Trivia:

On the day she shot the scene where she goes to the Paris Cinema to see "Joy for Two" and it later rains very heavily, Sarah Jessica Parker wasn't feeling well, so she sent her assistant to fetch her a home pregnancy test. She learned she was in fact pregnant just before shooting the scene; scripted as a rather giddy, happy scene (it is in the episode, "Anchors Away!"), this obviously helps explains why she is extra-smiley.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the fetish episode when Big goes to Paris for a few days for work, he returns to New York and Carrie shows up at his door with McDonalds. In the kitchen, the position of her bag and the french fries (both on the counter top) changes constantly throughout the scene.

Quotes:

Miranda: I didn't tell Walker I was pregnant.
Carrie: Miranda!
Miranda: It didn't come up! If Walker had said to me, "Have you given birth recently?", I would have said, "Well, first of all, define recently."

Sex And The City Theme

Sex and the City bashers be damned!!!

I am a 23 year old single woman living in Manhattan and I love and relate to this show. All though I am younger and poorer than these women, and I don't get nearly as many men as they do (not to mention the fact that I'm Black!), I think this show has alot of insightful and funny things to say about being a woman in New York.

And to address the sex issue...I am so tired of the Madonna/Whore complex everyone in the country seems to be up to their eyeballs in. Get over it! Women like sex, they have sex, and they have sex with men they don't like. So what? And so what if they continue to look for Mr. Right even when they're with Mr. Right Now. What person man or woman hasn't consistently done something, seemingly at cross-purposes with their intended goal in the name of love, lust, or companionship? Stop with the tired double standards (that includes HBO's ban on full frontal male nudity on the show!)

Let's address the real issue: We all wish we were getting it as much as Samantha--even it's from just ONE person!!!
