Sex and the City- NOT for your mom

[Cheyenne]

Never watch "Sex and the City" for the very first time with your mom.

I had never seen the show before, and last night I had the opportunity to watch HBO. With my mom. I said I'd heard a lot of good things about the show and wanted to see it to know what all the fuss is about.

About the time a guy told one of the main female characters that she needed to "touch up down there, she was getting a bit bushy" (or something to that effect) I almost lost it. But, I kept a straight face. Then at the end of the show they showed him standing there with hair dropping at his feet, her with an electric razor in her hand and a smile on her face. I couldn't hold back the chuckle as he was looking down at himself and said "wow, look how much bigger my dick looks!" Mom was pretending she didn't hear the TV anymore by this point.

No, I haven't told my mom about the benefits of Magic Lotion.

Well that blew that response.

Shouldn't everyone know about Magic?

HEY MOM... Cheyenne has something to tell you. Yup, over here Mom. It's about that Bush. No, not him...

 

[Cheyenne]

Well that blew that response.

Shouldn't everyone know about Magic?

HEY MOM... Cheyenne has something to tell you. Yup, over here Mom. It's about that Bush. No, not him...

Hehe... I was thinking just that, too! She'd probably have heart failure if I mentioned there was a much easier way to get rid of the hair than the method the TV show used.

this might just be my complete and total ignorance of the topics discussed on that show but could someone explain to me where, precisely, it's supposed to be funny? There aren't jokes, it's just recognition laughs. I mean, Seinfeld was funny, The Sopranos is funny. Sex and the City, I have to assume, is a weird breeder girl acquired taste.

Are you kidding? My Mom sends me copies of her tapes, because I'm too cheap to get HBO. She's seen them all, has them catalogued.

Then again, she also owns the Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices, too, so maybe she's not quite like everyone else's mom.

And the "breeder" thing rears its ugly head...again.
I have some questions about this term, FJ. Maybe you can help.
Do all straights qualify, or just those who want and/or have kids? What about bisexuals?
And, is the dehumanizing aspect of the term, comparing humans to purebred animals raised as objects and possessions, supposed to make people more amenable to seeing each other as equals somehow--i.e. equal rights? Or is it just meant to be offensive, a slap at straights?

Well, which did she say she does? LOL

I know the feeling though. That's why I just never understood the family posting groups that sometimes show up here at Lit. No way in a million years would I have my mom come here. There are some things about me she just does not need to know.

I love this show

and my Mom watches it too.. we sometimes watch it together. As a matter of fact, I've missed the new season shows and she's called me to tell me how funny it is.

I hear that Sarah J. is getting back with the guy from Northern Exposure. He's way too sexy. I'm in lust with that man.

I feel lucky to have the type of relationship with my Mother that I can enjoy shows like this with her.

 

[Lizard_king309]

I always watch that show.

We don't have HBO...

How un-American right...help! I rented the whole first season of the Soprano's so I could see what the hell everyone was talking about. It was 27 hours on 5 tapes. By the time I was done, I owed the video store 37 bucks (OK, I still owe it and I'll never pay it), and I felt like I had lived through Groundhogs Day as Bill Murray. It was good, but $37 wouldn't have gotten me a year of HBO, now I just need a new video store so I can rent old Sex in The City's.

The saddest thing about not seeing it is that I am totally hot for Kim Catrell, well at least I was in Live Nude Girls, and The Wonder Years...she's getting a little long in the tooth, but she's still hot.

A long time ago, I saw "The Competition"(an old piano movie with Richard Dreyfuss, and Amy Irving) with my father. There's a pretty hot sex scene in it and I still want to crawl away on the floor thinking about it, sex and parents is bad...but my parents, ugh worse!
