Nope. I got blasted with commercials for it as I was watching Gossip Girl on demand and now that I think I have a fairly good understanding of the show… not interested. Plus, the girl they picked for Carrie looks nothing like SJP.

I’ll probably watch the first few episodes…I miss SATC so much!!!

@Mrs. Fireworks:  That sucks! SJP left some pretty big shoes to fill.

I am on the fence about it, I want to but I am worried it wont be as good, or wont follow the story lines that were set up in Sex and the City, cuz Carrie does mention her past a bit in the orginal series, so i hope it does.  Also will the fashion and shoes be worth it to watch as well… lol  I probably will give it 2 or 3 episodes and see how it goes, fingers crossed it’ll be good 🙂

I’m going to give it a try, but not sure it will even compare.

 @mypinkshoes:  It starts on January 14.

I see everyone has the same worries as I do. Show won’t compare, won’t follow the storyline already started in SATC, and most terrifying is the lack of fashion. Fashion was one of the SATC highlights. This will only be 80’s and 90’s fashion. Even the most high end fashion will still just be 80’s and 90’s fashion. What will they do?

But like Mrs. Wallaby, I miss SATC so much, I am willing to take a chance to have even a piece of my beloved show back.

I loved SATC!  I went and found the trailer on youtube.  Ehhhh…the main character is too cutesy for me.

I’ll give it a shot- only because I’m VERY curious. I mean it obviously won’t be a raunchy as S&TC was because it’s on network television and it stars a bunch of young girls, but we’ll see. Gossip Girl wasn’t something I was into, so if it’s a similar type of deal, no thanks!

I liked the book so I’m gonna give it a shot.  It’s supposed to be set in the 80s and from the previews it didn’t look overly 80s to me.  Some outfits sure but not like how I had pictured.  We’ll see — I’ll be giving it a shot cuz I love SATC.

Nope. Not really interested in 80’s culture.

Hmm I hadn’t heard about, just looked up a preview. I’m not a fan of the girl they picked to play Carrie (she looks WAY too young, I know she is 19, but she just looks like a baby!) but I loved SATC and would be willing to watch a few episodes. But it all depends on how well it’s written, how true it stays to the original, etc.
