Although I wasn't particularly a fan of the TV show Sex and the City' (I thought it tended towards a deplorable crudeness posing as sophistication) I watched this show a few times and liked it more or less, probably because I'm a fan of Eva Longoria more than of the other actresses involved with this project, particularly Felicity Huffman whom I'm really not that into. I thought that the plot was well done-as much as it could be since it was made in a suburban community that looks right out of a 1950 sound stage. I thought that maybe they focused a bit too much on their relationships with their kids-most people and most teenagers especially tend to want to simply have their privacy and deal with their day to day existence with as little contact with others as possible-even if they get along with most people. Ah the new family dynamic brought to you via the big networks-well-its a bit like that. Lots of philandering brings little in the way of interpersonal revelations to the show with that exception being guys and gals realizing that they dig casual sex with people they are not married to-after they have been married for about five years. There are few solid characters on this show (except EL's character who knows the value of life) and basically the show makes a curious statement about its progenitors since many people are quite solid in real life. The show functions at some levels like a form of self justification-like saying 'everybody picks their nose' so its OK to do it whenever you want to when in reality it really isn't so OK to be picking your nose in a fancy restaurant (as in picking your nose at the table is like having sex anywhere with others when you are married) "stay away from film people" is a funny message for a TV show- even if it was unintentional.
