Having to endure that Sex and the City night on Friday. Luckily I had my precious laptop to play with, but I could still hear it, which I suppose is only half as bad. First up they had that "slap-on-the-back" show, where they had cast and crew, D-listers and bints from America jabbering on about how much it "re-defined the modern sitcom", and other stupid quotes like that. I mean, come on, the most radical part of the show was that it had small amounts of nudity. If that's enough to redefine the modern sitcom, then Channel 5 is the pinnacle of modern televisual entertainment.
Sex is nothing new in a sitcom. Seinfeld (one of the original and best American sitcoms) tackled such issues as porn, masturbation, oral sex, threesomes, all this at primetime, and it still remains one of the funniest shows on TV, even though the repeats are over ten years old! Friends, which was never really up to the challenge of Seinfeld and constantly stole plots and jokes from it, was all about a group of 20-somethings having sex and relationships.
I already knew the outcome of the final show - I actually read an article about it in a newspaper, because I'm such a good boyfriend and take an interest in my girlfriend's stuff. I'm an even better boyfriend because I didn't ruin it for her (even though I threatened it a few times). It was pretty obvious really. The stupid one with the laptop ended up with the jock, thereby obliterating the notion of remaining single and happy in "the City", which was the point of the show. It could have been written by a GCSE English student.

By 'jock' do you mean 'semi-regular love interest'? Because I don't think he was a jock.
I loved how the slutty one had to get them out one last time in the emotional final montage.

heh.
Women whinging about men for an hour at a time. I can think of nothing more divine. To top it off maybe I could have someone run a grass strimmer over my entire body, before I jump into a bath of salt and vinegar.

Sex in the city was written by Gays. No really it was, some gay guys from NY wrote the sitcom (with a H). I watched ten seconds of it once and had to turn it off. It was so overtly sexist and offensive to men I couldn't stomach it.
I almost shouted to me bee'yatch to stop making the dinner and get her ass into the lounge to see it for herself; even though her "TV day" is Friday evening when I'm down the pub.

I think the two sitcoms that have made the most out of basically just being about sex are Cheers and Frasier. Trouble is they both ran the concept into the ground, thankfully you get something every-so-often that at least tries to break the mould like Spaced (even though the basic premise was still 'will they get it on?' the show managed to only be about 10% about sex).
Ah Seinfeld, the best bit ever was the bit when he goes to confession to talk about the dentist and then George pops in out of nowhere.
Funny as "£$%!
