Bittersweet

It's mercifully just ended.

Stuck in one of those situations where it'd be impolite to throw a chair at the TV set (not my gaff) but I can't just walk out.

Excruciating stuff. No dicernable, credible timeline, 2 dimensional off the shelf characters, perfunctory plot, ... it's like fair city with a budget.

I haven't wanted to just die so badly since Glass Tigers 'Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone' got stuck in my head. (meant to post that living nightmare in the I've got a stupid song in my head thread)

It had Deirdre O'Kane in it, of course it was gonna be ****;).

Jesus i remember that - circa 86, first trip to the states, also Stevie Winwood 'higher love' - god i am getting old:(

It was truely awfull i was forced to turn over Batman Begins which i hadnt seen yet ( brilliant by the way ) to watch that rubbish.

Deirdre o Kane's anoying voice the bird from the spar ad with the sack race the other one was kinda hot so she was ok.
Really poor even the missus thought it was crap.

The whole all men are evil and they will hurt you !! and you can tell how they are all good friend by how much fun they have working together. was done to death.

The woman with the family goes out dancing with fancy men buying her champainge then has a fit when the husband bangs the babysitter .... i tell you its one rule for them ........

Still it was a billions times better than having to sit through an other episode of sex in the city

They set themselves up for a fall by actually actively comparing it to Desperate Housewives in the promotion

Don't forget they only needed ...what? ... 48 hours?, a girly night in and some oversized wine glasses to turn a dead pub into a thriving business. A relaunch! Eureka ...why didn't whatsisface from Apres Match think of that? :o

God help us all this summer - http://www.sexandthecitymovie.com/

was it not more aimed at the "ladies"?
What did they think of it....
also was wondering why that supermilk ad has been resurrected seemingly at random.

Its completely aimed at the ladies and the dumber ones at that, the dumber ones will think yea this is great we are showing the men that we don’t need them that the girls can do it on there own. While the smarter ones are going oh my they have stereotyped us into the same 3 clichéd categories of irish women. Widowed/divorced/housewife and stuck the men in the 1 stereotyped category of sleazy cheats , They even set the apres match guy up as the bad guy when in fact he was bursting his arse to give his family everything they wanted long before the baby sitter incident.

I didn't watch that tripe on RTE, but Amen to this. If I have to sit through another episode of that ****e I really will follow through on my mass murder threat. I remember I was in the room whilst my girlfriend and a few of her mates watched it, I spent ages ranting about how the ginger one Miranda is the biggest idiot of the lot, and why, and about 5 minutes after I'd ended my rant I told one of my gf's least likeable friends that she's a lot like Miranda (the friend liked her the most), and she took it as a compliment! :o for her

disturbing insight into Jebusland there...:eek:

I just don’t get that Sex in the city show at all

1 looks like a foot
1 is ginger
1 is elderly
1 is kinda hot but a spa

They are the most self obsessed nasty materialistic backstabbing bitches ive ever come across.that moan about they cant get a man.

At least that desperate housewives show has that hotty in it.

that would be some woman............:D

Agree - this was utter drivel but almost by accident, there was nearly a good show there.

The script was infeasibly bad "It was a moment of madness" when Apres Match was confronted about the nanny - staggeringly bad dialogue.

But, there was one moment where the show nearly showed promise - when the cute blonde was breaking up with the toyboy, he delivered a few lines which were actually potentially something - he described her as being cold, almost inhuman, despite the attractive bubbly, blonde, vivacious, 21st century, tiger cub, she was actually struggling with identity.

The suggestion was that the celtic tigress was all a show and that it masked her insecurity and her lack of clarity over what she actually wanted to do and be.

Now, that is a show, but not this nonsense. All it needed to be semi decent was to delete all of the nanny / pub going down swanny / OKanes return to ireland / Apres Match living in caravan pants, and focus on the identity struggles of modern ireland and how upwardly mobile types in their late 30's deal with pendiung or actual parenthood and what values will we pass to our children.

This is a show - not the unmerciful drivel that this foisted upon us.
