SEX Opener!!
“It’s written by drag queens, isn’t it?” – Tina Fey, speaking of “Sex and the City.”
Ms. Fey’s offhanded comment on Dennis Miller’s HBO show has colored forever my perception of Samantha’s excitement over Fleet Week and her joy over her boyfriend’s “perfect dick,” to say nothing of Carrie’s comment about “baby’s first drag show.”
HBO premieres the fifth season opener 9 p.m. Sunday.

TV Guide says:
It's “Fleet Week” in Manhattan as the Emmy-winning comedy sets sail on its fifth season. Only eight new episodes are scheduled this summer, owing to Sarah Jessica Parker's pregnancy, a development that will not be incorporated into Carrie's storyline. After giving Richard the heave-ho, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) navigates an ocean of eligible sailors, while Charlotte (Kristin Davis) casts off her inhibitions and tries to land one of her own. Carrie, on the other hand, begins to wonder if her one true love is New York City. In another part of town, new mother Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) struggles with some unsettling problems of her own, of the navel variety.
The Hollywood Reporter says:
"Bonus" episodes shown in May, all of them with the show's trademark hilariously bawdy humor, nonetheless revealed more heart and tenderness than skin. The new season continues in that direction, seamlessly mixing ribald comedy with sensitive drama, ratcheting the series to the next level.
USA Today says:
Sex continues to offer one of TV's most appealing stars in Parker and some of TV's most cynically witty exchanges. ("Are you going to make fun of everything?" "No, I'm not that quick.") Still, there's no question the two episodes of Sex made available for review are less freewheeling than some may like. This is a mellower, sweeter Sex, without some of the highs, but also without many of the vulgar lows.
Entertainment Weekly says:
The first two episodes I've seen of season 5 stand among the best the series has produced, since they brazenly address nearly every complaint any viewer or critic has suggested about ''Sex'' after all these years … Fortunately, creator Darren Star, exec producer and show runner Michael Patrick King, and the show's writers and directors never forget that one of ''Sex'''s artistic models is '30s and '40s screwball comedies, and so they maintain a rapid-fire pace, with quick scenes and ceaseless, ribald chatter.

YOUR MOUTH COBOL!

"one of TV's most appealing stars in Parker"

The redhead has shown hers?! I thought she was just as much a prude as SJP. Can't wait for more "Sluts in the City." Man, that show is clever.

Did anyone see the Tina Fey episode? If you did, did you cringe when the guy called in and expressed his love for Tina Fey (and as he said "her sexy scar") by mentioning that he had his pants around his ankles and was masturbating? I sure did. The worst part of Dennis Miller Live (1994-2002 RIP) has always been the retarded callers from the East Coast. Last week with Dana Carvey was great because they finally realized (nine years too late) that the callers add nothing to that show and probably detract from it.

If there's nothing I love more than "Friends," it's rich white women on TV bitching about their oh so "naughty" lives. You see folks, I won't have to trouble myself with worrying about obtaining the beautiful, white anorexic girl that TV had made it's standard of beauty because of this very show. How you ask? Well, simple. I can have a satisfying, non-sexual relationship with a unique girl and leave my getting fucked up to the network executives who do it oh so well.

today I was feeling down, but I knew I had to throw a Sex in the City party tonight for all my loving friends! They all showed up in herds! 12 of us sat around my living room pouring the wine and gearing up for another season of SEX! Needless to say, we were entertained and happy Sex is back in full gear! It left me with a happy smiling face and I am looking foward to throwing sex parties all summer long! Cheers to the cast and writers of one of televisions funniest and wittiest shows ever!

Sorry, very tired, bored at work and feeling silly.

The others are kind of... interesting looking. I remember Cynthia Nixon from "Pelican Brief," where she played Julia Robert's ugly best friend. I don't think the show is so much snobby as aspirational; some people watch it, get the wrong idea and wish their lives could be like that. I simply laugh and recoil in horror, which is exactly what the writers intend.
-
...I believe Darren Star once made a comment to the effect that the 4 women were written as gay men, and if you watch it for that, the dynamic is there. Take it for what it's worth.

This show never gets old. And I would take Sarah Jessica (or any of the other 3) over those ugly bitches on Friends or the donkey-faced Jennifer Garner any day. SJP is just adorable. Calista Flockhart is gone from tv, so is Sela Ward, there is a serious babe shortage on television right now. Wendie Malick from Just Shoot Me is still pretty hot for an older chick.
-
Used to be a big fan of the show, but it's just getting retarted. Waaaay too many puns in the dialogue, the characters are getting farther and farther from reality, and SJP is getting skinnier and skinnier (eat a fucking sandwich or something). Like I said, this used to be one of my favorite shows, but I was wanting to change channels 15 minutes into last night's episode. Blech. I think I'm done with this bullshit.

Personally, I was not looking forward to the new season of "Sex." I used to like the show but felt it played itself out last year and I'd rather see new Sopranos or at least new Curbs. But I watched the new "Sex" and was surprised. It was pretty good. The cat eating the belly-button scab was pretty fuckin' hysterial. With regard to Sept. 11, I think the show is approaching to it indirectly, with references about the city as a whole, rather than putting it right out front. I don't want to see the chicks sharing a moment of silence at Ground Zero. There's no way they could do something like that that wouldn't exploit the tragedy.
-
It's over. Kill it. SJP has never been classically pretty, more like cute, but despite the best efforts of makeup, she's starting to look like a mummy in some shots. Kim Cattrall is like what, 47 or so? She looks good for her age but come on. Her character is just ridiculous. Why doesn't she just become a hooker? Kristin Davis has always been the prettiest one, with the best body (actually has curves compared to the other sticks), but they make her character so whiney and annoying it's hard to even think she's attractive. Hey let's watch a ridiculously cliched show about a bunch of desparate aging spinsters as seen through the eyes of a gay male. I don't think so.

Why the long face? Bwhaahaha! Sorry about that...by the way this show does indeed suck! More Curb less Sex! Did I just write that?! Damn Im gettin old..
