I remember first hearing rumblings of a possible third movie a few years after that dumpster fire of a second movie came out. SJP was quoted as saying there was "still one story left to tell" and that a "beautiful" script had been developed. Of course, then came the 2-3 years they went back and forth and Kim (and Chris Noth) both said they had no interest. That should have been a sign, but apparently not enough for SJP. So now, we have a show that appears to have been based on bad SATC fan fiction. Yes, Carrie was the pinnacle of Parker's career but she can't go back and make it 1999 again. I always thought Carrie was just a version of Sarah herself which may explain why none of her other roles have had much sparkle to them. SATC was lightning in a bottle and captured the late 90s and early aughts so well. This reboot is nothing more than an insult to the characters they created and developed so well back then. SJP has stayed too long at the fair and ruined the legacy of the best work of her career.

I have really enjoyed this show, particularly since it found its footing (around season 2). I'm a huge Allison Janney fan and I find her to be hilarious in this. I was never a big fan of Faris, but I admit she's grown on me with this role and I think she and Allison play really well off of each other.

They have always done a great job with casting - Mimi Kennedy, Octavia Spencer (who was hilarious here!), Jaimie Pressley, William Fichtner, and Kevin Pollak all fit in perfectly and have/had great chemistry with each other. Some really funny guest stars too, including Rosie O'Donnell whom I absolutely loathe otherwise.

I don't know whose idea it was to bring in the Tammy character but they should be fired immediately. Kristen Johnson plays this character the same way she's played every other character - loud, obnoxious, and completely unfunny. Her comedy has all the nuances of explosive diarrhea. The only time I've ever laughed at her was when she fell out the window on Sex and the City. The Tammy character doesn't add to the show nor does Johnson's brand of comedy fit in with the others.

I hope she's not permanent, I'd rather see the camera time given to any of the other actors on this show.
