Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry During the open credits we see the bus splashing Carrie has her poster on it. Her head on the poster is facing the left of the screen, but in the Season One episode where the bus makes its debut the poster is reversed, with Carries head on the right side. [The newspaper ad people reversed the picture. Not unusual.]

escape from new york (series 3)

Entry Charlotte is worried that Trey's inability to perform in bed is physiological, and is relieved to learn that he can have an erection. In a previous episode she gave him a hand job, so she should already know that he can get it up. [In fact, believe it or not, it is possible for a man to be manually masturbated to orgasm by a sexual partner without achieving an erection - hence Charlotte's concern.]

the big time (series 3)

Entry In The Big Time, Samantha tells the older man that her apartment is 2D. However, in Market to Market, she tells the investor man that her apartment is 4F. She is still living in the same apartment. [The way I remember it, Samantha told that guy (Len) that her apartment number was 2D because she didn't like him and he was interested in her. It was an intentional decoy.]

politically erect (series 3)

Updated recently When Samantha takes the "short guy" to bed, he supposedly jumps on top of her; but you can see in the mirror above her bed that he lands on the bed, next to her body. [That is false. You can not see a mirror above the bed at all.]

i heart ny (series 4)

Entry Mr Big said he would leave for California at 5 pm. Carrie runs into Samantha at the hospital just after Samantha spied on her lover during lunch. After that, Carrie immediately leaves the hospital to see Mr. Big but he's gone already. That would be a VERY long lunch Samantha had. [He most likely meant his plane leaves at 5 pm. And knowing security in airports these days, he might've left home at least 3 hours earlier to make sure he got there on time.]
Entry In Episode 66 "I Heart NY", Miranda gives Carrie a cell phone in order to have her on call when she goes to the hospital to deliver her baby. When the phone rings, Carrie tells Big that she never had one and does not know how to use it. However, in Episode 20 "The Man, The Myth, The Viagra", she receives a call from Miranda and whips out her cell phone from her purse to receive it. [Carrie says she doesn't (currently) have a cell phone, not that she *never* had one. And she may not know how to answer it because it is different than her previous one. Different phones can be answered in different manners.]
Entry At Brady's birth Steve counts to five fingers, five toes and two balls. He wouldn't be able to tell: boy babies are born with their testicles still inside their body. [He was probably saying it tongue-in-cheek. Not entirely seriously. Because Steve only has one ball, (and he sees this as a fault and a really big deal) he's pleased that his son, Brady is 'normal'.]

my motherboard, my self (series 4)

Entry When Carrie takes her laptop to be repaired, the supposed expert says that "Ctrl Alt Delete," only works on PCs and it's therefore implied that it didn't work because this is a laptop. This of course is totally incorrect; Ctrl Alt Delete is a Windows function and therefore works on anything which has Windows, regardless of it being a PC or laptop. [It's because her laptop is a Mac. PC is a generic "IBM compatible" term which covers both desktops and laptops.]

baby, talk is cheap (series 4)

Entry Where did Carrie get Aidan's e-mail address? He certainly didn't give it to her. [Carrie was dating Aidan for almost a year; he could have given it to her, even though she herself didn't have an email address. He, also, has a business. She could have looked up his business on the internet and got his email there.]

ghost town (series 4)

Entry When Charlotte, Trey, and Bunny are shopping for a new bed, Trey and Bunny lay down on the bed with a large space between them. But when Charlotte comes to lay on the bed, there is no space between Trey and Bunny at all. [Trey is scooting closer to his mother as he is laying down. Then it cuts to Charlotte, then when it cuts back to Trey and Bunny, the are laying right next to each other with no space. Then Charlotte comes and lays down. There is plenty of time during the cut to Charlotte for Trey to have finished moving and be right next to Bunny.]

the big journey (series 5)

Entry In the episode when Carrie and Samantha go to San Francisco there is a scene when Samantha is in the bath. She stands up and her front is covered in bubbles, when she gets out the bath you can see in the mirror behind her that she is wearing a red bra and knickers set. Why bother covering up, when viewers have seen much more of her than her backside in the past? [I just watched that episode and all I could see was a tanline.]

plus one is the loneliest number (series 5)

Entry As Carrie and Berger are sitting on a park bench talking, there is a bag of fast food between them that disappears when they get up to leave. Carrie is holding her shake as they walk away, but neither of them is carrying the bag. [If you watch closely, while they are sitting and talking, Berger grabs the bag and throws it away in the trash can behind him in one arm motion. You don't see the bag on screen either but you see his arm motion grab the bag and move across his body to the trash can behind him. That is why, when they get up the bag is no longer on the bench.]

an american girl in paris (part deux) (series 6)

Entry Smith and Samantha discuss how it's been a long time since they've had sex and how it's her chemo that's killing her sex drive. Only a pair of episodes earlier, while she was on chemo, they not only had sex but taped it. [The episodes don't run as one week, the time scale is indeterminate. Samantha is much further on in her chemo in this episode than she was in the episode where they taped themselves having sex.]

an american girl in paris (part une) (series 6)

Entry In the opening scene, as Carrie is packing for Paris, a black and white striped outfit hanging up behind her keeps appearing and disappearing throughout the scene. [I have watched this scene, and the black and white dress is there the entire time. Sometimes the shot is from a different angle, where you can't see the closet or the dress hanging, but that's just the angle of the camera (aimed toward her living room). In the shots of her closet, the dress is always there.]

splat! (series 6)

Entry Carrie claims to have never tasted espresso before when Petrovsky buys her a machine, but in Season 1 episode 3 ("Bay of Married Pigs") she is having lunch with some married friends, and they set her up with a friend. They get on well, and the voiceover says "two espressos and a tiramisu later" and we see Carrie drinking her espresso. [Carrie never says that she hasn't tasted espresso before, she just seems unfamiliar with it throughout the episode. If she hasn't had it in five years, this is completely normal.]

the domino effect (series 6)

Entry When Charlotte has her first visit to Dr. Mao's, the switch for the relaxing music is positioned right above the light switch in the treatment room, next to the door. At her next visit, you can hear the clicking sound as Dr. Mao turns the music on, but there's no switch on the wall. [Charlotte could be in a different treatment room where the switch is in a different spot.]

the post-it always sticks twice (series 6)

Entry When Miranda is saying the name of the bar "Drown the Hound", her lips don't match the words she's saying. I can't read lips so I don't know what she's saying, but it's definitely not "Drown the Hound". [Miranda says down the hatch.]

great sexpectations (series 6)

Entry When shopping with Samantha, Carrie picks out the pink fluffy shoes, but when she wears them for Berger later on in the episode they are red. [Carrie just holds up the pink shoe to try it on in her size. We don't see her buy the pink ones, so it's reasonable to think that she changed her mind on the color before leaving the store.]

All of series 6 (series 6)

Entry In the episode where Carrie and Berger are still trying to set up their first date Carrie sees Berger. Berger stops at a payphone and uses it. Carrie runs away and calls Berger at another payphone. What phone did Carrie call? If Berger had a cell phone, why would he be using a payphone? [Berger is shown using ONLY a cell phone. Carrie uses a payphone to call him (on his cell phone)from outside the movie theater.]
