The videos here aren't in order. I didn't realize how bad it was until the episode after Mr.Big got divorced was about Mr.Big getting engaged. What the heck? I had to go to Amazon to figure out the correct sequence and I would just watch it there if I hadn't already spent my money in Google play. I've never had this problem before. The show itself is how I good, just like I remembered but giving three stars for this problem.

Carrie and Big are the dumbest parts of this series. I hate listening to Carrie's dialogue and watching her childish behavior and demeanor. I forward every time they're on screen. Everyone else is entertaining.

Hey You

I feel like an anomaly; so many chicks I know dig this, but I rolled my eyes at it too much. I hate "chick flicks" and "chick lit" for the most part too, so there ya have it. I think those categories often limit the type of characters and writing that can appeal to women. I also hate shopping.
