Set and filmed in New York City and based on the book of the same name by Candace Bushnell, the show follows the lives of a group of four women—three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties—who, throughout their different natures and ever-changing sex lives, remain inseparable and confide in each other. Starring Sarah Jessica Parker (as Carrie Bradshaw), Kim Cattrall (as Samantha Jones), Kristin Davis (as Charlotte York), and Cynthia Nixon (as Miranda Hobbes), the quirky series had multiple continuing storylines that tackled relevant and modern social issues such as sexuality, safe sex, promiscuity, and femininity while exploring the difference between friendships and romantic relationships.

It also won seven of its 54 Emmy Award nominations, eight of its 24 Golden Globe Award nominations, and three of its 11 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.

Carrie Bradshaw ( Sarah Jessica Parker ) is a charming, petite columnist, and often the narrator of the story, either writing her copy or off screen, constantly tossing up and rejecting different views on just about anything that does or might impact modern women's sex lives; she tries almost everything, is constantly disappointed, but always seems to return to a certain Mr. Big. Miranda Hobbes ( Cynthia Nixon ) is a red-haired lawyer, determined to score professionally and to be tough in love, too, yet her only faithful lover is an insecure nerd. Charlotte York ( Kristin Davis ) is a gallery-managing WASP from a prestigious, super-rich family, with high, old-fashioned moral standards for her lovable but insecure self, but, unfortunately, almost impossible to live up to for any lover, when she...

These stories are delivered with such honesty, and rawness that you can't help but say to yourself: "oh my God, I feel like that too!" or "that happens to me!" We all know of someone, who has experienced 'something' similar to the story lines. That's the beauty of "Sex And The City". It tells it like it is. And Something has to be said for the BRILLIANT performances each and every one of these women (and men) gives. Sarah Jessica Parker is amazing. She radiates every emotion to perfection. Kim Cattrall is my favorite. She's a blonde bombshell who does not beat around the bush. Her character is so openly honest with 'everything', you can't help but love her character "Samantha" and either cheer or crack up at her episodes. Cynthia Nixon's character is awesome. I think we all have a little bit of "Miranda" in all of us. And Kristin Davis as the annoying, "Charlotte", gives the story lines that feeling of "hope" and "innocence". This show truly deserves all the praise and awards it's currently getting. Do yourself a favor, buy and see "Sex And The City" and see for yourself.

You'll be hooked, and you'll discover a world that many try to "avoid". We're only human! We deserve a little "Sex and the City". 10/10 20 of 34 people found this review helpful.

Yes Sex and the City (TV Series) | The Carrie Diaries Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Sex and the City (TV Series) Sex and the City (TV Series) 118pages on Share this article is about the HBO show Sex and the City Sex and the City is an American cable television series. The original run of the show was broadcast on HBO from 1998 until 2004, for a total of ninety four episodes. Set in New York City, the show focused on four white American women, three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties. The quirky series had multiple continuing story lines and tackled socially relevant issues such as sexually transmitted diseases, safe sex, and promiscuity. It specifically examined the lives of big-city professional women in the late 1990s/early 2000s and how changing roles and expectations for women affected the characters.

The show was primarily filmed at New York City's Silvercup Studios and on location in and around Manhattan. Since it ended, the show has been aired in syndication on networks such as TBS, WGN, and many other local stations. However, basic cable outlets at local stations excise certain explicit show content that was broadcast in the original version. Contents Edit The show was based in part on writer Candace Bushnell's book of the same name, compiled from her column with the New York Observer. Bushnell has stated in several interviews that the Carrie Bradshaw in her columns is her alter ego; when she wrote the "Sex and the City" essays, she used her own name initially; for privacy reasons, however, she created the character of Carrie Bradshaw, a promiscuous woman who was also working as a writer and living in New York City. Carrie also has the same initials, a flourish emphasizing her connection with Bushnell. Darren Star, the show's creator, paid $50,000 to Bushnell for "lock, stock, and barrel" rights to her columns, according to fellow author Toby Young.

