When Miranda's mother died. The dressing room scene was Emmy worthy.

This was seriously some brilliant writing. It was emotional without being manipulative. Most shows end up falling into that trap.

[@MR-qz4zj]

It felt so real , so raw , great acting

[@iris089]

It's always a mystery to me why SJP only won an Emmy in the final season of SATC and why Kristin and Kim does not have an Emmy. All of them should have gotten at least 1 Emmy by the end of SATC's 6 season run.

[@AmieMayDoula]

One is my favourite. Miranda and Steve finally realise they love each other and Charlotte finding her strength after a miscarriage. It’s brilliant.

[@megshells]

it’s mine too ❤

Charlotte & Harry's wedding - the best episode ever!!!

[@hannahmoran3660]

When Charlotte and Harry have their little exchange at the reception ("I think your best man just got us to our 25th anniversary", "And your maid of honor just got us to our 50th"), it's so sweet! He was a fantastic late addition to the show.

[@bingleberryboo8685]

Just because someone is trans doesn't mean you should just let them do whatever they want including disrespecting you and your home and keeping you up all night long. She talked to them. They didn't care. She non-violently let them know she wasn't fcking around. And then attempted to make peace with them again and they finally accepted and understood that they needed to respect each other. So tell me again wtf Samantha did wrong again? That's what I fcking thought.

I love Hot Child In The City too! I always smoke to that episode. 😂

[@seannanana84]

Hot Child in the City and Anchors Away are two of my favorites because they're just really fun episodes

[@johnjohn9959]

"A woman's right to shoes" embodies the whole meaning of SATC. If you disagree, you're missing the point

[@valleygirl2530]

You hit on almost ALL of my favorite episodes of SATC. I love “Sex and the Country” and the one about Balls. They make me laugh every time.

[@BroadwayBabyyy744]

So Glad you opted. for 20 instead of 10!!! Can you do the Golden Girls next?

[@ivetanovotna4783]

Samantha makes each episode unique, funny and so true

[@dieterdelange9488]

Kim Cattrall saved this show IMO.

[@dawggirl]

It used to be The Man, The Myth, The Viagra. I absolutely loved Miranda and Steve first getting together. If you cut 30 seconds out of it, it's flawless.

The episode where Carrie becomes a model is really a top fave ofmine. But there are so many that tugs the heart! Thebest is probably the finale! Gosh, I loved this show!

[@susannpatton2893]

For me the number one should have been what she said after telling Big, Hubble, you're girl is lovely. A horse rares up and she says that maybe somegirls aren't meant to be tamed.

[@DianaIsabel929]

All of these - top choices. Also 20 something girls vs 30 something women - the ho down and Charlotte getting crabs 🤣🤣🤣

[@lhyork1608]

I loved when the girls went over on the ferry to the fireman’s gala and arrive was dancing. Brings back a lot of memories

[@Saffron-sugar]

The one where Smith shaves his head in solidarity with Samantha as she goes through chemo

[@tfptravel.food.peace.3788]

Love this one too!

[@Sillyalways]

I hate when imbeciles watch a SATC short on TikTok, with a moment when a character (usually Carrie) does something they hate and they go out of their way in droves to say how stupid SATC was and how much they hate it. This series was fucking amazing and yes, some stuff didn't age well, but it was well-written and funny and insightful. It changed TV series forever. SATC packed in a half an hour episode more substance and mind than modern 40min-1hour episodes where everything has a disclaimer, ten explanations, and more virtue signalling than a pastor collecting money for their next jet. I'll take one bad SATC episode any day than most of bland TV shows nowadays.

[@alarmcaller]

Season 3 & 4 were the BEST!!!

[@LeandroSilva-vj2vy]

Indeed

[@TracyPerson1]

[@mr.m7002]

Love this show but not the recent reboot! Thank you!

[@theyouth2000]

Same sentiment. How it gets worse by the time AJLT season 2 ended. Practically ruined what we love about these girls and others (Except Samantha).

