Full Sex And The City Biography
Sex and the City is a popular American cable television program. The original broadcast run of the show was on HBO from 1998 until 2004, for a total of six seasons.
The show was primarily filmed at New York City's Silvercup Studios and on location in and around Manhattan. Since it ended, the show has been aired in syndication on networks such as TBS, WGN, and many other local stations.
The show was based in part on writer Candace Bushnell's book of the same name, compiled from her column with the New York Observer. Bushnell has stated in several interviews that Carrie Bradshaw is her alter ego; when she originally wrote the "Sex and the City" essays, she used her own name initially; for privacy reasons, however, she created the character of Carrie Bradshaw, a woman with the same career (writer) and same initials.
The narrative of the show focuses on Carrie and her three best girlfriends. (Bushnell has indicated that Carrie's friends are composites of her friends.) Together, Carrie and her friends represented a cross-section of contemporary American women. The women discussed their sexual desires and fantasies, as well as their beliefs and opinions about their "oh-so-sexiness". The show often portrayed frank discussions about romance and sexuality, particularly in the context of being a single woman in her mid-thirties.
Sex and the City premiered on HBO, June 6, 1998, and was one of the highest-rated sitcoms of the season, and the last original episode aired on February 22, 2004, was one of the most watched series finale.
The show became well known and lauded for its frank dialogue about women and sex. Fans of the show say that Sex and the City is a realistic portrayal of the sexual behavior and lifestyles of many urban Americans. An unlikely supporter of the show is author Orson Scott Card. Card stated that although the crudity of the series left him numb, the show contained some of the best writing on television.
Sex and the City has also been criticized for focusing exclusively on wealthy, white characters and ignoring non-whites, the poor, and those living in New York's poorer neighborhoods; the characters themselves have been accused of being elitist. Further, some opined that the show made the four women look shallow by having them talk about nothing but sex.
Michael Patrick King will write and direct, and the four lead actresses will return to reprise their roles, and Chris Noth has signed to reprise his role as "Mr. Big." In addition, Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson will appear in the film as Carrie's assistant. New Line Cinema will be distributing the film, and New Line president of production Toby Emmerich, Richard Brenner and Kathy Busby are overseeing the project. Parker and John Melfi are producing. Filming started on September 19, 2007 in New York City.
The plot of the film, it was also announced, revolves around the lives of the four main characters, four years after the time frame of the finale of the HBO series.
Season one of Sex and the City aired on HBO from June to August 1998. Season two was broadcast from June until October,1999. Season three aired from June until October 2000. Season four was broadcast in two parts: from June until August 2001, and then in January and February 2002. Season five, truncated due to Parker's pregnancy, aired on HBO during the summer of 2002. The twenty episodes of the final season, season six, aired in two parts: from June until September 2003 and during January and February 2004.
Sex and the City is currently syndicated in the United States by HBO corporate sibling (under Time Warner) Warner Bros. Television Distribution. The international rights to the series currently rest with CBS Paramount Television, the successor-in-interest to Paramount's television unit (through its acquisition of original international distributor Rysher Entertainment) now owned by CBS Corporation.
The United States cable channel HBO was the original broadcaster. TBS and WGN began showing edited reruns of the series. The series then went into international syndication.