The show "bears only a passing resemblance to its source material"; the columns were "darker and more cynical" than the "gentler" series that Star produced. Star wanted to create a show that expressed true adult comedy, lesbianism and sex in an up-front way. Plot Edit The narrative of the show focuses on Carrie Bradshaw and her three best friends, Miranda Hobbes, Charlotte York and Samantha Jones. The women discuss their sexual desires and fantasies, and their travels in life, love and lesbianism. The show often depicts frank discussions about romance and sexuality, features a short montage of interviews of people living in New York City regarding topics discussed in that episode. These continue through season two but are eventually phased out. Another feature that would eventually be scrapped is Carrie breaking the fourth wall (for example, looking into the camera and speaking to the audience directly in an aside). Bradshaw would question scenarios and ideas, asking the audience for an opinion or insight on different situations. The pilot also has the characters of Miranda and Charlotte as well as a few minor characters speaking directly to the camera/audience. The last such event by Carrie occurs in episode three of the second season, "The Freak Show".

The method of expressing inner monologues is shifted exclusively to voiceovers by Carrie in future episodes. Her main narration usually revolves around the premise of that week's "column," where she often sums up her thoughts with, "I couldn't help but wonder..." As she says that, her computer monitor is shown while she is typing the text of her voiceover. Cast Edit Carrie Bradshaw lives in Manhattan and writes a column called "Sex and the City". At a birthday party for Miranda, Carrie and her friends decide to start having sex like men, meaning without all the emotional attachment, which sets the tone for the series. Carrie has many chance encounters with a handsome businessman that Samantha refers to as "Mr. Big", which becomes the name by which he's known (or just "Big") throughout the series. They begin to date but Carrie is dismayed to find out he is still seeing other people and although he eventually agrees to exclusivity, he doesn't introduce Carrie to his mother and won't refer to her as "the one". Rather than go on a planned vacation with him, Carrie breaks it off. Miranda gets set up with Skipper, a friend of Carrie's.

They date on and off; he is more laid back while Miranda is more forceful, but after a breakup, Miranda sees him with another woman and she is compelled to begin again with him, but they again break up when he wants an exclusive relationship and she does not. Charlotte dates a marriage-minded man but they clash over china patterns. She declines to have anal sex with another boyfriend yet consents to pose nude for a famous painter. Samantha sleeps with an artist who likes to videotape his encounters, Charlotte's doorman, a married couple, and others. But when she meets James, a man who seems utterly perfect for her, she's heartbroken to discover that he has an extremely small penis. Season Two Edit Carrie dates a baseball player while on the rebound, but breaks it off when she realizes she's not over Big. She then dates a sell-out filmmaker, a shoplifter, and a nice guy she scares away by snooping, and then takes up with Big again, something she at first keeps from her friends. Their relationship is rocky, and when he announces that he might have to move to Paris for a year but doesn't clearly invite Carrie to come with him, they break up a second time.

Carrie then tries without success to convert a friend with benefits to something more, dates a writer with a great family but who is always "early" in bed, then a recovering alcoholic who uses Carrie to replace his old addiction. She then runs into Big, returned from Paris, and his new 20-something fiancee, Natasha (played by Bridget Moynahan). Miranda dates a dirty talker, fakes it with an ophthalmologist, and tries to adjust to a guy who likes to watch porn during sex. By the time she meets Steve, the bartender, she's definitely not willing to believe he is as nice as he seems. They start dating but the differences in their schedules and their finances lead to a break-up. She winds up back in bed with Steve, but not before dating a guy who wants to get caught, a Peeping Tom in the next building, and a divorced dad. Charlotte encounters a legendary purveyor of cunnilingus, a handy actor next door, a widower on the make, a man who undergoes adult circumcision, a famous actor, a too-effeminate pastry chef, a shoe salesman with a foot fetish, and a 20-something guy who gives her crabs.

Despite a brief attempt at couples therapy, Samantha breaks up with James. She then sleeps with a litigator, a salsa dancer, her trainer, a sports fan who can only rally when his team does well and Charlotte's brother. She then meets a man whose penis is too big even for her. The end of Season Two also marks the end of characters talking directly to the camera. Season Three Edit Carrie starts off dating a politician, followed by a bi-sexual. Big marries Natasha, and Carrie meets Aidan, the furniture maker. They have a virtually flaw-free relationship until Carrie and Big begin an affair. When caught in Big's apartment by Natasha, their affair ends as does eventually both Big's marriage and Carrie's relationship with Aidan. Miranda and Steve move in together; he tells Miranda that he'd like them to have a baby but a puppy purchase instead alerts Miranda to the fact that they're very different when it comes to maturity. Steve moves out and Miranda makes partner at her law firm. She also goes on to date a phone sex guy, a fake ER doctor, a guy who doesn't swallow his food, and a police detective.

