20 thoughts on “Is Sex And The City…”

  1. I wouldn’t know because I never watched it except this one time I was at the house of an acquaintance and she watched it and it was on and the horse-faced woman (I think the main one?) went on a bus to see some friends who lived on the beach and the husband walked up to her stark naked while she was having her breakfast oats and hay (or whatever) and that made her friend mad — at the horse-faced woman, not the husband, apparently he couldn’t help it — so she (Trigger) had to get back on the bus and go back to New York.

    And since the lives of all these people was totally alien to me (I don’t hang out with people whose husbands walk around naked in front of total strangers, for one thing) I guess it is kind of like Star Trek.

  2. Wait, wait! I think I did see another one. I don’t remember where I was — maybe in prison. Anyway, it was in New York which is supposed to be the most glamorous, important city ever though I’ve been there and you couldn’t pay me to live in one of those tiny cells they call apartments there. Anyway, the main character, Trigger (I can’t remember her real character name) was doing something I forget. One of her friends, the one with short hair who was a lesbian? Or not — anyway, was worried about a cold sore and kept talking about all the venereal diseases she had had. Then the stupid one with long hair — no, the other one — was going to get married, but when she and her fiancé went to pick out a china pattern he picked one she didn’t like so they broke up. The rest of the show was devoted I think to how sad it was that they had no men and were condemned to becoming miserable spinsters because as we all know because feminism taught us a woman isn’t fulfilled unless she has her own pet man to make sweet love to her all night long even when she’s old and ugly but especially when she can tell all her single girlfriends about it.

    Actually, I think that’s the plot to all the episodes. There, you don’t have to watch them.

  3. One major problem; Star Trek was created almost 50 years ago. I seriously doubt anything in excess of .1 percent of the population will have any idea what “Sex and the City” means in 2060.

    And I agree with the second comment; Mr. Johnny really dropped the ball on this one.

  4. Actually, I’ve read professional reviews with less insight than Andrea’s two comments.

    My favorite? “Then the stupid one with long hair — no, the other one — ”

    That’s glorious! Way to go Andrea!

    Comedy gold!

  6. Am I glad I don’t watch broadcast tv anymore! I’ll take Doctor Who DVDs any day.

    Can we start an Andrea Harris fan club?

  7. Andrea outdoes Brian on “Family Guy,” who, while watching “Sex and the City” with some gay guys in West Quahog, turns to one and asks: “So, is this about three hookers and their mom?”

    I watched almost every episode (of Sex and the City) with my wife (penance for something I must have done), and would have to say that it’s more like “The Three Stooges” for women than Star Trek. Each is incomprehensible to the other sex…

  8. Hmm. Andrea has it oh so right.

    Comparing SITC with Star Trek TOS is like comparing “Twilight” to Fred Saberhagen’s Dracula tales.

    And I resent the heck out of the assumption that because I’m female I ought to like drek. Stupid drek. Pandering sexist drek. But I repeat myself.

    MfK, I suspect your time in Purgatory has been halved because you suffered through those shows….

  9. My little brother used to ROFLAO every time he heard the phrase ‘captain’s log.’ Other than that he didn’t like the show. What’s sex in the city? Andrea was wonderful.

  10. I suspect that Andrea has seen quite a few more episodes than she lets on, in order to make such perfect capsule descriptions of it.

    I have to admit that I quite enjoyed SatC back in the 90’s when I was 1) under 35, 2) still had a TV, and 3) my gf watched it. In a “if you ever meet a woman like these, run like hell and don’t look back” kind of way. I haven’t seen either of the movies and have no intention to.

    Ally McBeal and the first Bridget Jones were also quite amusing.

    You can take away my man card now.

  11. “I suspect that Andrea has seen quite a few more episodes than she lets on, in order to make such perfect capsule descriptions of it.”

    Nope, those are the only two. That I can remember. A lot went with the lobotomy. On the other hand I no longer drool as much.

  12. I’ve never seen any Bridget Jones and suffered through five minutes of Ally McBeal before thoughtfully taking a hammer to the television set. It was a mercy killing.

  13. I watched all of the SatC episodes. My lovely and talented wife bought the lot of them on DVD. We even had parties…

    At these parties, the guys wound up downstairs by the keg of course, and the discussion generally wandered into “Does Trigger (heh!) ever whup ’em out?” Between the lot of us, we couldn’t remember such a time.

    So we quit watching.
