I can't get the link to the actual article (on wga.org) to work, so I'll post this link instead. Regardless, it's a pretty fun list, I think.

ETA: Did I say "fun"? I meant "bad." It's a bad list. (Sorry, y'all, lol.)

I didn't see it either, which is too bad, as it's a whole lot better than any other sketch comedy, and it's not really close.

Same.

The Sisters story just wasn't appropriate for that show, in my view I also felt like it came too much on the heels of so many depressing stories. Georgie worked best as the wife and mother and support for everyone. The show wanted it both ways with Carrie and Big - they were presented as toxic and damaged, yet also as a classic romance. The former became suffocating enough that I had lost all interest in them by the last years of the show.

I agree. I grew to hate the character of Carrie and her soul destroying obsession with Big. I even hated the first SaTC film, because of how Big just "dropped out" in being involved in their wedding. I hated, that Carrie had to "learn" how to be/deal with Big and how it was always on his terms. Another poster had made mention, that Big was always around, when he was ready to go back to Carrie, because she would eventually drop whatever and whomever was in her life, at that time, to make herself available to him.

Their relationship (well, most of all the relationships on the show), were never on the same, solid ground and I just thought that it took away from the strength, support and love that the four main characters had for each other.

I never saw Aiden, as being this living saint, who always made Carrie sad about her choices. I saw him, as a nice guy that got screwed twice, by the woman that he fellfor, because she just couldn't be alone OR admit that she wanted Big, no matter how horribly he treated her, throughout their off and on obsession for each other.

I enjoyed reading the list, but I'm so glad OZ was chosen as 101. It seems like critics/writers always forget, that OZ put HBO on the map for dramas, back in 1997. Six to nine months before The Sopranos and SATC aired.

The only show I watch/have watched on that list is Homeland. LOL. Glad it made the list/is in top 50! Spectacular television.

Looking through the list I realized that I've only really watched (as in watched consistently, or at least watched the majority of episodes) around 25-30 of the shows on it.
