecting more humour and more excitement. I watched an episode and fell asleep.

The show is brilliant. I just started watching it this year. I didn't want to watch it because I thought it was just about sex. It's so much more. I can do without the graphics, but I like the continuing story line.

Over rated. I dont really want to waste a half an hour in evening listening to people who whinge all the time.

I have watched a couple of episodes, only to see what the hubbub was about, and I am still wondering!! I have no idea of the charactors names but the blonde main charactor?? This is considered beautiful?? THe red head?? Looks pretty used up. In fact they all do. I really feel bad for all the women out there that watch this trash and feel as though they don't have a life because it can't compare to this show. If this show was "real life" these four women would be suicidal. Absolute, unadulterated CRAP!!

I'm going to miss this show.

I think this is a great show, and to those who say it's all about sex, I disagree. This show has excellent writing, witty insights, and more often than not expose thoughts that most women probably have had at least once in their life. The sex may be too extreme for some people, but I admire the fact it has the guts to put it out there and cover issues to an extent that other network shows cannot. I also think Sarah Jessica Parker is great; she deserves every Best Actress award she has gotten for this show.

Not that funny and not that sexy, scattered frontal nudity notwithstanding. Perhaps it's just my "Y" chromosome talking, but why should I be interested in the romantic travails of a bunch of tightly-wrapped New York Women who endlessly bitch about the lack of good available men in the City but who wouldn't know a good man if they fell over him because they're too busy chasing after jerks?! Sorry to vent like that, but when I lived in New York I met so many women who fit this show's stereotypes that HBO could probably squeeze a sitcom out of *my* romantic travails. And it probably wouldn't be any more depressing than this one.

It's interesting how easily the female characters are labeled as sluts, but nobody mentions the men they're sleeping with. What are they? Innocent victims? HA! Join us in the 21st century, and enjoy this amazingly candid show. Don't be so darn uptight! :D

not a fan. this show portrays women as such sexual objects.

These women are annoying and will never find real love. Sorta like callmetootie.

overrated! 4 ugly, reject whores would be a better title.

I loved the first 3 seasons, but then it kind of dipped. Sometimes its hilarious and then there are times when I am glad that its only a 30 minutes show. Sarah Jessica Parkers charachter gets on my nerves at times. But, for the most part.. I still like it.

Fabulous, fabulous, FABULOUS! the writing, the actresses, the plot..sometimes a bit much for me, but still so funny, has me in 'laughter tears' aaaaaall the time!!

Good show!

Is it really necessary to promote this trash? There's enough sex and violence on the television these days without having to watch four jaded women use the men in their lives. What kind of values are we promoting these days, anyways?

along with Will & Grace, this show is only appealing to women and gay men-i am neither and thats why it bores me. i have tried to watch but it is just too boring.

I absolutely love this show. it is aimed at women, so I can understand why men might not get the humour. Its a show that I can relate to. All of us have love issues at some time or another. And lets face it, when you are with a group of close friends, sex does come up, alcohol starts flowing and the laughs begin. It asks some questions that I've asked myself, and it can make me laugh at it as well. I unfortunately missed some of the episodes when I was staying at my parents, so I'm hoping they'll repeat the episodes. Thumbs up!

I really don't see what all the fuss is about with this show. Yeah it's ok but come on being a slut is only acceptable for so long. Move on.

I love this show I mean the girls are so funny at times!But to me I can't explain why its interesting to watch girls having sex and complaining about it but its just so interesting to see.All the girls are different so it kinda is like real life cause women do get together and talk about their sex life just like men.This show is the best!

We rented Sex and the City from our local video store. I had heard so much praise for this show.We got one of those DVDs that had more than one show on it. We stopped it during the middle of the second episode. My goodness the title of the show is exactly all this show is about.Talking about sex, getting sex,bedhopping sex. I found the show to be unfunny. I just do not find a show about "getting some" enjoyable. the only reason I am giving it a two is there are some good actors in this show.Call me a prude but I do not find a show that the only thing the characters can think about is sex.Gee there are others things in this world than just that. I am also not thrilled with the morals on this show.

Sex and the city has kinda come to grow on me. It's a good way to pass time in between commercials and the girls are pretty good actresses. However something is always nagging about this show, is it supposed to be irony or real-life? Surely most of us don't live life like that, do we? It's not the best thing on TV but if it's a slow night it's alright. But if the producers are reading: KILL OFF MR. BIG. PPPLLLEEEAASEEE!!!!!

the show is just fabulous! it's funny and charming. the girls are great.

LOVE THIS SHOW. I can even get my husband to watch it with me. I can relate to most of what they do and go throgh.

alienates 50% of population.
