Trivia:

The final line of the last ever episode was first drafted to read: [Carrie walks up stairs from subway] Carrie Voiceover: And if you can find someone to love the you you love, [Carrie turns to the camera] Carrie: Well, that's just fabulous. Carrie looking at the camera was a link to the earlier seasons but the producers changed it as they felt it wasn't in keeping with tone that the show had set.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the earlier series, the exterior the Carrie's apartment was another apartment block (in one episode we see a couple having sex through this windows). In later series, the exterior changes to the street outside and the other apartment seems to have moved.

Quotes:

Carrie: It's the end of an era.

Sex And The City Theme

Sex and the City bashers be damned!!!

I am a 23 year old single woman living in Manhattan and I love and relate to this show. All though I am younger and poorer than these women, and I don't get nearly as many men as they do (not to mention the fact that I'm Black!), I think this show has alot of insightful and funny things to say about being a woman in New York.

And to address the sex issue...I am so tired of the Madonna/Whore complex everyone in the country seems to be up to their eyeballs in. Get over it! Women like sex, they have sex, and they have sex with men they don't like. So what? And so what if they continue to look for Mr. Right even when they're with Mr. Right Now. What person man or woman hasn't consistently done something, seemingly at cross-purposes with their intended goal in the name of love, lust, or companionship? Stop with the tired double standards (that includes HBO's ban on full frontal male nudity on the show!)

Let's address the real issue: We all wish we were getting it as much as Samantha--even it's from just ONE person!!!
