The Beau and I, in preparation for Sex And The City 2, and in addition to perfecting our cosmopolitan recipe, crammed for several weekends and have come out on the other end of all six seasons of SATC alive and entertained. Now, this isn’t our first time tackling the series, but each time is special in its own way. I know it’s easy to hate the show from afar, but watch it and you’ll fall in love with it. Watch it for hours and hours straight and you’ll start connecting everything that happens to you to an episode of the show. Example: “That sounds just like that time Charlotte dated the guy who called her a ‘fucking bitch, fucking whore’ when he came…” or “This is just like the time Samantha was wearing the pearl thong up all those flights of stairs…”
Since not everyone has the time, patience, or desire to sit through six entire seasons and one long movie before the sequel comes out, we’ve chosen ten episodes that we really like. They’re not the most essential to understanding the series or the core relationships in it per se, but they’re the ones that make us laugh. Maybe watch one or two of them before the movie to remember just how good the show once was.
Sex And The City (Pilot), Season One
One word: Abso-fucking-lutely.
Oh Come All Ye Faithful, Season One
Samantha falls for “James and his tiny penis,” Miranda dates the Catholic playwright who showers after sex, and Big won’t introduce Carrie to his mom.
The Man, The Myth, The Viagra, Season Two
Miranda meets Steve and expects a one-night-stand, Samantha dates an old guy who “hung with these cool cats in Cuba” (and whose naked butt inspires her to flee the apartment), back with Big, Carrie invited him out with the girls and everyone is touched when he actually shows up, especially Miranda, who chases Steve into the rain for a tear-jerking kiss.
20-Something Girls Vs. 30-Something Women, Season Two
The girls go out the Hamptons, where Charlotte gets crabs and Carrie sees Big. With Natasha. While she’s wearing a sparkly cowboy hat. Then she pukes on the beach.
Easy Come, Easy Go, Season Three
Charlotte proposes to Trey and he says “Alrighty,” Carrie runs into Big and he tells her it’s over with Natasha, they start a steamy affair while poor chumpy Aiden is sanding her floors, and Samantha’s dating a guy “with the funkiest tasting spunk.”
Hot Child In The City, Season Three
Carrie meets a guy in a comic book store and finds out he lives with his parents. They get stoned, listen to Hot Child In The City, and when he gets busted by his mom and blames Carrie, she takes the weed and enjoys it with her girlfriends.
The Real Me, Season Four
Carrie walks (and falls) in a fashion show (produced my Margaret Cho) in Dolce undies and is stepped over by Heidi Klum and Charlotte learns her vagina is depressed.
Belles of the Balls, Season Four
Carrie and Aiden are doing well the second time around and for some reason, Carrie is trying to do the friend ting with Big. Big, meanwhile, is dating Willow Summers, a movie star. And when she breaks up with him, he takes a left by the sign for farm fresh squash and arrives at Aiden’s country house, where the two proceed to fight in the mud.
The Post-It Always Sticks Twice, Season Six
Charlotte doesn’t want to make a big deal over the fact she’s getting married a second time–until she does. Meanwhile, Samantha starts falling harder for Smith while Berger breaks up with Carrie via Post-It note. Then she gets stoned.
The Domino Effect, Season Six
Miranda is dating (and sexing) the hot Knicks doctor. Steve walks in on them, slams into the wall trying to run away, and ends up with a tampon up his nose. Big’s in town for a “heart thing” and Carrie can’t stop crying about it. He eludes to growing old together as she takes care of him, but the next morning he’s back to his old emotionally-distant ways.
