Mike Jensen has seen the Sex and the City series many times. Elise Castle has never seen a single episode.
\n\r\n\r\n\"We Couldn't Help But Wonder\" what would happen if these two went on an episode by episode journey through the whole series.
\n\r\n\r\nJoin us as Mike watches for the (insert embarrassing number here) time and Elise is watching for the very first. We will discuss how the series holds up almost 20 years later, our own experiences living in NYC, and the debate over too much cranberry juice in the Cosmopolitan.

Carrie's light hearted attitude continues to clash with Petrovsky's darker look on life. Charlotte meets a Princess while jogging in the park. Samantha has some decisions to make when she starts to lose her hair. And Miranda may be leaving the island of Manhattan. Plus, an announcement about the future of the podcast.
Carrie gets the keys and alarm code to Alexsandr's apartment and then discovers he's great with kids. For a good reason. Miranda feels trapped on her honeymoon, Charlotte feels exposed while babysitting, and Samantha is determined to see the best doctor in town, but may have competition.
This is a good one! Miranda and Steve make a major decision. So does Samantha, and it leads her somewhere she didn't see coming. Charlotte and Harry have a very memorable night in the name of romance. Carrie's story line is kind of dumb, but the rest is really good, we promise!
Elise and Mike are back to discus the first episode of what even Michael Patrick King refers to as the final season of Sex And The City. Carrie explores her options with the new man in her life, Charlotte considers volunteering, Miranda and Steve come face to face with the ex in the building, and Samantha also has a few decisions to make when she sees her ex. Thus begins the final stretch of our TV series journey.
Elise and Mike look back at the previous twelve episodes of the show and share moments they can't let go of, memorable quotes, and things they may have missed the first time. Plus, Elise talks about tube tops, and Mike finally reveals why he says there are seven seasons of this series. Just like no one was waiting for.
As Season 6 (kinda) comes to an end, Samantha makes a startling discovery, Carrie meets an interesting new man, Charlotte faces a heartbreaking situation, and Miranda finally declares her long hidden feelings. Finally!
Big is back in town, but it's not just to have dinner with Carrie. The issue of how to introduce Steve to Miranda's new boyfriend takes care of itself. Charlotte finds a new way to deal with her fertility issues. And when Smith gets back from filming he wants Samantha to try something she's not entirely comfortable with.
This one is all about High School. Carrie meets up with her High School sweetheart and finds out that the spark is still there. Samantha tells a lie so she can hang with the cool kids. Miranda has a crush but he might be into a cheerleader. And Charlotte finds out something about Marcus right before he and Stanford are supposed to go to the prom! Drama!
Mike doesn't love this episode. Miranda gets to know the hot new guy in her building, which is great, even though Elise just thinks it's a distraction from Steve. Charlotte has an issue with Harry and addresses it, which is basically the healthiest thing that has ever happened on this show. But then Carrie deals with a shoe shaming Mom and Samantha has a very messy lunch. This episode is enraging. Enjoy.
It's another incredibly quickly put together wedding day for Charlotte! Carrie ends up regretting a hook up with the best man, Miranda hides from Steve's new girlfriend, and Samantha is getting used to having Smith around. Plus Michelle Branch!
It's just a few hours from where we left off in the previous episode and two of the girls have major news. Charlotte is engaged to Harry, and Berger broke up with Carrie via a Post-It. Samantha has some advice for how Smith should handle relationship questions in his first big TV appearance, and Miranda has an epiphany after fitting into her "skinny" jeans.
There's a lot of change happening here. Samantha is helping to turn Smith into star, Miranda has to make some changes either at work or at home, and Carrie and Charlotte find themselves in surprising places in both of their relationships. Also, Peter Hermann...
Carrie and Berger take a big step, and Carrie discovers a secret Berger is keeping. Samantha decides to help Jerry pursue his passion. Charlotte deals with the aftermath of her breakup. And Miranda f@#ks up Debbie "B." It's hilarious and heartbreaking.
Berger meets the girls, Samantha learns something real about Jerry, Charlotte makes dinner, Carrie and Berger use the "L" word and Miranda tries out a new catch phrase. Some of it goes okay, some of it goes great, and some of it goes very not well.
Carrie goes to Berger's apartment for the first time, Samantha hooks up with the Raw waiter again, Charlotte converts, and Miranda also has a story line, but here's what this episode is really about. Who do you think Elise thinks costarred with David Duchovny on the X-Files? You have until the final moments of this episode to guess.