[@BlessYourHeart254]

Coulda Woulda Shoulda is my favorite

[@Bluemoonsouth]

One of my favorite is when Miranda’s mom died. Everyone had me crying. I hurried and called my mom to hear her voice.

[@einezcrespo2107]

The Real Me is peak SATC. It's a personal favorite. Lexi Featherstone death shocked me in Splat! Post It Sticks Twice is also a classic with Carrie's speech to Berger's friends. That cop was funny "I'm sorry I can't. Don't hate me." 😂

[@freeinghumanitynow]

"Hot Child in the City" was something else. Wild stuff.

It will always be the "One". With Miranda declaring Steve is the one she loves and wants to spend life together. Steve agrees and Steve, Miranda, and Brady get back together as a family.

[@jorgewmfrazao]

i don’t remember watching a bad episode in this show and btw i always felt they send a nice message by the end of each one

[@GalvatronStudios]

I recently just finished the entire show and the two movies and I have to say I relate to Charlotte. I also relate to Carrie because she's a collector but mostly to Charlotte.

[@tinagolden1032]

When Carrie gets the down payment for her apartment from Charlotte ❤

[@everydaymarvin2490]

I thought for sure the episode "anchors away" would be on here. It is the start of season 5 and really seems to have a strong overall feel to it. 😊

[@tfptravel.food.peace.3788]

I just finished watching that. 😂 That's one of my favs

[@LauraRosaHorton]

It's key moments - especially the music for me including these scenes: When Miranda runs out to Steve in the rain When Carrie goes back to Aidan after Natasha falls down the stairs When Samantha and Richard dance beside the pool When Miranda has sex with Steve after he picks her the fresh lavender When Miranda and Steve realise they love each other again at Brady's birthday party When Samantha goes back to Smith after having sex with Richard at the party When Smith tells Samantha to hold his hand When Carrie realise Big hasn't changed after the heart surgery When Carrie meets Petrovsky When Carrie is leaving for Paris and tells Big

[@Shinyeepinee]

I love the baby shower episode

[@borderlandwerun]

Ah yes! MsMojo always knows when to bring back the SATC lists. I’m happy to see that most of my favorites are on here!! Here’s my Top 10: 10. Oh Come All Ye Faithful 9. An American Girl in Paris, Part Deux 8. Hop, Skip, and a Week 7. Where There’s Smoke… 6. Ex and the City 5. One 4. I Heart NY 3. Running with Scissors 2. They Shoot Single People, Don’t They? 1. My Motherboard, My Self

[@aweberf2225]

The Real Me has always been my fav. Glad to see it on the list.

[@poppyair8507]

I love this show and have watched it over and over again, even though I think the Berger part is total boredom and the cheating on Aidan bit is unforgivably irritating to watch. Here are my personal favourites 10 episodes that I find truly inspiring, moving, romantic or funny. For me, My motherboard and my self is probably the best for the entire show. 1. S2 EP3 The Freak Show (Mr. Pussy) 2. S2 EP12 La Douleur Exquise (Shoe fetish guy) 3. S4 EP4 My motherboard, my self (Miranda's mum died, Sam has cried for the feeling she didn't know) 4. S4 EP13 The good fight (rooftop swimming scene of Sam and Richard is probably the most romantic scene in the show) 5. S4 EP18 I heart NY (Moon River playing at the last night Carrie and Big together on a autumn night in NYC) 6. S5 EP3 Luck be an old lady ('I love you Richard but I love me more') 7. S5 EP4 Cover girl (One of the best episodes for Sam. 'I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever and blow whoever I want as long as I can breathe and kneel') 8. S5 EP8 I love a Charade (the Zsa Zsa Zsu, I find the lilac flower marking the burgeon of love Miranda feels about Steve so poetic) 9. S6 EP8 The catch (Loveiest wedding of Henry and Charlotte who 'feels happy in the relationship everyday, not all day every day, but every day') 10. S6 EP12 One (Charlotte miscarriage and Miranda telling steve she loves him - it's an episode about courage)

[@lisamorrison214]

One is my favorite. Especially Samantha and Carrie’s conversation in the bathroom.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@janbarrett4544]

My favorite was with Jazz Man,Craig Bierko, who she met while with Big...and the one where she meets Amalita who introduces her to a French architect.

