My earliestSex and the Citymemory is that I was home from college, flicking channels and I remember watching an episode or two. It was the episode whereStanfordgoes to a gay bar in his underwear. You did not see many shows at that point that had scenes at gay bars, let alone with guys standing in their underwear for Underwear Night. The fact that Stanford was going to gay bars felt so radical and really pulled me in.

I really thought aboutThe Way We Werewhen we were puttingBrostogether because that is kind of the archetypal romance between this emotional, chatty, unconventional looking New York Jew falling for the beautiful, emotionally repressed, stoic, all American type.Sex and the Cityacknowledges that, too.