Carrie and Berger's relationship continues, with one maybe not so minor issue. Meanwhile Miranda is in a relationship with her television (Mike is so a Miranda), Charlotte has decided to convert to Judaism, and Samantha has her sights set on the hot waiter serving the not hot food. Plus, Elise finally gets to see her doppelgänger.
Elise and Mike are back for Season 6! Carrie is looking forward to her first date with Berger, Charlotte is thinking about making a huge decision involving her ongoing relationship with Harry, Samantha strikes up an affair with a hot and informed guy in her building, and Miranda comes to a sudden and dramatic realization involving Steve.
First we have Season 5 in as many minutes and then Elise and Mike breakdown the journey of this, our shortest season, though there's much to discuss. This was a season where all four of the ladies really had to take a look at who they are and what they want. And just wait until Season 6...
It's the final episode of Season Five! Carrie sees an old friend and then an almost-fling. Charlotte thinks it might be time to get serious with Harry, but there's an obstacle she didn't see coming. And both Samantha and Miranda realize they might still be dealing with relationships past. Cue the butterflies...
It's the penultimate episode of Season 5! Carrie travels to San Fransisco via train on a book tour, but really to hook up with Big. Samantha goes along, but may be in the middle of an existential crises. Charlotte tries out a "sex only" relationship, and Miranda talks on the phone at one point. All aboard!
This episode starts at a cabaret and ends in a farmers' market. How New York. In between Charlotte lawyers up and deals with Bunny face to face, Samantha breaks a "neck massager" and does some babysitting, Miranda meets the mom next door and gets a haircut, and Carrie gets a book review and is the victim of a "face and run." Also, Mary Testa!
It's Carrie's book party! Miranda brings a blast from the past, Charlotte's plus one bails at the last minute, and Samantha arrives after having some face work done. Tiny cakes and Cosmos for everyone!
So this one brought up a few interesting discussions mostly concerning the topic of judgement. As Charlotte looks to self-help books to get past her recent separation, and Miranda joins Weight Watchers to help her lose the baby weight, Samantha and Carrie find themselves in a precarious friendship space where they are both forced to look at judgment, what society expects of women, and what they think of each other.
The ladies are going on a vacation! To (not) celebrate Charlotte's 30something birthday all four women head to Atlantic City. Miranda enjoys gambling but mostly wants to go to her room, Charlotte gives herself an extreme makeover hoping that someone with buy her a free drink, Samantha keeps a watchful eye on Richard and comes to a major decision about their relationship, and Carrie ponders a drama free future. Also, there are a LOT of puns.
Carrie's editor has surprising good news. Samantha is giving Richard a second chance. Steve asks Miranda if they can baptize Brady, which leads to Miranda meeting Steve's "Ma" for the first time. And Charlotte drags Carrie to a self help seminar only to admit she's starting to lose faith. Plus, two guest stars that Elise actually recognized!
Elise and Mike are back with the first episode of Season Five, unofficially called "(Almost) Everyone Shows Their Boobs!" Carrie deals with the ups and downs of her one true love, Samantha confronts her ex in more ways than one, Charlotte tries to figure out who she really is, and Miranda dives into motherhood giant boobs first. Did we mention there are boobs? Ahoy!
If you think the medley of quotes at the end of Season Three was something else, just you wait. Plus Elise and Mike take a deep breath and then work their way, free association style, through all of Season Four, and man oh man, it was a doozy. All the breakups, meet ups, and babies (okay, there was just one baby) in just about 45 minutes. Enjoy, and we'll see you again in Season Five.
It's the final episode of Season Four and so much is happening. Someone is leaving, a new character is arriving, a recent divorcee is trying to date again, and another character is about to get her heart broken. Elise and Mike have a lot to say about all of it and I think everyone can agree there are far too many musical theatre references. As this season ends, a new season has begun.
It's the penultimate episode of Season Four! Carrie has a new job, Charlotte is throwing Miranda a last-minute baby shower, and Samantha is putting a little celebration together for Richard's birthday. A little party of three. (Just don't call him "daddy").
This is one of m'favorites! Aidan has officially moved out and leaves an envelope containing, well, not what Carrie thinks it will contain, forcing her to take a look at her life and finances. Meanwhile, Charlotte is also taking a look at her life, Miranda is feeling frisky while pregnant, and Samantha has Richard's personal shopper take a little liberty with the gift card signing. Best and Love, Elise and Mike.
