The book by Candace Bushnell that follows the lives of four women became a show in 1998. Sex and the City had multiple storylines that tackled relevant and modern social issues such as sexuality, safe sex, promiscuity, and feminity. The show also explored the difference between friendships and romantic relationships.

Despite mixed reviews, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon helped increase HBO’s popularity as a network for their portrayals of Carrie, Sam, Charlotte, and Cythina. The show even became two feature films, Sex and the City, and Sex and the City 2.

The show that debuted three months after the Seinfeld finale proved to be a memorable trip back to the seventies.
