[quote=Anonymous]It aired when I was in my early twenties and I loved it, though I hated Carrie Bradshaw from day one. For the central character of a show about friendship, she was really an awful friend. And for a slutty sex columnist, she was remarkably prudish. 
I always related most to Miranda but the show really did her a disservice with how they styled her. Smart, funny, successful women can be beautiful and stylish too. Most of the women I know are Mirandas, who are beautiful and dress like a cross between Charlotte and Samantha. 
I enjoyed Charlotte's evolution the most. I like Steve, but I'm not thrilled that Miranda ended up with him. So many Mirandas settle for Steve and they're usually not that happy. 
Carrie was a trainwreck throughout the whole show. In real life, Big never marries Carrie, and Carrie does not end up obscenely wealthy. She ends up with a lot of credit card debt, regretting how she treated Aidan, and maybe settling for someone worse than any of the romantic partners we saw on the show. Like Harry looks and Berger treatment. 
Samantha was a bit of a cliche but she was the most devoted friend of the four and the only truly independent woman who wasn't looking for a man to complete her life. She also had the best lines, and KC had great comic timing. 
It's amazing how dated this show is, while The Golden Girls still works. [/quote]
