(Flanderization is not a YMMV Trope)
Line 7:
* [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]
** [[The Movie]] ostensibly had a message about rejecting the importance of labels (in both senses of the word), despite large chunks of the movie which are practically in-movie commercials for designer labels. The orgiastic display of wedding dresses ''alone''... In a larger sense, the series as a whole falls victim to this. We're supposed to be at least somewhat horrified by the narcissism and shallowness that's all-too-frequently on display, but the characters and their environment are a bit too glamorous for the "moral" to really take. Bushnell's original columns were considerably more trenchant in their appraisal of their social milieu.
* [[Flanderization]]: Charlotte and Samantha became caricatures of themselves as the series went on, at least until the final season when they started showing dimensions again. Also, Carrie's maturity seemed to have an inverse relationship with her age.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Miranda's reaction to Samantha's [[Suddenly Sexuality]], considering the fact that Cynthia Nixon is engaged to another woman. (And has dealt with having fallen in love with a woman extremely well; [[Ironic Echo|not dissimilar to the way Samantha did, in fact.]])
** An even better example of this is a first season episode where Miranda is assumed to be gay by a co-worker, who sets Miranda up with a female date for a company event. At the end of the episode, she considers how life would be much easier if she were a lesbian, testing this by kissing her same-sex date.
