[quote=Anonymous]But the show was so eyecatching at the time because it was talking about and showing things that other shows were not.  I mean, this was the age of Ally McBeal and the practice.  And Stargate!  I mean, there was Buffy the Vampire Slayer which was breaking new ground in different ways.  SATC was a show for adults about adults (sometimes acting like children, but eh?).

The story arc that had the most impact on me was the one about Carrie and the dude who wasn't as successful a writer as she was, who had all sorts of feelings about it and couldn't come through for Carrie because of it.  That was stuff that I don't remember other shows dealing with at the time.  That's a real issue in relationships with successful women and it was so interesting to see it actually represented on TV without the woman seeming like an absolute nutbag because of course on any other show/movie of the time it would be written so that the guy was the sympathetic character in that relationship and the woman was an overbearing shrew who was trying to control him.

Anyway, wow, lots of weird feelings about SATC, sorry.[/quote]
