They are shopping and brunching because it gives them something to do while they talk, it's not the point of the show and anyone who thinks it is....is dumb! This is an incredible show about love and sex and friendship, and while it's very dated, it's still so funny and smart and real. I don't know a single straight woman who hasn't encountered one of the problems on this show.

This is a sitcom about four middle-class, female friends - Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha - who live in New York City. The show can't seem to decide whether its focus is sex comedy, romance, drama, family, work - or friendship between women. For a show that's meant to be primarily comedy, there are nowhere near enough laughs.None of the characters are likable and only Samantha is entertaining to watch. It has an often patronising and misandric attitude towards men, which makes it very difficult for males to enjoy. Its title misleads the viewers into thinking that the show will have a lot of sex scenes and is about four hot sluts - but only Samantha actually is slutty. The other three are rather boring and ordinary. The protagonist is ugly and has a bad personality - yet thinks she's beautiful and glamorous. Inexplicably, she's very popular and rich, powerful men throw themselves at her as though her arrogant perception of herself is real.

Nineties are always a trend baby!Carrie Bradshaw and her friends are the best friendship circle ever invented! It is too easy to feel identify with someone of them; walking around NYC, drinking some Cosmopolitan, hanging around with some guy, working hard but feeling good, dressing the best fashionable things in the whole world, dreaming with the perfect boy, crying, laughing and enjoying life with your best friends! Who would not want such a life? S&TC is the best TV show of all cause it's a prove that the American dream is still alive and it takes only a good attitude and a couple of loyal friends!!

I'm not the intended audience of this show. I didn't watch it during its original run. I saw a couple of episodes last month, and continued watching it.I've found SATC more entertaining than I thought I would. I'm not a moralist. I don't mind women using foul language. And most importantly, I really don't care about any messages a TV show conveys to its viewers.Of course the characters, and the situations they find themselves in, are exaggerated and at times shallow. But this is a 25 minute per episode show, trying to wrap the stories of at least 4 characters; what else could you expect? Real life and real women may not be like they are depicted in this show all the time, but they are so from time to time, and SATC captures these moments and highlights them for dramatic effect. Not every talk in life is about politics or environment or global issues. And not everyone is politically correct when amongst friends. You can think of this show as fragments of life, seen through a shape distorting magnifying glass.Are the stories in SATC ultimately pointless? Maybe so, but this also implies to me that this is not a didactic show, and for me that's a good thing. Let's face it, it's been more than 10 years this show went off the air. You're probably watching this because you don't have anything else to do and you want to escape your life for a little while. If this is the case, SATC will give you just the right amount of real life to be engaging, but not so much as to be annoying.My most serious complain is the transformation of Carrie after mid-season 5. The character was never mature enough for her age, but after episode 2 or 3 of season 5, she becomes a spoilt little princess, and incredibly superficial. And Charlotte, who was always more a stereotype than a real character, becomes a caricature of herself in season 6.I don't want to rate SATC. I'm not labeling it as good or bad. I tried to write a non-judgmental review, trying my best to show what it is, rather than what it should have been.