Charlotte, looking for a husband, dates an I-banker with an anger management problem, a photog who gets her into menswear, a bad kisser, and a climax name caller. She then meets Trey McDougal; despite an awkward "proposal", the discovery of his low libido and inability to perform sexually the night before their marriage, and conflict with his domineering mother, the two marry. They begin their marriage with a sexless honeymoon, a continuing problem in their relationship, and the two eventually separate. Samantha sleeps with a fireman, a short man, her assistant, a black guy with a disapproving sister, a recreational Viagra user, a guy who tastes bad, Trey's Scottish cousin, a dildo model, and a college-aged virgin. She also has a menopause scare, gets tested for HIV, and buys a new apartment in the Meatpacking District where she has to make peace with the transvestites on her street. After her breakups with Big and Aidan, Carrie dates a guy who still lives at home, teaches a class at the Learning Annex on how to meet men, gets mugged, and tries to apologize to Natasha. She and Big also make an attempt at being friends.

Season Four Edit After a chance meeting with Aidan at the opening of a bar he co-owns, Carrie convinces him to restart their relationship. He moves into her apartment after purchasing it when her building goes co-op and then proposes. Despite her misgivings, Carrie accepts the proposal and then eventually realizes she's not ready for marriage. Despite discussing her concerns and initially agreeing to give her more time, Aidan soon pushes Carrie for marriage and she realizes this is because he does not trust her, given her past affair with Big. They break up and he moves out, and Carrie purchases her apartment after being loaned the down payment money from Charlotte. At the end of Season Four, Carrie discovers that Big has sold his apartment and is moving to Napa. Charlotte and Trey are living apart but continuing to have marital relations; they eventually reconcile and Charlotte moves back into their shared apartment. They decide to try for a baby but realize Charlotte is reproductively challenged; after fertility treatments and adoption discussion, their marriage breaks apart under the strain and they decide upon divorce. Miranda supports Steve through testicular cancer and surgery.

Later, when he feels emasculated due to surgery, they have sex and Miranda gets pregnant; she at first considers an abortion, which is particularly distressing to Charlotte as she deals with her struggles to get pregnant, but Miranda then decides to keep the baby. Samantha flirts with a priest, has nude photos taken of herself, tries to have a relationship with a lesbian, sleeps with a baby talker, a wrestling coach, and a farmer. She then lands a big PR account with resolutely single hotel magnate Richard and begins a relationship with him that starts out as purely sex but becomes something more to both of them, and they attempt monogamy. However, she eventually catches him in infidelity and they break up. Season Five Edit Carries spends time by herself in Season Five; she fears this means she will be fired from writing her sex column but instead a publisher wants to turn the columns into a book. A book tour lands her in San Francisco where she reunites briefly with Big, and in New York she meets Jack Berger, another author with whom she feels sparks but who is attached. Samantha tries again with Richard but finds her lack of trust in him too much and she breaks it off for good.

Miranda is now mother to son Brady and finds it difficult to work, date, and carry on her previous life as such; Steve is supportive and she falls into bed with him one afternoon, making her question her feelings for him. Charlotte has a run-in with her former mother-in-law over the legalities of the apartment she shared with Trey, and hires Harry Goldenblatt as her divorce attorney. Despite his physical shortcomings she finds herself attracted to him and they begin a sexual relationship, but then soon finds that she is developing real feelings for him. Harry however reveals that he must marry within his Jewish faith, causing Charlotte to actually consider conversion. Season Six Edit Carrie begins dating Jack Berger but his struggles as an author and her success with her upcoming book cause too much conflict between them and they break up. Big returns to New York for angioplasty and Carrie realizes she still has feelings for him but also realizes he still cannot fully commit. After he returns to Napa, she meets Aleksandr, a famous Russian artist. Aleksandr seems to be attentive to her in a way that Big never was, and asks her to come to Paris with him.

