but both Sex and the City and Ally McBeal lost their spark and their originality somewhere after the third or fourth season. The greatest shows are the ones who end when they have to, and don't just drag it on and on and on and onnnnnn. (granted, there aren't a lot of shows like that). Both these series after a while became completely generic. The same can be said of Friends : first two to three seasons? brilliant. funny. provocative, even, sometimes. but after that... ah!

as for the shapes. Well, they're all thin. But then, in Sex and the City for instance, you have characters like Miranda who - before turning into their very own tedious stereotype - actually went against any sappy ideal of what a woman should be : Miranda has no breasts whatsoever, can hardly be qualified as "sexy", is a typical power-woman, ruthless and really not sappy in any way.

Oh a movie, what fun but doubt it would be played in egypt it has sex in the title LOL

well, hey, they played The Yacoubian Building, right? So there's hope!

I couldn't even watch friends after a while, those characters just became parodies of themselves. Joey's show was just painful.

I hate haate haaaaate reality tv shows. I moved out of home when I was a teenager, so to me watching big brother is painful reminders of the flat I shared with friends and their friends(shudder) I love good comedy, but my old time favourite is F Troop. I dunno if anyone out there has heard about it. Its totally politically incorrect but hilarious. I am showing my age now for an old girl. Ill go back to my knitting now
