S9 E8 Sex and the City: Series Finale – A Sweet Tea & TV Watch Along – Part Une
We did it. The finale was watched. Snacks were had. And more snacks. And more snacks. (And maybe a few more.) Then we talked about it. Post sugar crash, but if we were to put our mind on it - that’s like a pretty good metaphor for the end of Sex and the City. A sugar crash. You want something. You get it. Is it what you wanted? Let’s talk about it. Part un that is. Part deux coming at you on Thursday. Reads for ya’: Why Sex and the City Wasn't Supposed to End the Way It Did

S9 E7 Sex and the City Extra Sugar: ST&TV Book Club - SATC Unfiltered
Ooh! It was definitely the age un-innocence in the 90s in NYC. And with that opening note, we hereby call to order the Sweet Tea & TV Book Club. This time, we’re reading Sex and the City – Candace Bushnell’s collection of essays that has inspired three TV series, two feature films, and nearly 30 years of fandom. We’re discussing its themes, how it compares to the TV series, and of course, the woman who inspired the character of Carrie in the first place: Candace Bushnell.

S9 E7 - Sex and the City: Whadwe Miss, Whadwe Miss? The Catchall Episode
“I couldn’t help but wonder” – how many good SATC episodes had we missed in our breakneck season? No need to wonder – the number is 57. There’s no time for that, BUT – we will knock out one final handful of unmissable ones. And, then, because our time in the Big Apple is almost over, we’ll talk about the series, make sure Nikki’s pre-season questions were answered, revisit our series superlatives, and determine which SATC character we are. And, ‘just like that’, we’ll be ba

S9 E6 Sex and the City: Alrighty Then – The Men of Sex and the City
Women, women, women – it’s allllll we ever talk about. Like, when will men get a shot?? Today. They get their shot today. Who are the men of Sex and the City? And who are the men behind those men? We’ll break it down. Then we’ll give them our “watch party” treatment, followed by their own round of superlatives because it’s really time to figure out…who is the best at being the worst? And, ‘just like that’, we’ll be back later this week to talk about the actors and others be

S9 E5 Sex and the City Extra Sugar: Fashion Notes
We’ve hinted. We’ve mentioned, but now we must discuss in greater detail – the fashion of SATC. What they wore was more than simply clothing – it showcased who they were as characters, as women in the world. It gave them authenticity as New Yorkers, and it evolved right alongside their lives. Join as we discuss the woman behind the clothes; the show’s fashion legacy; and a breakdown of each character’s signature style and best looks. Some reads for ya’ – Patricia Field Ca

S9 E4 Sex and the City Extra Sugar: Power, Paychecks, and the Fallout
The fact of the matter is that TV sets are workplaces and workplaces get messy. But, the messiness factor is a bit magnified on the big screen. This “Extra Sugar” is all about the behind-the-scenes drama on SATC. But, to level set - we’re not fueling the flames of gossipy rumors about drama that seem to follow women’s shows. No, we’re going to focus on a few sources that we consider to be reputable and honest and we’re going to try to stick to the ladies’ words themselves, or

S9 E3 Sex And the City Extra Sugar: From Serious Strides to Dust Bunnies
We’re ready to celebrate all the ways SATC was wayyyyy ahead of its time. But, also, in the interest of telling the full story, we’ll also talk about the things that have gotten a little dusty as time has marched on. Or, as Salina framed it - from the dusty bits to the shinier parts. And, ‘just like that’, we’ll see you next week for our look at one of New York’s most glamorous PR gals, Ms. Samantha Jones.

S9 E3 Sex And the City: Miranda Hobbes, Esq.
Today’s episode brings us to SATC’s legal representation, Ms. Miranda Hobbes, Esq. Miranda is our to-the-point, cold-hearted (except when she’s not), high-powered lawyer girlie. Miranda is power suits by day and, when they fit, sexy jeans by night. She’s a mom who normalizes only liking your own kid. A professional who doesn’t take any crap. And a friend that has her friends’ backs (whether they like it or not.) We’ll talk about the highs and lows of her character, including

S9 E2 Sex and the City Extra Sugar - What SATC Taught Us About NYC
We could cue this one up with a bunch of puns and song lyrics, but hey, that’s what the episode is for. In this week’s Extra Sugar, we’re talking about SATC’s fifth main character: New York City (but like, really Manhattan, which the show largely favored of the city’s five boroughs). The show lets us know – from the very first frame in the pilot that this is first and foremost – a NYC show. We love it. Honestly, after back-to-back traditional soundstage sitcoms, we’re just g

S9 E1 Extra Sugar: Our Pop Culture Love Letter to SATC
If “Sex and the City” had given us nothing else, it’s incontrovertible that it served the best fashion. Fortunately, it gave us so much more and we’re exploring that in this week’s “Extra Sugar.” SATC said: be fabulous, be broke, be late, be complicated—and somehow make it iconic. Was it realistic? Absolutely not. Was it influential? So ab-so-duck-ing-lute-ly influential we’re still talking about it. Regrettably, I (Nikki) found this piece after I put this segment together,
