Sex and the City
I hadn’t ever watched the TV show, Sex and the City. I thought it was a show that promoted teen sex or something like that. An exploitative night time soap.
But tonight, searching for nice TV background noise, I pause for a second with the remote to hear the star character, Carrie Bradshaw, called an “icon” by NCIS’s iconic coroner, Ducky. When Ducky talks, I listen. Ducky plays a heavyweight Ivy league professor who asks the iconic Carrie to be a guest star in one of his classes.
Now THAT’S validation that promises some great writing to come. Carrie Bradshaw will have to prove her legitimacy as a true “iconic writer” in this episode.
I watch the show from the corner of my eye.

Commercial.
The acting is very good. Carrie just did the perfect eyebrow wiggle. So natural!
The lines are written with targeted precision. And Carrie Bradshaw’s narrations are brilliantly conceived and delivered.
I’m impressed.
With some of Hollywood’s FINEST screen writers to write her lines, and having proven its popularity with a huge loyal TV audience consistently for a number of years, this character undoubtedly has some of the most powerful lines of world class writing, ever. No wonder this show is so beloved.
It’s good.
I sigh… there’s no way I will EVER join this rarified league of SlamBam Writers Extraordinaire. Perhaps I should think about going to College. Alot.
Here’s Carrie’s final quote on tonight’s show about 20 somethings vs. older women floors me.
“20 something girls are fabulous… until you see one with someone who just broke your heart.”
Now that’s a line.
Sex and the City… iconic.