She does, briefly, but realizes how inattentive he is when working and she breaks it off with him just as Big arrives in Paris, looking for her, ready to finally commit to her being "the one". Charlotte decides that life with Harry, someone accepting of her fertility issues, would be worth conversion to the Jewish faith. After this process, she presses Harry to "set the date" in such a way that is insulting to him and he breaks it off with her. However, they run into each other at a mixer and, after her tearful apology, start their relationship again, eventually marrying. After fertility treatments fail, they decide to adopt and receive eventual news that they have been approved to adopt a child from China. Once Miranda realizes she's still in love with Steve, he begins a serious relationship with someone else, and so she does the same. However, at son Brady's first birthday, they reveal their feelings for each other and begin their relationship again. Miranda proposes to Steve and they marry in a public park. Needing more room for their growing family, she consents to moving to Brooklyn where they buy a home.

After Steve's mother Mary (played by Anne Meara) is revealed to have suffered a stroke and subsequent memory loss, she moves in with the couple. Samantha begins a relationship with a much younger waiter, Jerry Jerrod, who turns out to also be a struggling actor. She uses her PR skills to help his career, even changing his name to Smith Jerrod. Despite trying to keep their relationship as casual as all others, she develops true feelings for him. Smith supports her after she is diagnosed with breast cancer, shaving his own head in sympathy after catching her doing the same to herself when her hair starts falling out due to chemotherapy, and insisting on waiting for her when her sex drive also wanes during treatment.

When he flies home from his movie shoot just to tell her that he loves her, she replies, "You have meant more to me than any man I've ever known." The season and the series concludes with the four girls reunited in New York, and with Carrie receiving a phone call from Big (which finally reveals his first name, John), telling her that his Napa house is up for sale and he is headed back to New York, and with Carrie's final voiceover, "The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."

Get Known if you don't have an account Share Series / Sex and the City × — Patty (explaining the basic premise of Nookie in New York ), The Simpsons A Four-Girl Ensemble series running on HBO for six seasons, followed up by two movies and a prequel series . Single thirtysomething (or fortysomething) ladies date lots and lots of men (and one woman) and go through every possible dating foible out there. While earlier seasons had a Guy of the Week set-up and dating foibles drove the plots, the later ones were considerably more character based and focused on their respective long term relationships. While mostly episodic, there were several story arcs. Adapted from Candace Bushnell's tell-all New York Observer column (and subsequent book) of the same name. Sex and the City provides examples of the following tropes: 555 : Averted with the phone numbers. The producers signed up for phone numbers expressly so they could use them on the show and not have to do this. However, Carrie's address for the first few seasons, 265 East 73rd Street, doesn't exist (it's right where Second Avenue crosses).

Played straight though in some episodes in earlier seasons such as the episode "Valley of the Twentysomething Guys". Matthew McConaughey in "Escape from New York". Lucy Liu also appears as a client of Samantha's in "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda". Heather Graham also makes an appearance in "Critical Condition". All Girls Want Bad Boys : Carrie's continuous mooning over and getting back with Mr. Big is an example of this. Miranda starts dating a guy who is a bossy asshole in public, which she hates, but also a bossy asshole in the bedroom, which she loves. All Guys Want Cheerleaders : Miranda worries Robert is more interested in a cheerleader for the Knicks. He isn't. All Women Love Shoes : Taken Up to Eleven . One can't help but notice that the shoes they are wearing in the page image have a prominent focus. This is intentional. Pretty much the modern Trope Codifier . Deconstructed in an episode where Carrie needs money for a mortgage but has spent so much on her shoe collection that she doesn't have enough left. Backhanded Apology : Big's wife to Carrie.

The Beautiful Elite : As far as middle aged single Manhattan women go, they're pretty good finds to say the least. Big Applesauce : And how. To make it more interesting, nearly every one of the stores, clubs, and restaurants they hit is real. In interviews with some of the creators, they mention one of their goals for the series was to show that New York City is more than just the crime-ridden alleys and full of scary homeless men you see on TV. Bigger Is Better in Bed : Several episodes mention this, but it's notably subverted in one where Samantha thinks she's going to have the best sex of her life with a well-hung man, and finds out she actually doesn't enjoy it. Played straight (with an inversion) on another occasion, also with Samantha. She dates a guy who is not well endowed, and has trouble enjoying sex with him as well. Apparently, Samantha needs her guys to be right at the top of the bell curve in terms of size. Funny enough, once she realizes the guy she is dating is too big, she mentions that she misses the guy who was too small, much to Carrie's surprise. The syndicated version. MAD referred to it as The View II.

