It might be a tad cliche, but...

I like to watch Sex & the City. I think I've seen all the episodes and I've seen some of them twice.

Ok, I've actually seen every episode so many times I've lost count and if I had kept count, I would probably be ashamed to admit the number. Suffice to say, I'm familiar with the show.

If someone pinned me down and forced me to pick a favorite episode, I'm not sure I could do it. I could probably get it down to a top five list, but doubt I could get it down to just one. That being said, I can pretty easily identify my LEAST favorite episode. It's in the first half of season three, before Charlotte meets Trey, before Carrie meets Aidan. It's called "boy, girl, boy, girl" and features guest stars including Alanis Morrisette and Eddie Cahill (CSI: NY, Miracle, Rachel's assistant Tag on FRIENDS).

The whole episode is just lame. None of the characters are involved in terribly interesting storylines: Carrie dates a younger guy with bisexual tendencies, Charlotte hosts a drag king art exhibit, Miranda gets annoyed with Steve (again) and Samantha has sex with her assistant. The puns and quips seem lackluster, there are no great quotables...just kinda lame.

And just for fun, my top five favorite episodes:

Season 2: "the man, the myth, the viagra" - Miranda meets Steve and Samantha gets with the old man
Season 4: "my motherboard, my self" - the one where Miranda's mom dies (I cry every time)
Season 4: "change of a dress" - Carrie breaks out in hives trying on a bad wedding dress and Miranda fakes a sonogram
Season 5: "i love a charade" - the one with the hamptons wedding
Season 6: "one" - Brady's first birthday party
