I love this show! it's quickly become my favorite show. I think this pre-christmas one was my ultimate favorite. I see Max as like a young Carla Tortelli from Cheers. or she could have been raised by Carla. That would be cool... if they have Rea Perlmen come on for an episode and play her mother. I see a lot of similarities of what carla could have been like if Cheers was around now and could get away with the more racy talk.

I used to love TAAHM but this show has become my number one favorite. I hope it lasts for many seasons to come.

Carl, at what point do you think he destroyed SEX AND THE CITY?

I have to say, I shared a lot of the concerns about the diner characters, especially at the beginning. They were horribly one note. I also agree that there has been some work in fleshing them out a bit since then. And he's certainly an equal opportunity offender.

For me season 3 was the beginning of the end - the show became so damn morose, Carrie became pathetic beyond belief, and there were so many desperate attempts to make some melancholy moment. The whole Carrie/Aidan story, poor damaged Carrie isn't going to ever be good enough for noble John Corbett, soured me on a lot of the show. I watched to the end but the characters became increasingly strained and I had more and more of a problem believing any of them were friends. By the end the only friendship I believed was with Charlotte and Mario Cantone.

I also think King destroyed Sex and the City though I didn't mind his first couple of seasons I guess. (I never really understood why Star walked away, though I take it it was his decision). The fact that he was in charge of the final season and the awful movies--plus this report--make me think he truly is clueless about what works in his shows and what doesn't (turning Sex and the City a series about how independant women didn't need mena nd a family to be happy but could form a family of friends into the typical "I need a man to be a success" fantasy is the key example there). ANd it's ridiculous for them to honestly pretend that terms like "facial" are not menat ot be heard as sexual double entendres. As the piece says, it would be one thing if he just owned his show and didn't skirt the issues being asked... (and I do think the show's success is all about the chemisty of the leads--the diner scenes ARE largely terrible).

(Gotta love the old "I'm gay and I write potentially offensive gay jokes so I can write any stereotype I want and not have to justify it or even admit to it...")

OK back to 2 broke girls. I love that Steven Webber is now playing Caroline's father. His photo was shown in the season final but he wasn't actually on it. This time he was. I still say gregory Harrison would have made a great "Martin Channing" but Steven's OK. I hope he comes on more.

Now that it's on at nine, maybe more people will be accepting of it.

      I think the shocker would be if he's NOT playing Dumas. That's where Josh Griffith plays most of his stories. Now they have Cole "self-isolating" because they don't want to put up that hospital set. Will Cole cough himself to death at the GCAC? What a "storyline." I can't believe how much JG is playing with us regarding Nick and Sharon. The teasing has become pathetic, especially for Shick fans who want them back together. My guess is that he'll reveal his real name once he is exposed.

      Maybe we'll meet Leslie's mama who'll be a former Articulette and they'll build the rival family from there that a lot of people seem to think is missing. It'd make sense considering Anita's been hammering on about going on tour and reviving her music career.

      hahaha at the Brennan shade.   But even I saw this and have to agree. What's really sad is that some of the person on that list could easily have a love interest that is on the canvas. They just need to be written for.

      The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.

      True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued.

      That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

      Lol. But Jeffrey was weak to mama. Leslie can go dead because anger is a great motivator via Martin defending HIS mama and just not taking ish altogether. This ain't how it should be. They need not run the show like this. It's too noticeable. The way Eva said mama reminded me of Penny from Good Times. Instead of physical abuse it's mental abuse.

      Yeah, I agree. It's part of the reason I have shade picked on Martin's Secret being so on the backburner that it was about to fall off of it. With Dani/Bill/Hayley being the main tale to start us off and backburned and the SilkPress storyline being well paced, but not set to explode until May, Martin's Secret was the other main storyline that could have been developed. And after giving it a nice slow burn to start off, the story upped and vanished in Month 2. That left the show having to rely on mostly B/C stories to stay afloat to various degrees of success.
