So I did it, I finally finished watching all 6 seasons of Sex and the City on dvd. Ness was nice enough to lend me the dvds. I watched seasons 1 and 2 before we went away....and finally got back to it earlier this year, and have sped through it. I'd never watched the show from the beginning, and even though I thought I had seem most episodes on foxtel over the years, when it came time to watching the dvds, there was some that I had never seen before!
When it started back in 1998 I was only 12 and in year 7...not sure what year it started here, but I was too young, sheltered, and naive for that kind of TV. -By this point the nudity and sex scenes are really not an issue, after all, nowadays there are SO many shows like that on tv, but in my teens that was too much for me.
I remember my cousin Jade who is 3 months my younger, was watching it by season 3...and I was catching a few eps here and there by that point. I was watching full time for at least the last 2 seasons, and tried to watch old eps on foxtel. Its not my fave show, but I do love it.
So it was a lot of fun to watch it all on dvd, in sequence and without ads. Its funny, no matter how many times I have seen that last episode, I always cry when Carrie leaves, and also when she walks through those doors at the end for breakfast with the girls. I'm a sap, and a sucker for finales.
In terms of who is my fave character, I used to think it was Charlotte -because she was the most conservative. But all these years later, I don't think I have a fave. I still think Carrie is my least fave, but I still love her...just not her fashion sense most of the time.
The first movie was so great, that it sucks that the 2nd one didn't live up to the same standard. I think most of that was the fact that so much of it was spent away from New York City!
Well now I'll have to find something else to watch in my spare time. I think I need to watch Alias from the beginning again...its been a while now, and there have been a few signs that I need to watch it!
Also, stay tuned for my 2011 finale scorecard that is almost finished.
