It would seem from reading the advance press on this week's big-screen debut of "Sex and the City," it's clear that it's not exactly expected to send what was a spectacularly successful TV franchise off into the sunset in a blaze of glory. Which when you consider some of the blockbusters currently out there, isn't too surprising. Whereas many mourned the passing of the show from the air waves, the underlying tone of commentary from within and without the movie industry seems to suggest that the time to go was well-chosen. This is borne out by the reported performance of the syndicated reruns on TBS, which have not fared well against reruns of "Family Guy" and "Everybody Loves Raymond." Which I personally find a little strange. Perhaps that's because I've never been fond of the dumbed down humor of either of those shows, whereas, I always found the writing of "Sex and the City" to be clever and intelligent. Still, when crap like American Idol and professional wrestling consistently lead in the ratings, I shouldn't be too surprised.
