I used to sneak downstairs and watch this show. I loved seeing their stories, and their lives progress. Of course, the relaunch is different, reflective of the way our changing culture impacts art. However, I'm with you in that this was a necessary show, that was inspiring for so many people. Sure, they're all flawed to some extent but I think that's what makes it a dynamic show. Relationships are difficult and the show nails the difficulties of looking for love, or even navigating relationships (personal and professional) with men. My favorite is Samantha ♥︎
