Sex and the City
''Sex and the City'' is an American television romantic sitcom created by Darren Star and produced by HBO. Broadcast from 1998 until 2004, the original run of the show had a total of 94 episodes. Throughout its six-year run, the show received contributions from various producers, writers and directors, perhaps most significantly from Michael Patrick King.
Set and filmed in New York City and based on the 1997 book of the same name by Candace Bushnell, the show follows the lives of a group of four women—three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties—who, despite their different natures and ever-changing sex lives, remain inseparable and confide in each other. Starring Sarah Jessica Parker (as Carrie Bradshaw), Kim Cattrall (as Samantha Jones), Kristin Davis (as Charlotte York), and Cynthia Nixon (as Miranda Hobbes), the quirky series had multiple continuing storylines that tackled relevant and modern social issues such as sexuality, safe sex, promiscuity and femininity, while exploring the difference between friendships and romantic relationships. The deliberate omission of the better part of the early lives of the four women was the writer's way of exploring social life - from sex to relationships - through each of their four very different, individual perspectives.
The series received both acclaim and criticism for its subjects and characters, and spawned two feature films, ''Sex and the City'' (2008) and its sequel ''Sex and the City 2'' (2010), and a prequel series by The CW, ''The Carrie Diaries''. It also won seven of its 54 Emmy Award nominations, eight of its 24 Golden Globe Award nominations, and three of its 11 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations. ''Sex and the City'' still airs in syndication worldwide and has been listed on ''Entertainment Weekly''s end-of-the-decade "best of" list and as one of ''Time'' magazine's 100 Best TV Shows of All-''TIME''. The show placed #5 on ''Entertainment Weekly'' "New TV Classics" list. In 2013, TV Guide ranked it at #40 on its list of the Best Series of All Time.〔(TV Guide Magazine's 60 Best Series of All Time )〕
==Origins==
The show was based in part on writer Candace Bushnell's 1997 book of the same name, compiled from her column with ''The New York Observer''. Bushnell has stated in several interviews that the Carrie Bradshaw in her columns is her alter ego; when she wrote the "Sex and the City" essays, she used her own name initially; for privacy reasons, however, she created the character of Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Carrie Bradshaw was a writer living in New York City. Carrie Bradshaw and Candace Bushnell have the same initials, a flourish emphasizing their connection. Moreover, just as Carrie Bradshaw eventually gets her articles for the fiction 'New York Star' published as a book in later series, the entire Sex and the City series is based on a compilation of Bushnell's own columns for the 'New York Observer'.
