Is it just me or was Carrie Bradshaw the most annoying character from the 90s?

All 4 satc characters were horrible.

I wish there was a like button! I hated that show.

Ally McBeal was for sure the worst of the 90s.

Carrie could be obnoxious but she did get her comeuppance at times. I'm specifically thinking of Berger.

All the hate yet you all pretend to be these fake characters. Go figure.

You're seriously discussing character development? That's cute.

Well some people say it's the gay writers interpretation of women or something like that.

What's interesting is that Carrie became more annoying right when Sarah Jessica Parker became director or whatever you call it. It was a much better show when she was only an actor and not in charge.

I love Carrie and the show!

The show was absolutely absurd and I couldn't stand it. It was laughable that Carrie kept getting all these hot guys. There was no way that they would spot her in a restaurant/bar with all these gorgeous women and pick her out of the crowd.

Unless it was last call and they were stupid drunk, never would have happened.

Never seen Boy Meets World, Fresh Prince, 90210 or Seinfeld; Janice wasn't that bad b/c she came and went in small doses. Uncle Joey was the worst! The pull-my-finger and the chipmunk thing were the definition of unfunny. I got the impression that he was closeted several times watching the show.


Never seen Seinfeld??????? The others you can forget, but Seinfeld? Classic.


Everyone tells me that! I saw snippets of episodes here and there, but never watched one through.

Most episodes of Seinfeld do not hold up.

I like Samantha and Charlotte! Can't relate to Miranda at all (she treats Steve like a mother treats her 14yo son!) and Carrie has me scratching my head. Of the boyfriends, I find Aidan the most annoying (still on season 4, so it might change) -- it's like, drop the tough-guy schtick and quit thinking you're sooooo amazing because you cut your hair and lost .3 pounds (his "transformation" isn't even noticeable).

Is it fair to characterize it as the more intellectual version of the god-awful HIMMYM?

I disagree. She had a distinctive look but not ugly. A certain guy would be very attracted to her I think, she was always confident if nothing else. Great legs, too.

I agree with you. I hope my thoughts below don't spoil anything for you since you haven't finished the series yet.

The girls:
- I liked Samantha and Charlotte, too.
- I couldn't stand Miranda until the very end of season 6, when she suddenly became tolerable (when she helped out with Steve's mom and told Big to go get "our girl" in Paris).
- Carrie was okay, but not my favorite.



The boyfriends/husbands:
Carrie's boyfriends:
- Even though he could be an ass at times, I usually liked Big. :o
- I couldn't stand Petrovsky.
- Aidan was okay, but not my favorite.
- I couldn't stand that Jack Berger (Ron Livingston) character. Ugh.

Samantha's boyfriends:
- I actually liked Smith!
- I didn't like Richard.

Charlotte's boyfriends/husbands:
- I couldn't stand Trey. He was a big baby.
- I adored Harry. He was a really nice guy!

Miranda's boyfriends/husbands:
- I liked Steve. I felt bad for him because Miranda treated him so badly.
- I didn't like Robert, the doctor (Blair Underwood)



The friends/"staff":
- I found Stanford annoying, but endearing.
- I also found Anthony annoying, but funny.
- I loved Miranda's housekeeper, Magda. She didn't put up with Miranda's BS.
