Summary: Lackluster series
Review: Sex and the City is Darren Star's attempt at a raunchier, more sexually explicit Melrose Place--and he fails miserably. The most interesting character is Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and that's not saying much. She gives us a look into the convoluted relationship problems of herself and her three friends. These supposed liberated women for the late '90s have nothing better to do than talk about how they can't find a man and how all men are the same. Mr. Big (Chris Noth)and his realtonship with Carrie is an interesting focus of the show, but unfortunately it's not enough. This "sexy adult comedy" leaves much to be desired.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Love Chris Noth!
Review: This show is always a highlight of my week - the clothes, drinks, hair, and sex are all fabulous, and the on again off again relationship between Chris Noth and Sarah Jessica Parker keeps the show moving, and the audience guessing. I hope he's back for the new season, because we all know how the book ends.......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Being Single and Fabulous was never so entertaining!
Review: Sex and the City is, in a few words, the wittyest, funniest, and most entertaining piece of television on the air. With the passing of its British counterpart, "Absolutely Fabulous," thank God that HBO has come up with a show that is intelligent and hilarious. Carrie Bradshaw, a "sex anthropologist" who writes a column about the modern woman's dating woes, finally finds the right man in Mr. Big, although in one second season episode she thinks the relationship is over because he won't let her leave a hair dryer at his apartment. Carrie is the only "single and fabulous" woman that has a stable relationship. Although she sometimes strays, "He was straight and a smoker. Everything that I was looking for that night." Her nympho high society friend Samantha has "survived the dating scene in New York for the past 30 years by becoming a hybrid. The body of a woman with the ego of a man." Samantha at least has the decency to sleep with a man only once before moving on, and on and on and on. Charlotte on the other hand, is a naive good girl who seems to lure bad boys. Miranda is a successful lawyer but is a paranoid woman, suffering from various neurosis. In one episode, she has the fantasy that she will remain single forever and end of dying eaten by her cat. Miranda prevents this by overfeeding her cat. These are all very real and interesting women, whose problems you can watch and say, "Yeah that's exactly what happens!" The show is pure pleasure to behold, with Carrie and her whacked-out friends trying to survive the single life in a New York filled with neverending chaos. I hope that they keep struggling forever, because without Sex and the City, Sunday nights wouldn't be as much fun! This show is definitely for mature people who enjoy watching four women work out problems that we all have in real life, only much much funnier.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best show on TV
Review: I love SEX AND THE CITY so much, I can't wait to have the DVD. I believe that the comedy is funnier and more sophisticated than many of today's movies, so it is going to make for fantastic repeated viewings! I could watch the lives of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda forever. I hope they release the second season, too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW
Review: This is a great series. The only drawback is having Chris Noth be on it. He drags the show and is so un-Carrie Bradshaw it is amazing. He adds ZERO to the show and needs to go back for more acting classes. The rest of the ensemble is INCREDIBLE! They are good enough that I watch the show religiously DESPITE Chris Noth being in it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wry Humor Keeps Me Going....
Review: If you have ever been single and/or ever lived in NYC, you will love this show. Fun, witty, smart, sophisticated, and clever. Plus, they all wear great clothes. The acting can be over the top, but that is what it is all about--being "single and fabulous" in New York City is not for the weak at heart. All I can say is, I hope they keep making new episodes, because when HBO doesn't broadcast Sex and the City, Sunday nights are just not the same.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This show rocks!
Review: What a cool show, and it's so great that those of us who don't get HBO can finally have access to it. Can't wait for this full set to come out. I've seen 4 episodes and it's just great--acting is wonderful, situations are ones you can relate to -- and it's always great to be able to see Chris Noth in anything, now that he's long gone from Law & Order. Sign me up!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A wonderful series, great entertainment
Review: This is an entertaining, well-written series. The real star is the city itself. What a great setting! Also great looking stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant, witty and oh-too-true
Review: This series is just wonderful, filled with just the sort of unbelievable things that do happen in both Manhattan and the single world. I have yet to see one episode that did not cause someone I know to say -- that happened to me. And yet, despite it all, a very uplifting and empowering view of women in this age.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sex in The City? Not With THESE Folks
Review: Allegedly comic adventures of fluff-brained magazine writer and her ghastly friends on the search for a trophy husband in the ritzier neighborhoods of New York. The cast includes such likeable people as Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, and Chris Noth, but they are playing the sort of yuppie scum who should be sterilized at birth, lest they reproduce. I'm not even sure that this film could speak to real-life yuppie scum--even they have a greater capacity for love than this crew . . .
