Bozo the Bushnell....

As a Gen X-er who watched the show when it first aired (I was 29 in 1998), I can say that, while it certainly had its faults, it was genuinely groundbreaking. It was rare to see shows with 4 women leads, with storylines about their friendships AND their sex lives. And Samantha was a revelation: Single, loved sex, and utterly unapologetic. And Miranda was allowed to be a professional, prickly at times, and opinionated without being "put in her place".

I liked the first seasons more than the rest... As you said, they deal with serious issues, at least they try, and they are more realistic, making the girls more relatable. After the popularity of the first seasons, they overdid it with fashion and fancy dinners etc and the plot became more shallow, with some exceptions, for example Charlotte's conceiving challenge and Samantha's cancer. It was like after the first seasons the "existential" or professional or sentimental issues were solved and dating or shopping was the only aspect of their lives. Even Carrie and Aidan's relationship that was shown in many episodes was projected very shallow... like the only aspect in their relationship was if Carrie likes the ring or she is scared of commitment or she hates the country house. No deeper feelings.

Yeah they could have ran with her commitment issues. They should have had her the same wardrobe she had in the 1st season. It was far better than anything else she ended up wearing later on.

Amalita was a real one for buying carrie those Dolce & Gabbana shoes

Carrie looked like Venus in those blonde ringlets. S1 is honestly my favorite season because it's relatable and they all shined together.

I honestly can’t believe I’ve watched season 1 so many times and never realized Carrie’s apartment wasn’t the same

The fashion was awesoooome..all the ladies were beautiful in their own way, very edgy wearable with splashes of name brand and couture that was appropriate for their character’s life..sexy, flattering, the cream of NY! I used to live for Samantha’s 80’s power vibe and Chanel

I loved the breaking the 4th wall in the first season. It was done perfectly. It’s crazy to see people like Gabriel Macht in small roles. The characters weren’t annoying and Carie was relatable. Later on I started to be annoyed by her with her “lova” talk. Great show tho start to finish

It was before Carrie started squeak-shriek-squealing at every tiny thing 😂

The 1st episode of the 1st season is the absolute best in the series and the characters are dressed and styled the way people actually looked at the time. The work of the stylist who took over afterwards is magnificent, but the change in the look combined with the changes they made in the way the characters are written makes the next seasons essentially a completely new show.

@@Jenny-ls7hfI think it’s seem as more “relatable” then “groundbreaking” because as you said it’s common to hear people talk down on single independent women over the age of 27 because it’s normal amongst women that they can be this. It isn’t a new concept that even women are unsure about, it’s no longer something changing society normals. I hope I made sense 😅

I watched every single episode of the SATC universe for the first time this year. I can’t believe it took me this long to watch this show! My parents wouldn’t approve based on the title of the show. I’m honestly glad I watched it this year at the age of 30 because it’s so relatable❤

Thank you for this. I think too that SATC is underrated in terms of feminist content. The women have deep friendships and don't promote the bullshit "catfight" attitude. For me it was comforting to watch other women have empowered lives. I'm not in my 20ies anymore, but still this show speaks to me and makes me laugh.

I'm around SJP's age and it was so refreshing to see a show about women my age having good dated, crappy dates, romances that didn't pan out, unashamed casual encounters and talking about their sex lives just like my friends and I did - just in NYC with fancier clothes. You'll notice these seasons are way more diverse too when it comes to the girls' other friends.

Loved your review! I'm reading Bushnell's book now (the collection of columns) and indeed, season 1 is not only heavily influenced, but often repeats whatever is written in the columns line by line. It's amazing to see how they managed to make the best of it on the screen :) season 1 will always stay my favourite

As a GenXer who watched the show when it premiered and aired, I never forgot that Sam hit on Big first. It colored every interaction they had together. It was ingrained in her introduction: "She had the kind of delusional self-confidence that made men like Ross Perot run for President."🤣 It also wasn't just about being thirty 25-years ago, it was about what the 90s represented: A time of peace and prosperity where some truly did vote for people based on their looks and we wore less and less as the AIDS crisis came to an end and we could have more liberated sex. (Trojan stock was 📈, lol.) It was a joyful time of no PC bs and more freedom :) Good video.✌

well the episodes are quite autonomous and they rarely reference each other so it's easy just to pick a general vibe. like do i want to watch a pregnant miranda, or charlotte and trey trying to convince on bunny's orchids, carrie with aidan, carrie with burger etc

I always laugh no matter the season of SATC and that's why I still watch. Also, the writer Candace Bushnell's first name is mispronounced which was interesting to me because I thought that was a fairly common name.

Are you kidding? The entire show is mostly based around the most elite fashion every season. The wardrobe department was one of the most important parts of the show!!! They always look incredible, it's about fashion and style and money and power , duh! The city! They, and their houses, always look incredible.

I absolutely loved season 1 it was more serious and relatable also the fashion was more normal like carrie wore sweatpants etc.

The title of this video is meant sarcastically, right? Because that gets acknowledged A LOT.

I always related to miranda the most from s1.

Aidan is too good for Carrie. I hope they don't try to get them back together. They have nothing in common and they do not have the same life goals.

Everybody talks about it actually lol

It’s when you notice that the main character is a shallow alcoholic narcissist. You see that times has changed. Seinfeld and sac has in common that they normalised the view that it was somehow empowering to be self obsessed and toxic. Carrie’s sex addiction and lack of self awareness is obvious around Adan. And when she also cheats on him, most should see that she is totaly toxic. The red flags are all there, but most viewers are consumed by the shoe’s and brands.

Entertaining is far more important than role models. Though the moral centre should be felt somewhere in the show, but not in a preachy way.

This is a really late comment, but I wanted to adress your comment @ around the 8 minute mark: "Carrie gets mad at Big for seeing other women, even though they didnt discuss exclusivity." I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're close in age to me at all (25) then you're probably used to the idea of relationships as 'non-exclusive until otherwise specified'. Frankly, that's a VERY recent development and it's not really fair to project that idea onto a show made in the 1990s! From what basically every person over 50 that I know has told me - in the 80s and 90s, it was generally understood that you did NOT date multiple people unless you specifically clarified that you intended to do that. If you went on several dayes with someone, and it came out that you were also dating someone else, you would absolutely have been considered a cheater. A lot of the discourse around 'exclusive vs non-exclusive dating' is a product of the Internet and simply did not exist in the 1990s. Loved the video BTW - just felt like I needed to make this clarification! I agree that Carrie is portrayed as a terrible communicator, but I don't think that this is why!
