1. Sex and the City (19982004)
Four beautiful female New Yorkers gossip about their sex-lives (or lack thereof) and find new ways to deal with being a woman in the 90s. I have never met a woman in my age range that has not seen, and what's more, loved, this show - and that's saying something. This is not a classic American show. It had a lot of dark moments, difficult storylines that were hard to watch, sex scenes that were sometimes too realistic, and women who were amazingly imperfect. Even Sarah Jessica Parker, who was considered really hot (really? Have you
seen the ridiculous amazing bodies of Kim Catrall and Kristin Davis?) was all screwed up, and it was glorious. Even though she was a cheater, a smoker, addicted to shoes and clothes, somehow living in this perfect apartment while only writing a column...despite all of that, we wanted her to be with Big, wanted her to be happy. I even liked the first movie they put out, it was small and sweet. The second one was horrific, but we won't go into that here. I repeat again my ongoing theme the focus was not the men or the clothes or the smoking or the apartments. It was the friendship. These four women (on the show at least) were in love with each other, and best friends, for real. Which TV shows of the last 25 years are your favourite? Let us know in the comments below.
