Season 1
Episode 1
Making its splashy debut on June 6, 1998, the first episode of Sex drew 3.7 million viewers — a respectable number, considering it was a new series on a pay-cable channel. (But viewership would balloon by the finale, which, nearly six years later, would draw 10.6 million viewers.) At the time, HBO's slate included Oz, Arli$$, and Taxicab Confessions. And a little show called Family Man — eventually renamed The Sopranos — was gearing up to premiere the following year.
Can you imagine Carrie as a brunette? That was the plan up until 24 hours before the pilot was shot. ''I got a call that Darren wanted me blond,'' Parker remembers, ''because Candace Bushnell is blond.''
Episode 4
The cabdriver from the ''up the butt'' episode also appears in the movie, driving Carrie and Miranda. ''We've had a fight and we're trying to work it out,'' says Cynthia Nixon. ''We got such a kick out of the fact that it was [the same driver].''
