Keep Your Politics; Give Me ‘Rom-Com For The Soul’ – Warren Tribune Chronicle

Kimerer Patty 2014 333x500 1

And just like that, I’m done with the “Sex and the City” franchise.

We had a great run, SATC and me. I watched it faithfully for, well, since its inception in the late 1990s. It kept me company on many a sleepless evening back in early 2000, when I was up almost all night every night caring for a newborn with acid reflux disorder.

That’s another story for another day but let’s just summarize by saying that, when my son was an infant, he and I didn’t get much sleep during the evenings. Like, none of them. For about a year. Seriously.

My Kyle’s all grown up now and his tummy troubles are all better, thank heavens.

Sadly, it’s SATC that has me regurgitating these days.

Lately my relationship with SATC — much like that of central character Carrie Bradshaw’s with her most-of-the-time significant other, John James Preston, aka “Mr. Big” — has hit the permanent skids. I mean, I think Carrie and Big are kaput.

It seemed that way from the gazillion spoilers and teasers I’d observed prior to the program’s re-reboot last week? Then again, I can’t be absolutely certain about the status of Carrie and Big since, as I mentioned, I ain’t watchin’ no mo’, yo.

It’s not just because central character Samantha (played flawlessly by actress Kim Cattrall from 1998 through 2004) was unceremoniously removed from the successful equation. This happened because Cattrall had the unmitigated gall to give her honest opinion in public about, among other things, SATC star Sarah Jessica Parker.

Here’s another spoiler alert: Cattrall and SJP apparently have never been pals IRL. That’s “In Real Life” for old-timers like me.

Cattrall got the boot faster than a man on SATC showing up with pink carnations in hand and wearing dock-siders. That’s a joke only die-hard SATCers are likely to get.

But the point is, I’m done with SATC, not just because Cattrall’s and another beloved character, Stanford Blatch, are gone. The latter due sad, recent passing of his portrayer, Willie Garson.

Alas, the real reason I’m off the SATC bandwagon is that it stopped being entertaining to me when it started becoming exceedingly more political with each new installment. Sigh. In fact, actress Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) seemed to infuse her own agenda of running for governor of New York in 2018 into the show. She did this because of her strong hatred, for, er, I mean fundamental opposition with the strategies of Andrew Cuomo. Hmm.

I do agree with Nixon in the sense that I’m no fan of Cuomo. He’s a pathetic excuse for a governor and couldn’t even shine his late father, Mario’s, shoes, in my opinion.

But honestly, if I wanted to sit through a bunch of Republican versus Democrat nonsensical nastiness, I wouldn’t have tuned into SATC in the first place. I’d have flipped on an all-asinine, I mean, all-news network instead. For me, SATC was supposed to be an alternative to all that absurdity.

From now on, I’ll stick to shows that guarantee a happy ending. Every. Single. Time. Trust me, they’re out there — IF you know where to look. (Insert Hallmark hints here — hee hee).

Reality is real enough. I want a little “Rom-Com for the Soul” in 2022, capisce?

— Kimerer is a silly romantic who just wants a happy ending. Contact her via www.patriciakimer.com and she MIGHT pause Hallmark Channel long enough to reply.
