About Sex and The City

Created by Darren Star, this series redefined the single life for thirtysomething urbanites. For sex and relationship columnist Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), life as a thirtysomething single in New York City is a whirlwind of fabulous parties and plenty of dates. She and her friends -- sarcastic Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), demure Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and flamboyant Samantha (Kim Cattrall) deal with life, love, and relationships. Men may come and go, but these four women will always have each other. They bond over brunches, vent over vodka martinis, and sympathize while on a shopping spree. As Carrie says, maybe they don't need men -- maybe they're each other's soulmates.

They might not need men, but that doesn't mean they're not going to have fun dating. Over the span of six seasons, just about anything can -- and does -- happen to the ladies as they hit the dating scene. From the revolting, slobbery kisser to the Viagra-popping Don Juan, the repressed Catholic to the twentysomething slob, they dine with (and sleep with) a veritable catalog of Manhattan men. But Carrie and company don't label every guy a lost cause. There are men that stick around, too -- from suave, mysterious Mr. Big (Chris Noth) to kind, genuine Steve Brady (David Eigenberg). Sincere Aidan (John Corbett), who just wants to get married, and WASPy, old-money Trey MacDougal (Kyle MacLachlan).

Through it all, the women turn to each other for support, sympathy, laughs, and advice. In a cloud of perfume and Prada, the fabulous foursome tackles the NYC dating scene with style, aplomb -- and a much-needed sense of humor.

Charlotte: You exchanged keys, that's big! Carrie: No, that's the opposite of Big. I don't believe in email. I'm an old-fashioned gal. I prefer calling and hanging up. --Carrie Maybe the best any of us can do is not quit, play the hand we've been given and accessorize the outfit we've got. -- Carrie If it's so hard to get pregnant, how do you account for the number of crying children on planes? -- Samantha Men who are too good looking are never good in bed because they never had to be. -- Carrie Charlotte: Maybe we should get married. Trey: Alrighty. It's not baggage, it's Biggage. -- Carrie I once was broken up with by a guy's doorman. 'Miss Hobbes, Jonathan won't be coming down. Ever.' -- Miranda We were having one of those great first dates you can only have when it's not an actual date. -- Carrie Don't play 'hard to get' with a man who's hard to get. -- Samantha I'm good at crossword puzzles; I'm not so good at people puzzles. -- Carrie Charlotte: I can't believe you would actually consider having a boob job. Miranda: I can't believe you went to Planet Hollywood. Charlotte, you're a MacDougal now! -- Bunny, after Charlotte is found kissing the gardener Charlotte: Do you think I'm a whore? Samantha: Oh, please! If you're a whore, what does that make me? Charlotte: We're having Trey's sperm tested. Miranda: Is it not doing well in school? Aidan: Well, if Miranda doesn't want the kid, can't she just give it to Charlotte? Carrie: No ... it's not like a sweater. I have to hand it to you, kid. Most people come to Paris to fall in love. You came and got slapped. -- Big I got to thinking about relationships and partial lobotomies. Two seemingly different ideas that might just be perfect together - like chocolate and peanut butter. -- Carrie We're not barren; we're reproductively challenged!. -- Charlotte Every day, millions of people suffer from monogamy. There is no known cure. -- Carrie My parents believe that any head problem could be solved with physical exercise. That's why all of us are really good tennis players. -- Charlotte The ratio of women to men in this city is huge. All they have to do is sit outside, have a beer and wait for the Jessicas and Susans to come to them. -- Miranda All women really want is to be rescued. -- Charlotte I write about sex, not love. What do I know about love? -- Carrie I've been dating since I was 15! WHERE IS HE? -- Charlotte Maybe the best any of us can do is not quit, play the hand we've been given and accessorize what we've got. -- Carrie That's the thing about needs. Sometimes when you get them met, you don't need them anymore. -- Carrie
