Start with a brilliant book by Candace Bushnell, recreate it virtually verbatim in 6 half-hour episodes, and you have an inventive, hilarious comedy. But, once you've exhausted all the clever anecdotes, the curiously comedic character traits of the principals, where do you go?
DOWN, I guess is the only answer, or at least it is here. I give Darren Star (of Melrose Place) credit for bringing S&TC to the tube. But the second six episodes of this comedy's first season were at best rivals to such mundane and idiotic fare as "Who's the Boss" and "Full House", with added profanity and sexual situations.
Early looks at season two only support the idea that this series is in a death spiral. My guess is the line between very clever and ludicrous is a fine one indeed.
