Sex and the City

I watched the tv show.
Loved the movie.
Yes i was like 13.
Yes i still closed my eyes at the sex scenes.

Ok, i loved Sex and the City, still do, and there was just something, i don't know over whelming at seeing it on the big screen. I loved the show, and since its finish have been looking for something classy yet funny and full of drama as it, or as my brother calls it a "trashy whore ridden show". well he is an ass so there.
For the first while, Desperate Housewives filled that gap, but could nowhere near live up to the standards of SATC, i dropped it after season one, getting bored of the storylines and Characters. Which resulted in no shows like it for a while, i picked up new shows which i still watch but none in the same genre as SATC.
Lipstick jungle came about, wasn't interested, and Gossip Girl and so many others more recently, but none took my interest.

However, during the writer strikes, the American tv channels had to come up with a quick source of entertainment. Enter in Cashmere Mafia. 7 episodes, 13 were made only 7 produced, as ABC had concerns about its future programming and promotions. They also decided not to renew it for a 2nd season.
Bullshit. I loved this show, the cast was excellent, i could really feel for the characters and it was funny and agh it was just excellent. I suggest watching it if you liked Sex and the City, as all the other shows tried to be like SATC, but CM didn't they had their own ideas and it does have similarities but it is different.

On the other hand, it is probably for the best it wasn't continued, as it may have turned out like Desperate Housewives, excellent first season and all downhill from there. No show in that genre can hold a torch to SATC, it ran for 6 seasons, 94 episodes and one feature length movie. The cast was excellent, the storylines were good and it was always fun to watch.

I think now is finally a good way to end Sex and the City.
Back to my CSI and Without a Trace and Ghost Whisperer and Heroes god knows what else i watch.
