As I’m sure a lot of girls out there are, I’m uber excited about Sex and the City coming out next week. So, in anticipation of this glorious occasion, I thought I would go through the rundown of my top 10 episodes. (This’ll be a two-part countdown: 10-6 today, 5-1 tomorrow). Let the fun begin!

10. “The Freak Show” Season 2, Episode 3
Are all men freaks? Carrie dates a bunch of freaks before she meets Ben, then ruins a great thing when she turns into a freak; Samantha goes on a first date with a man who wears dog collars and likes to be slapped around; Charlotte dates “Mr. Pussy” but realizes that’s all he’s good for; Miranda gives up on dating entirely.

09. “Models and Mortals” Season 1, Episode 2
Miranda makes the mistake of going out with a “modelizer” (someone who’s obsessed with models); Samantha chooses to go out with a modelizer and has her sexual encounter videotaped; Carrie experiments with Derek the Model and flirts with Mr. Big.

08. “Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women” Season 2, Episode 17
Twenty-something women. Friend…or foe? Carrie and the girls get a share in the Hamptons, where Samantha’s ex-assistant steals her Rolodex and throws a party; Charlotte dates a twenty-something guy who gives her crabs; Miranda runs into the hairstylist she’s suing for age discrimination; and Carrie discovers Big dating a 26-year-old named Natasha.

07. “Great Sexpectations” Season 6, Episode 2
Unfortunately, after a night of “quiet sex,” Carrie discovers that the passion the two share doesn’t translate to the bedroom. Meanwhile, when Samantha introduces the girls to a “raw foods” restaurant, she discovers that she wants something that’s not on the menu… a date with the hot waiter. Hoping to fill the Steve-sized hole in her life, Miranda finds a new love, TiVO. Having decided that Harry is indeed her ideal man, Charlotte announces that she is going to convert to Judaism.

06. “All or Nothing” Season 3, Episode 10
Samantha throws a self-congratulatory soiree at her new apartment where she tries to convince the girls that they have it all — great friends, good jobs, and plenty of sex. Carrie tries to play along, but her fling with Big eats away at her. On the Charlotte front, Trey lays down a pre-nuptial agreement which has Charlotte worth a measly half a mill. Meanwhile Miranda meets her first man post-Steve. George is a cute yuppie from out of town who turns Miranda onto the wonders of phone sex.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s instillation!