[@MaryJay371]

It‘s crazy! I had always wanted for Carrie to end up with Big. But now I realise it‘s because I had these problematic relationships myself. I‘m 34 now and would have loved for Carrie to stay single or have a better relationship with Aiden or even better a complete new role who could have combined all the perks the guys had.

[@GoldLeafPress]

I loved the episode: “easy come easy go” “I heart new York” and of course “an American in Paris” big big BIGGGGG

The episodes where Carrie has moved to Paris. Beautiful setting and a good storyline, as she realizes that she is not a stay at home girlfriend. She has given up her friends, home and job to be with someone who doesn’t even prioritize her. And a romantic ending, even though I am not a Big fan

[@anditspaganpoetry]

It’s hard to choose, I also love the episodes that happen around short-haired Aiden time, like the fight and the country home episode. But, Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda is probably my favorite. Both Miranda and Charlotte’s storylines hit hard and it’s really refreshing seeing how both of their stories were told, and I really love the ending of the episode, it always makes me emotional.

[@johnofdebar4071]

i (heart) NY definitely my favorite episode

[@mollsisbored]

carrie can be intolerable sometimes but i will say her walking next to Miranda at Miranda's mom's funeral always gets me because watching Miranda cry as she walked down the aisle made me want to hold her hand too. Additionally, when Miranda gave birth and during the final push, Carrie doesn't break eye contact with Miranda even when everyone is cooing over the new baby. People forget about the mother sometimes when there's a baby in the room but I feel like to Carrie, Miranda wasn't just a "mom", she was still her best friend and still just as important.

[@larryproctor8234]

The Real Me. Fashion roadkill

[@lorileewhitbord8260]

The episode after Big's heart surgery, where Carrie sites his heart is at last wide open. How fleeting it was, and her actual realization of her reality that followed.

[@poochistx94]

I was expecting that to be number one! And Carrie had one of the best lines, “It was a shift imperceptible to anyone but me, but I knew Big’s heart was closed again”. She ended her line saying that life was too short. I loved how the episode ended playing Zero Seven’s “In the Waiting Line” instead of the usual closing theme. And that was the episode before “One” when she met and started to date Aleksandr Petrovski. I think that has got to be one of my very favorites. I’m disappointed I wasn’t even featured as an honorable mention.😕

[@user-lk4hy7fq9g]

all of the aidan epsiodes were my fav, and the one where they go to the hamptons where natasha is first introduced

[@dir3907]

I agree for almost all of them… I personally didn’t like at all #19, I considered it a season filler episode… To me all of the season 6 are the best- the tone, the depth, the settings, the music! ..especially “One” Agree with all the other ones This was an amazing series…

[@MGMG-im3ih]

Hot child in the city was really funny …

[@tfptravel.food.peace.3788]

#11 Hands down! The Post -It always Sticks Twice...is one of my favorites. When Samantha and Carrie smoke weed😂😂😂 and then they eat those sundaes. "Smoking a 😂 doobie" The Agony and Ex stacy: is iconic. "Maybe we can be each other's soulmates."

[@samanthalake5011]

Charlotte settled for Harry because she realizes no matter how pretty she is, other men didn't love her the way he does. When she asked him if he knew what ppl said when they see them together, she was just as bad as them. But sweet Charlotte, right! 😅

[@teewhyemm1130]

Weird how the Petrovski relationship was so problematic and icky, that it made you root for Big who was a problematic assh*le as well. When I rewatch the episodes with Petrovski I usually skip all her interactions with him. Try as they might, they couldn't make that geriatric dude sexy. All the scenes felt forced and uncomfortable.