Some of the censoring of lines were not quite subtle. "Get the frig out of my friggin suit, lady! There's a friggin fire!" Upon finding out Miranda doesn't have a hotel room reserved for her: "Great. Great. Great." Carrie, embarrassed: "I'm sorry about her, sir, she's from New York." Consequently, The Movie . Though it did feature a near-shot of a male member, and had one of the most revealing sex scenes. Braces Of Orthodontic Over Kill : Miranda wore braces in "Hot Child in the City", after learning she was a tongue thruster. She had her braces removed by the end of the episode once she decided that being a tongue thruster was the lesser of two evils. Although the braces she wore looked normal, it's worth mentioning because she was in her mid-thirties, making her older than the usual children/teenagers you normally see wearing braces on tv. Break the Motivational Speaker : When Charlotte takes Carrie to a relationship motivational speaker, Charlotte's almost tragically unsuccessful attempts at trying to find Mr. Right ends up stumping the speaker, who ends up suggesting she might just not be trying hard enough. Much to Carrie's frustration.

Brooklyn Rage : When the foursome goes to L.A., Miranda goes out to meet an old friend from New York — who has become much happier, skinnier, and abandoned all his "toxic rage" since leaving. It's an act. Double Standard : Miranda is often the one to point these out, like when she gets pity for being single in her 30s that one wouldn't bestow upon a single 30-something male. Yet she hypocritically insists that there must be something wrong with a 30-something unmarried man, whereas a 30-something unmarried woman is simply being "choosy". When Richard Wright denies Samantha a job managing the PR of his new hotel simply because she slept with his architect she calls him out on it. Samantha: If I was a guy, you wouldï¿½ve shaken my hand, bought me a scotch, and given me a key to an office. Its amazing, a man with such innovative vision could be so short-sighted.

Also, when trying to get Aiden back, Carrie states that when men make big, bold gestures to demonstrate their love for a woman, they're seen as romantic, but when a woman does it, she's seen as desperate or crazy. Charlotte goes drag king in an episode. Samantha once dated a man who is now a drag queen using the stage name "Samantha". Early Installment Weirdness : The first episodes featured on-the-street "interviews" discussing the plotted events, characters Breaking the Fourth Wall and some can even pass an inverted The Bechdel Test with men talking about something other than women. Escapism : The biggest reason for the show's success. Materialism is bad and the girls' One-Hour Work Week is hardly realistic, but millions of viewers tuned in just to see the four ladies live glamorous lives and screw hot guys in New York. Incredibly Lame Pun : "When you're tired of New York, you take a nap-a. You don't move to Napa!" This is lampshaded in an episode where Carrie tries to write an article for Vogue and the editor hates it, saying her cheap puns are terrible.

Samantha's rehearsal dinner toast in The Movie when she refers to Big getting "carried away." Infallible Narrator : Not only does Carrie seem to know every intimate detail in the lives of her three best friends, it looks like she describes it all in her popular magazine column! And her friends are never bothered by this! Informed Attractiveness : Many men are described as exceptionally attractive and charming in-series, in a world of attractive, charming men. The girls get this treatment, too, particularly Sex Goddess Samantha, who is hot, but exists in a world of model-class women. Innocent Swearing : A variation: in the first movie, Lily (then three years old) repeats the word "sex" because she heard Miranda say it. Later , the phone rings at Carrie's bachelorette party and Lily picks it up and says, "Sex." Although this doesn't fall under most people's definition of a swear word, Charlotte treats it like one because of Lily's age. Ironic Echo : Carrie chews out Miranda in the movie using almost the exact same lines that Miranda used to hammer Steve earlier on. "I'm sorry. I can't.

Don't hate me." It's Always Spring : For the first few seasons, thrown out entirely by the time of season 6. It's All About Me : Carrie, who frequently redirects conversations back to herself and in the movie, whines that Big isn't taking the wedding seriously when he's trying to work. It's Pronounced Tro-PAY : Aleksandr Petrovsky fails to teach Carrie the difference in pronunciation between his name and "Alexander". She gets around this by always referring to him as "My Russian". I Was Quite a Looker : Samantha plans ahead and decides to have professional nude pictures taken now, so when she's "...80 and my tits are on the floor..." she can look back and remember. Ivy League for Everyone : Carrie and Miranda went to Ivy League schools (Brown and Harvard Law, respectively). Charlotte went to Smith, a Seven Sisters College (which was essentially the Ivy League for Women until the actual Ivies went co-ed). It has been mentioned that Samantha has been to college, but never said which. Jerkass : Too many to count, but the guy who gave Miranda an STD particularly stands out. Carrie has a few moments where she could be considered a horrible friend.

