186 Sex and the City

I’ve never seen an episode of “Sex and the City,” starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Reading about the angst and grief as the last episodes air on HBO makes me think I haven’t missed much. The USA Today article was up-beat and flattering, intended to hype the frenzy. Fantasies about shoes, potty mouth women, loser boyfriends, sleeping around, STDs, abortion, zingers. It really sounds special, doesn’t it? And friendships. Oh yes, that’s supposed to be a big part of the hoopla. Gilda Carle described the show as four empty women who use sex as a tool.

Even cleaned up for reruns on TBS in syndication, it doesn’t look like a bargain to me, that is if Time really is money.
