The third season was the charm, as the series earned its first Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series to go along with its Golden Globes for Best Comedy Series and Best Actress (Parker). One of this season’s two principal story arcs concerned hapless-in-love Charlotte and her pursuit of a husband; enter (if only…) Kyle McLachlan as the unfortunately impotent Trey

The fourth season is just as smart and sexy as ever, mixing caustic adult wit and sharply observed situation comedy on the mean streets of Manhattan, though this time the quartet of singleton city girls must endure even tougher combat in the unending war of love, sex, and shopping.

It was a short but sweet fifth season, as HBO’s resident comediennes found themselves affected by forces beyond their control–the pregnancies of both Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon.

After a long wait–like the entire fifth season–Carrie is dating again. The sixth season starts with Carrie and her sparkly new potential, Berger (Ron Livingston), trying to leave past relationships and hit it off, with mixed results.

With the last eight episodes of the sixth season, HBO’s grand sitcom concluded, leaving untold numbers of women–and many men–feeling deprived. The six-year series certainly did not outlast its welcome; the final season is some of the best TV had to offer in 2004.