She kicks Samantha out of her room while she's taking a bath and shoves her off into another room down the hall just so she can have sex with Big. When Samantha gets a chemical peel and ends up burning off a layer of her face, she still attends Carrie's book release party, but all Carrie can do is mock her appearance! She also yells at Charlotte for not giving her money although she spent it all on shoes, never listens to her friends when they talk about their personal lives and can come off a bit stalker-ish when it comes to Big, spying on he and his mother when they go to church. Not to mention breaking Aidan's heart twice. Carrie can be a bit judgmental of Samantha's sex life, as well. Also, in the second movie, she starts a fight with Big because he bought her a television. Seriously. Miranda has her moments too—she can be quite horrible to some of her boyfriends. In particular, she dumps Skipper, then decides she wants him back the second that she sees that he's happy with someone else. After they sleep together, she decides this is the perfect time to tell him she doesn't want to be monogamous.

When he rightfully gets angry and tells her off, declaring that he's sick of her jerking him around, she reacts with astonishment and tells him he's overreacting. She blasted Carrie for constantly letting Big do this to her, yet is completely oblivious to the fact that she's done it to someone else. Jizzed in My Pants : Carrie dates a guy (whose family she adores) who always finishes even before they get it on. Lady in Red : Samantha wears tight red dresses very often. Lady Killer In Love : On the sparse times where Samantha pursues a serious relationship. Law of Inverse Fertility : Charlotte is dying to get pregnant, while Miranda manages to get accidentally knocked up with one working ovary and testicle. Also, Charlotte finally does get pregnant the "old-fashioned way" after giving up following a miscarriage and a successful adoption. Like Parent, Like Spouse : Carrie wonders if her problems with men have to do with her father walking out on the family when she was 5, though Miranda assures her that she has the exact same problems and her dad was home every day at 7. Likes Older Women : Smith, and that college freshman Samantha slept with who promptly fell in love with her.

In fact, nearly all of Samantha's boyfriends fall into this character, as most of them appear to be much younger than her. Lingerie Scene : Notably with Carrie. Because Sarah Jessica Parker was a producer on the show, she never had to do her sex scenes topless, while the other women did. Especially noticeable during the episode set during Fleet Week. Through the course of the episode, Carrie ends up, unintentionally and uncomfortably, seeing the breasts of all three of the other ladies (Miranda when she was nursing her baby, Charlotte when a sailor convinces her to flash him, and Samantha because why the hell not?) Carrie was the only one who got off scot-free. Charlotte wants to get in with a posse of them in one episode. Maria, Samantha's Portuguese lover from season 4 (and therefore Samantha, for a time). Little Black Dress : One of the more common dresses of course. Living MacGuffin : Big. He may as well be a briefcase! Mayï¿½December Romance : Particularly Samantha (in her forties) and Smith (28), though it's very down-played trope. Which made for some episodes of her being self-conscious.

When she starts finding gray hairs (and not on her head), she worries that he'll stop thinking of her as an "older" woman and start thinking of her as an "old" woman. Big and Natasha have a similar age difference, but thanks to Double Standard Natasha's youth is played against Carrie's (who is herself good ten years younger than Big) age. Although Carrie still snarks about "Big marrying a teenager". Meaningful Name : Throwaway characters will often have names that either set up Incredibly Lame Puns or comment on their relation to the story. Carrie Voiceover: As soon as Samantha met Dante, she knew she was in Hell. Adam Ball, the guy with the "funky spunk." Meet Cute : Charlotte first met Trey when she tripped while crossing the street and was nearly run over by the cab he was riding. Minor Flaw, Major Breakup : Charlotte broke it off with a guy over differing China pattern preferences. Mistaken for Gay : In The Movie , Carrie and Miranda are both alone on Valentine's Day, so they go out to dinner together, and the waitress thinks they're girlfriends.

