Description

It's June 6, 1998. The number one movie in the United States is 'The Truman Show.' NBC ruled television, with 'Friends,' 'E.R.', and 'Seinfeld' dominating the ratings. Brandy and Monica were on top of the music charts, and, oh, and 'Sex and the City' aired its first episode.

Welcome to 'Shortcomings,' a new 'Sex and the City' podcast from Sam Bush (aka @bravohistorian) and Chris Lewis. They're going all-in on our problematic fave — the memories, the men, the fashion, and, of course, Aidan's obsession with KFC. Sam and Chris will recap all 92 episodes of the series, two movies, and whatever the revival is. So grab a cosmo and join Sam and Chris in taking a critical eye to a show that changed television.

We've made it to the "He's just not that into you..." episode and we take on a lot, including our hazy memory of the crazy, star-filled movie version of that saying. Carrie and Berger are fussing over scrunchies, Samantha is role-playing, Miranda is Rambo-ing, and Charlotte and Harry break-up. It's a lot. Take a listen.You can support Shortcomings by visiting us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast! 
Jennifer Coolidge is here and we have to wonder…why? We’re dealing with Berber’s sound machines, Steve’s bad baby-bag etiquette, and we worry about Harry and Steve. Oh and Smith is back. Take a listen!

Re-Upload: We take on an episode that introduces two icons...Nina Katz and Harry Goldenblatt. And we couldn't help but wonder...is Nina the new Natasha? Has Nina slept with Jude Law? How close are Nina and Heather Graham? We have Nina Katz on our mind! Take a listen.

It recently came to our attention that a few season five episodes were missing from the feed, so here's a re-upload of our conversation about Cover Girl. Please note that we had some tech issues, so it's a shorter episode.

Carrie presents her first free-lance article to the Vogue editors, who react completely differently: Enid barks it's simply 'her column', so 'not Vogue', but Julian takes to her - perhaps even too much. Richard says he doesn't want to celebrate his birthday but Samantha insists he picks a gift, and he chooses a threesome with a young waitress. When Miranda complains about getting things for her future baby, Charlotte - who is mourning her own motherhood ambition - offers to throw her a baby-shower but is instructed to keep it low-key, almost businesslike, without the usual baby theme.

We're officially almost through the slog of Aidan Shaw, but before he departs we have to deal with him and a side of KFC. But before that, we discuss his continued presence in And Just Like That (is he a paranormal activity?).

The time has come - Sam and Chris break down (and breakdown) the photo of Aidan and Carrie on the set of And Just Like That. And then we get into an iconic SATC episode. Miranda is pregnant, Charlotte grapples with her future, Carrie and Aidan maybe have chemistry (but only in the bathroom), and Samantha is hanging out with Lucy Liu. It's a lot.
