Question: Since the show is based on Candace Bushnell's book, is Carrie Bradshaw a composite of Bushnell herself?

Question: What is the name of the song playing the background, when Carrie is intimate with the recovering alcoholic? She sings,"If there's a cure for this, I don't want it."

Question: Why are the girls families never mentioned/they never mention them? I know Carrie talks about her father in series 4, episode 17, and I know Miranda's mum dies around then too, but what about Charlotte and Samantha? Where's all their family gone?

Answer: Introducing too many family characters would have cluttered the storyline and detracted from the show's basic premise of the single life in NYC. The focus remained on the girls' friendship, their relationships, and female views about sex and love. However, in addition to the relatives you mentioned, we also met Charlotte's brother--who slept with Samantha.

Question: In series 4, episode 'ring a ding ding', the girls talk about something which sounds like 'wee-hawking'. What exactly is that?

Question: What's the name of the song that Samantha and Richard slow dance to at the swimming pool at the end of the episode?

Answer: "By your side" by Sade.

Question: Did Carrie go back to her hotel room for her wardrobe after leaving Aleksandr and getting with Big? Surely she returned for all her Manolo's and stuff, or are we left to believe she gave it all up as the ultimate sacrifice for Mr. Big?

Answer: It's not shown, but we're to assume she either went back later and got her stuff or made arrangements to have it shipped home to New York.

Question: Is there going to be a spin off series in the near future?

Answer: None have been announced.

Question: In the final episode of season 6, Charlotte and Anthony are shopping in Chanel. Anthony says 'I know some gays who got a kid for like a hundred bucks' but in the dvd version, he says 'I know some gays who got a kid and they, like, love it'. Why was his dialogue changed?

Answer: Stating that a gay couple BOUGHT a child for only a hundred dollars was complained about.

Question: In the beginning of the epsiode when Carrie first meets Aleksandr in the gallery there is instrumental music playing in the background. This music also shows up in different scenes throughout the episode. Does anyone know the name of this piece of music and where I can find it?