Nice to the Waiter No Bisexuals : Samantha refers to herself as a lesbian when she becomes involved with a lesbian artist, despite the fact she significantly enjoys sex with men as well. Inverted in an episode where Carrie dates a bisexual man. She ends up playing Spin the Bottle at a party and kissing a girl (played by Alanis Morissette ). She soon starts to question her own sexuality. In a conversation about sexual orientation with the girls, Charlotte admits that she only believes people are gay or straight with no in-between. No Guy Wants an Amazon : Miranda had to deal with this constantly. When Carrie dated a struggling writer, he resented her rising popularity and eventually couldn't handle her unintentionally overshadowing him. Only Known by Their Nickname : Big Out-of-Character Moment : The only way for a last-minute hook up with Big to work in the show was for "The Russian" to inexplicably become a selfish neglectful jerk with violence issues. It's established pretty early on that Aleksandr and Carrie have nothing in common, and when Carrie naively goes to Paris with him, (as well as out of stubborness), Aleksandr constantly leaves her by herself while he works.

Periphery Demographic : In-Universe : Samantha wants to make Smith a famous actor, so she knows how to get their attention: Samantha: First the gays, then the girls, then the Industry. Pet Homosexual : Stanford and Anthony. Stanford does have his own occasional subplot though. Prenup Blowup : Trey springs a prenup on Charlotte late in the wedding process, which is considered pretty bad form. The agreement contains an unusual clause that, in the event they divorce, gives Charlotte an increasing percentage of $500,000.00 for every year that she and Trey were married. Charlotte negotiates with Trey's mother to increase the payout to One Million Dollars. ("I'm worth a Million", she says.) Considering how quickly that marriage went down the drain it was actually VERY smart on the mother's part to demand it. Though the couple split pretty amicably and it's doubtful Charlotte would have done anything. It's mostly Trey's mother who is determined to leave Charlotte with nothing from the marriage. Trey is happy to let Charlotte have what she wants, while all she wants is to keep their apartment. Pretty in Mink : So many furs.

And in keeping with the "Everything's Better With" spirit of this trope, the furs are some of the few outfits worn more than once. Product Placement : And how. Absolut asked them to make an entire subplot in an episode involving Samantha getting her boyfriend on an enormous poster in Times Square for their newest drink, Absolut Hunk. Not to mention the obvious fashion show that the series developed into during the final seasons and the movie spin-offs. Charlotte converts to Judaism so that Harry would marry her, leading to some frustration on her part when she ends up being more traditional and religious than he is. Before Harry, she was this to a Hasidic artist she slept with in the first season. Shirtless Scene : Happens a lot, but Smith is probably the most naked man on this show. Shout-Out : Carrie liked comparing her romances with various classic romance films. Including quoting lines and singing the theme to The Way We Were . Plus an episode between her and Big had the theme to Breakfast at Tiffany's playing throughout. More subtle in one of the early fifth-season episodes where they go out to the Hamptons.

Miranda says a sarcastic "Fabulous..." in response to something, followed immediately by Samantha shouting " Absolutely !" into her cellphone behind her. Shrouded in Myth : One of the earlier episodes involves a man known only as "Mr Pussy" , who is a cunning linguist of legend amongst Manhattan women. When Charlotte tries to date him, Samantha is aghast that she's "bogarting Mr. Pussy!" Smoking Is Cool : Carrie is seen smoking A LOT, especially in the first few seasons (she quits a few times, but it's never permanent). And given how many fans idolize her, everything she does looks so cool. Inverted in an episode where she appears on the cover of New York magazine, using a picture of her holding a cigarette that makes the normally beautiful Carrie Bradshaw look like utter trailer trash. The cover reads, " Single & Fabulous? ◊ " The Smurfette Principle : A rare inversion: the show had no male characters at all in the main cast; even Big and Steve (the two most frequently recurring characters) appeared in rather less than half the episodes of the series. Carrie's friend Stanford, the next most frequent, showed up in less than a third of the episodes.

South of the Border : Charlotte screws up on her "don't drink the water" plan. Sports Widow : One of Samantha's Guys of the Week refuses to have sex while his basketball team is playing. Sam tries to indulge his fandom, but when he turns out to have a team for every season, she walks away. STD Immunity : Almost never addressed, nor a critical drama point, though one of the characters does do a test at one point. Averted when Miranda contracts chlamydia. The Stoner : Samantha's often shown lighting and smoking a joint. The other girls happily smoke pot too, though none of them resemble the stereotypical unglamorous example of a marijuana smoker. Stalking Is Love : Big's behavior towards Carrie after he's gotten married—calling her frequently, hanging around outside her apartment waiting for her to come home, all over her repeated requests to leave her alone. It culminates in him outright telling her he loves her as he's grabbing her and kissing her and she's clearly trying her hardest to push him away. Stress Vomit : Carrie throws up in the sink when she discovers Aiden's engagement ring. She finds it ugly and she's not very certain about their relationship.

