I too am in both the "hate it" and "love it" camps on Sex and the City. I don't know how you meant that, Tricia, but for me the problem is that I loathe it by every rational measure. Yet I somehow can't look away. And there are events or interactions on it sometimes that ring really true.

Recently I had the braodcast TV version on as background noise. When they went to commercials and the voiceover said "You're watching Sex and the City" it felt like an accusation. Still I could not turn it off...

I just wanted to say thank you. I finally feel like I have a news broadcast that I look forward to hearing on a daily basis. You are fun, not comic relief, you are serious, not boring, most importantly you hit home with extremely important stories that leave your listeners wanting more.
Hats off!! Good luck!!!

Watching Sex and the City makes me feel dirty ... it's like watching my mother-in-law nabbing men and sleeping around. Gyeh...
