Blazed a trail for millions of single women
Sex and the City blazed a trail for millions of single women. While yes, it is technically just a television program, it was a harbinger of a new way of looking at Being Single in America. While these four women had all the same worries and crises of I and all of my girlfriends regarding single life, the themes of the series argued that it’s ultimately OK to be single, that happiness comes in its time, and one’s friends are what is truly important. I will forever exalt any support, from any quarter, for the concept of friends-as-family, the idea that one must rely on herself for identity and worth, and the conviction that every girl deserves nice shoes.

A place were you belong
Its 10 o'clock and its finally time. It is "Me-time" or actually it's "Sex and the City-time"! I have been waiting all day for the free space this serial gives me. It is one hour where problems, stress and obligations are totally out of my system. Its just me and "the girls" (Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha). I love everything about the serial. The clothes, the parties, the dates, Carrie's column, the city; New York and most of all the four fabulous characters. I actually think I'm in love! It is amazing how a tv-program can make you feel a part of something - a place were you belong. Where I belong and most of all where I feel safe, because I know whatever happens it will all be back next Thursday at 10 o'clock!

Better unclean
Another tv show I've been addicted to recently. The characters are so well written and the acting is terrific. You really care about each character and every week it made me laugh. Seeing it "cleaned up" for re-runs on TBS makes me appreciate how great it was when it left in the bawdy language and situations. A true original.

Truly connected with
SATC is the first TV show I really, truly connected with on every level, it is so easy to forget that this show is not real and that the characters are just that. Not only a one-of-a-kind show, it was absolutely inspirational. The relationship shared between these four characters is amazing. This show has really taught me a lot about myself and the life that is possible with the right friends. (The clothes, handbags, and shoes aren't half bad either.)

Independent female attitude
I nominate Sex and the City because it taught me everything I needed to know about sexual liberation without having to have the embarrasing "mom-to-daughter" conversation. I have a more self-confident, single, independent female attitude now, without having to have gone through lots of experiences.

It doesn't make a difference
I enjoy the show immensely, but for me it isn't a lovemark. Its fun, but it doesn't make a difference to my life if I don't catch an episode.

My most beloved TV series
Sex and the City is my most beloved TV series. Everybody knows and loves Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Every man and woman could find a little piece of themselves in one of the girls. I love the idea of a regular Sunday Brunch in a cool New York establishment with my closest friends. I love the countless dates and shopping-tours, and I also love the subtle wisdom tacked on the end of every segment. Sex and the City connects my real life with the life I'd like to live. The girls take everything with a big helping of humour and they've shown me how important it is to have good friends around. Sex and the City has changed my life. The girls have taught me to take it easy when s&%t happens, because with a little help from my friends, everything will be alright in the end.
