 Video Girls on HBO, 2008-08-02
If I'd watched this season first, I'd have never gone to see the movie or watched later episodes of the show. Fortunately, most of the syndication episodes I see on TV are with Mr. Big and Carrie; Samantha and Jared; Charlotte and the Jewish guy; and Miranda and the bartender. Call me a prude, but I liked the later episodes so much better because each woman stuck to one man; wasn't having sex on a first date with every guy who looked cute and seemed nice; and they seemed to be slightly more street smart. In this season, everybody's coming home late at night and jumping in folks' cars; having sex with someone different on every single episode (why do we pick on video girls when there are shows like this on the air?); and Miranda and Charlotte drove me insane. Miranda is that bitter, angry, no man friend that every male on Planet Earth can't stand because she's always the tightest friend with their girlfriend. She had some male bashing comment on just about every episode, but ironically, she couldn't WAIT to find a man and complained continuously about why nobody wanted her. Maybe because you're mean and annoying! Charlotte, on the other hand, bothered me more. I respect some of her old-fashioned ways about getting to know a man before having sex, and wanting to not use certain vocabulary words that are classless, but everything else about her made me want to scratch my eyes out. She was a complete hypocrite by lecturing people on being too slutty, but then she had sex with some guy at a wedding. That was a Samantha move! No matter what the guy does, she swears her dates are "the one" and talks about wanting to get married and have children more than even the old 80s sitcoms I'd see. If Charlotte's character met Mrs. Brady (from "The Brady Bunch"), I think Mrs. Brady might ask her to loosen up a little.
The first season was better because there was less vulgar humor and more actual slap-your-thigh funny scenes. This season had "jokes" like someone nutting on another person's forehead. Ugh.
I hope the third season is better. If not, I'm going to start working with the last episodes and work my way to the bottom.
 Love the show, 2008-07-07
Sex and the city will always be loved but this is definitely one of the best seasons.

Can't wait to watch it, 2008-07-03
I now have Seasons 1 & 2 of SATC, but haven't had a chance to watch them yet. I can't wait for a rainy or cold and snowy weekend, so I can be a couch potato alllll day!

A Must Own Series!, 2008-06-21
No matter what your age or life is like every woman can relate to one or all of these ladies. Romance, finance, and disagreements among friends.
I love having my series collection to watch whenever I miss New York!
You won't be disappointed in having this seasons episodes!
Now all I need is the Movie DVD! :) Coming soon....

Sophomore Perfection, 2008-06-05
In its Second Season, SATC truly explored the sex and love of NYC through the wonderful lives of our four ladies.
Serial dating, weird sex, self realizations, and all the laughter culminate in a truly wonderful program. This season sets itself apart as the one that took the show into its irreverent direction. While continuing to channel Ms. Bushnell's articles, the show expanded to become all about these four women. They became real characters, not just vessels for the hilarious and odd that is NYC. And this season has some great balance between all the characters.
Every woman has her own storyline and incidents. The best for each are (in my humble opinion):
"The Cheating Curve" Charlotte losses interest in men after a boyfriend cheats on her, in front of her!! Enter the 'power lesbians!'
"The Man, The Myth, The Viagra" Samantha finds a very rich, but old, old man to treat her like a princess. But how much is she willing to give up for decadent dates?
"Evolution" Poor Miranda just can't catch a break: she breaks up with Steve, she has to humiliatingly tell her gyno she no longer needs birth control, and then she finds out she has a 'lazy' ovary! What's next? A date with hair-plug guy?!?!
"La Douleur Exquise" Carrie realizes she is a masochist when Mr. Big hurts her again ... this time he is fleeing the country! Her optimism and inability to see who Mr. Big for who he really is wrenches your heart, especially when Carrie does stop kidding herself.
"Ex and the City" Another Carrie episode, but the great group sing along and Samantha's embarrassing admission make this a perfect ladies episode. But oh that ending! Carrie and Big reenacting that scene, with that wild horse refusing to be bridled! (Only rivaled by Season 3's "What Goes Around Comes Around"- the Christian Dior newsprint dress swaying as she walks, through traffic, down the streets of New York, in slow motion!)
Highly, highly recommend!
