Scar City (1999)

Oh great irony!!!
After making me watch Sex and the City with her, my wife astutely observed that at the heart of this show is a great irony. Touted as a "breakout show" lauding feminism and female empowerment, Sex and the City ironically only managed to portray women as more shallow, superficial, petty and empty-headed than virtually any other television show in history (thank creator Darren Star). Far from challenging whatever backward notions might remain that women are not men's equals, all watching this show would actually do is effectively confirm everything about women that misogynistic chauvinists unfoundedly believe, especially but not limited to the beliefs that women are silly, adolescent, juvenile and totally unencumbered by any burdens of logic, adulthood or maturity. Great progress.

Tiring quickly of Carrie Bradshaw's infantile and meaningless ponderings--"Is New York all about change?" "Are new myths required for singles?" "Is life in Manhattan like a bagel with cream cheese?" Here's one: "Is life really all about perpetually asking meaninglessly vacuous questions and then posing witty but ultimately arbitrary responses?"--one is left to wonder what exactly happened to her in childhood that so effectively stunted her emotional development, seemingly forever cementing her personality at about a sixteen/seventeen-year old emotional age. Are we supposed to pity her that "Big" treats her like a little kid, regardless of the fact that she disturbingly acts like an unbalanced little child? I would say no, especially in light of the fact that in real life "Big" and Carrie would probably not be together in the first place.

Another of the show's many absurdities is the foursome of friends that comprise its main characters. Let's face it folks, unless these girls grew up together (and in the show they didn't), these four women would NOT be friends in real life. They would hate each other.

Sex, Fashion and Martinis
I can never get tired of watching Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda with their great humor and many hot one-night-stands and short relationsihps and sometimes even a Wedding. Hot Sex in the City every night, Sexy men every day and the Fashion of Tomorrow. These 4 inspiring Ladies will become your great new friends, which might sound a litlle weird, but once you start watching Sex and the City you'll want to see them over and over again. So if you're considering test-watching Sex and the City, please do! I'm sure the girls wont disappoint you. And if they do, the hot Guys definently wont!

Price
Sex and the City is a wonderful series, but it's much cheaper to buy the DVDs separately from amazon than in this set.
