good show...not as good as The Sopranos, of course, but a good show...

when we were in the motel in Moab I saw 'Daria' a cartoon. hilarious!

it's a spinoff of Beavis and Butthead...

really? did not seem nearly as boneheaded actually it seemed to be spoofing people like Beavis and Butthead

I guess they're having a new Sex in the City every weekend now. I'll try and find the schedule.

do they have sex in different cities?

now wait, i don't get hbo, but is this a movie made to look like a documentary (like that one with ethan hawke and winona ryder)? are they acting, or are they having real life girl talk????

it's acting...my "review" of it is kind of a 90's New York Tales from the City where the four main characters are all female... go to http://www.hbo.com/city/ for more info...

it's a series, Wolf, and the second season just started...

It's a re-run on HBO tonight (at least here in Austin). Then Tues at 10 and Weds at 7:30. (reruns)

Stacey asked "Do they have sex in different cities?" Fair question. I'm pretty sure it does, I've only seen this seasons First and Second Episodes and it all seems to take place in a big city. New York City? Possible tipoff: "After Carrie ends her relationship with Mr. Big, she goes through the "rigamarole of breaking up" and dates a new member of the Yankees." Yankees=NYC.

I already said it was in New York...

Mr. Big = Chris Noth, the sexiest guy on TV...

Bewware, another spoiler. "If the world's fattest twins can find love, there's hope for all of us."

New episode Sunday night at 9.

episode spoiler or just spoil life in general?

episode

did you watch tonight?

Yep, caught the last 20 minutes but they'll have reruns through the week. This is a funny show and gives you almost a voyeuristic thrill. Being a guy listening to girl talk.

just go to drool for that...or be young, male and work with a bunch of married women...

I wonder if any of the drooeurs watch Sex in the City?

Paul... you're in a rut...

but the man knows what he likes!

.. but he lives in the country... doesn't bode well...

we can all dream, can't we?

yes we all can...

"Sex and the City" is explained in the current Newsweek http://www.newsweek.com/nw-srv/printed/us/ae/cu0105_1.htm The life of single women in the big city has had a powerful hold on our psyches since Helen Gurley Brown's Zeitgeisty book "Sex and the Single Girl" in the '60s and Mary Tyler Moore's bachelorette pad in the '70s. But the single heroines in today's popular imagination are worlds apart from Helen and Mary, and an even farther cry from their old-maid aunts. They're well dressed, well paid and sexually gratified. "I don't understand why women are so obsessed with getting married," says Samantha. "Married people just want to be single again. If you're single, the world is your smorgasbord." And more and more, it seems, this undomesticated fantasy world is seeping into the daily lives of single women. . . .

By the way it's Sex *and* the City, not Sex in the City as the t Interesting piece by neo-Victorian Wendy Shalit, on *Sex and the City*: http://www.city-journal.org/html/9_4_a4.htm

bummer....*grin* Is Wendy Gene's Daughter? If so, I hope she resembles her mother!

I'm going to ask a question of the women here who may have seen this show. Which of the characters do you relate to the most personally? OK, guys too. Who do you have the hots for the most?

Gonna watch it just so I can answer the question. I usually do not identify with any of the characters on TV shows...

Ooops! Can't. We do not afford HBO...gonna have to read and be voyeuristic here, myself.

Maybe watch it at a friends?

Good thought...I'll work on that.

I'm working on my answer, I still have to get the names and faces matched up.

...and I will canvas the people at tonight's game to note their comments...

What's the game. I have about 5 Sex and the City's stacked up on TIVO. Yum!

Basketball - we are back to our regular season. We won the game with Christian Heritage College of California on an abysmally wet and thundery night. So bad, in fact, that we remained warm and dry at home and listened to John do the play-by-play on the radio. Happy SatC orgy (or is it more properly a marathon?!) when you get around to it...

The lst show rocked, with Charlotte getting the hots for the gardener and moving back to her apartment. Trey just couldn't get it up. And Samantha Jones falling for adolescent Sam Jones, who ends up stalking her after outrageous sex.

And the red head (can't remember her name) falls for the cop who showed up at the scene of Carries mugging and ends up drinking so much he has to leave her a note to join AA.