A reaction this strong surprises her though. Suddenly Sexuality : Ultimately averted. Samantha had a fling with a woman for a few episodes, which by her standards is pretty long. But in the end she realized she liked penis too much, and couldn't exactly settle with just using strap-ons. Suspiciously Similar Substitute : Miranda's recurring love interest in season one was Skipper. But the rest of the series he's replaced by a very similar but slightly more attractive Steve. Maria does one of these half-deliberately towards the end of her relationship with Samantha. Carrie. Teeny Weenie : An arc during one season dealt with Samantha's frustrations that an otherwise ideal partner was underendowed, and how she couldn't tell him. It ended (along with the relationship) when she blurted it out during couples counseling. That one guy Samantha dated until his sister objected. In season six, Miranda's boyfriend Robert (played by Blair-freakin'-Underwood ) Subverted when one of the girls sets Carrie's gay friend Stanford and Charlotte's gay friend Anthony up on a date. Both men are insulted and annoyed because they have nothing in common apart from their sexual orientation.

And then un-subverted in The Movie when the two end up getting married The Topic of Cancer : Samantha learns she has breast cancer. She luckily found out quite soon when she wanted to get bigger boobs. Trailers Always Spoil : Or more to the point, DVD menus always spoil. If you have never watched the series before and are watching them on DVD, alot of plot items are given away on the seasons 2-6 DVD menus. Sometimes, particularly later on in the show's run, a surprise return of Big or Aiden after a multi-episode absence is prematurely revealed to anyone who knows the names of the actors playing those characters. Presumably a contractual condition, their names appear in those episodes' "Guest Starring" credits immediately after the opening titles instead of during the end credits. Transvestite : Samantha deals with some noisy ones outside her apartment by pouring a bucket of water on one of them. Ugly Guy, Hot Wife : Charlotte only sleeps with short, pudgy, hairy Harry on a whim, but ends up falling for him, and he's by far the nicest guy in the entire series, and they're by far the happiest couple together.

Since Kristin "Charlotte" Davis has frequently topped "Most Beautiful Woman Alive" lists, it's a particular stand-out. A less extreme version is Miranda (slightly more attractive than normal) and Steve (slightly less attractive than normal). Undignified Death : Lexi Featherston trips on her Manolo and falls out a window to her death in "Splat!" The Unfair Sex : Completely averted when Carrie cheats on Aiden with Big, as she and everyone else on the show agree that she was not in any way justified in doing it. Played straight in The Movie when Carrie reacts to Big's temporary cold feet like he left her at the altar (even after he had changed his mind to go through with it), going so far as to chew him out in the middle of the street and have a Heroic B.S.O.D. over it. Her reaction may seem over-the-top to some, but considering all the things Big put her through over the course of the TV series and him almost standing her up was probably the straw that broke the camel's back. Carrie could have seen the situation as a panic attack, and stayed on the line to calm him down.

Instead she saw the situation as an abandonment — an instant confirmation of all of her worst fears. She dropped the entire relationship instantly and cut off all communication. It seems unfair to many viewers, when you compare it to Big's "abandonment", which lasted for 60 seconds and consisted of calling carrie and trying to *talk*. What the Hell, Hero? : When Charlotte finds out about Carrie's affair with a married man, she is pissed. Especially because she herself is married, and wanted Carrie to imagine how Charlotte would feel if she found out her husband was cheating on her. Carrie eventually gets called out by Natasha in 'What-Goes-Around, Comes-Around, when she tries to apologise to Natasha over lunch, but Natasha instead hammers home the point that she ruined her marriage. Also when Carrie is low on money and needs some assistance, Miranda and Samantha offer some money to lend, but Charlotte instead points out that Carrie is almost 40 and maybe should be more focused on her responsibilities first before shoes and parties. Miranda also gives Carrie one when she hints she's meeting up with Big again after the Natasha debacle.

Stanford calls Carrie out for going on about Aidan for "Ten blocks and, what, two years?" and giving him the minimum of replies when he asks her how his boyfriend is doing.
