Thanks for the memories!

Absolutely brilliant

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Sex and the city yes it was charming and i loved it but was sad when the series ended and the movies too but was delighted to here that the prequel was being made. So Annasophia does a pretty astonishing job here in the Carrie diaries but the this series takes another turn and i love being thing about teenagers and their complications of love life and family but this did not mean in any way the planned prequel to the SATC. I loved it being this way because the big Carrie was not like this and the vision she has made in our minds about herself as this kid. and Samantha's also in her own sexy way to lure guys but not she was like this. The Envision of the Carrie diaries was to create and show how Carrie Bradshaw made herself and I'm impressed with the show. So its a thumbs up from me and i want the producers to go for at least another couple of seasons. its a fan request after all.

At first it might seem strange to take a series that helped define HBO and put the prequel on, of all places, the CW, but it ends up making more sense and actually working out – as a targeted drama – quite well.In the arc of the story, long before there was Sex and the City, with the columnist, shoe-lover and perpetually single Carrie, there was The Carrie Diaries, featuring a 16-year-old version of Carrie, but also based on the books of Candace Bushnell.THE CARRIE DIARIES': 8 THINGS TO KNOW The Carrie Diaries is set in 1984 and stars AnnaSophia Robb as Carrie, who lives in Connecticut with her sister Dorrit (Stefania Owen) and their father, Tom (Matt Letscher). In this version, Carrie's mother has recently died and Tom is left to raise two teenage girls – no easy task. The younger Dorrit is rebelling more openly (pot, stealing, illegal videotaping of Purple Rain, etc.) than Carrie, who is called upon to be something of a surrogate mom. But at 16 she has other interests, namely the cute rich kid/rebel Sebastian (Austin Butler) and the lure of another man – Manhattan. Yes, that last line comes straight from The Carrie Diaries and it's clumsy, as are a number of others, but there's something sweet and engaging about this series even though it's not so much about drawing hearts on notebooks as it is learning to party in Manhattan.THE CW: STILL DOING WHATEVER IT IS THAT IT DOES That is to say that Robb is an adorable teen Carrie who spent the summer grieving for her mother and is clearly a girl who has been brought up well. But she's also entering a period of sexual awakening, and that will certainly take the sweetness out of it for some people (or not, depending). In the show, Carrie is not the popular girl. She hangs out with a small group of best friends who help her out. There's Mouse (Ellen Wong), Maggie (Katie Findlay) and Maggie's boyfriend Walt (Brendan Dooling). In the second episode there's a shot of Maggie on her knees in front of Walt. And in the first episode, Mouse, who comes off as pretty straight-laced, talks about losing her virginity to her older boyfriend and describes it thusly: "It was like putting a hot dog through a key hole." Luckily, there aren't too many of those lines. But still, you can't unhear it.Ah yes, so everybody's been laid except Carrie. Well, Maggie and Walt haven't had sex even though Maggie's practically mounting him at every opportunity. What's holding back Walt? He's just coming to terms with the fact he's gay. And besides, Maggie's two-timing him already anyway with a local cop (her father is the police chief).Remember, this is the prequel to Sex and the City -- it just hasn't morphed into the HBO version of adult sexcapades. But it's to be expected that The Carrie Diaries will be more forthright as it deals with these coming-of-age issues.Ironically, since Carrie is still a virgin, there's still something quite innocent about the series – at least that part of it. More popular girls are trying to tempt Sebastian away, but he's still hooked on Carrie and her curly hair. It's kind of quaint and far less cynical than Gossip Girl.But that might change. Because Carrie desperately wants to get out of Connecticut and we all know how hard she will fall for Manhattan. In this show, her father gets her an internship in Manhattan and when, on a shopping trip, she meets Larissa (Freema Agyeman), a stylist for Interview magazine (Carrie's favorite), the art and fashion world and people of the late night begin to have a real allure for Carrie. The connections to her later life are being made.Now, Carrie Diaries isn't perfect. Sharing a pedigree with Sex and the City makes for a tough comparison. But it's certainly a perfect CW show. Everybody looks young and pretty, etc. But at least in The Carrie Diaries, they're not vampires or comic book characters. They are real people with plausible emotions. And in the hands of Josh Schwartz (Gossip Girl, The O.C.), Amy Harris (Gossip Girl), Bushnell and two other executive producers from the CW's Hart of Dixie, the storytelling has a chance to be handled maturely.It's just important to remember that – voiceovers and wild dresses aside – the prequel is still a couple of boroughs removed from the original.

Honestly, I was hooked from the very first episode. I also loved how they kept Carrie's narrations in this show similar to Sex In the City. I think Annasopia Robb and Austin Butler have the realest relationship ever. All of the actors are absolutely wonderful. This show is really interesting. I love the over-all idea of "becoming who you want to be". I am a 17 year old girl and some of Carrie's quotes from this show really speak to me. I actually somewhat admire her character as a kid. So what if they changed Carrie Bradshaw's life up a little bit, I still think the Carrie Diaries is definitely worth watching. It's a great show for teenagers. I also love how the show isn't filled with profanity and raunchiness. Yes, they do talk about sex...but it's in a tasteful manner. Also, who cares if the time period wasn't portrayed correctly. A different generation is watching this. I doubt this show is for anyone who can actually remember the 80s, no offense. I like the music they chose for the show and the clothes. This probably has to be one of my new favorite shows. I LOVE IT. Everything, especially how New York is portrayed so well. PLEASE KEEP MAKING MORE SEASONS OF THE CARRIE DIARIES. And honestly, I think the show would receive more viewers if it were on ABC family. What fabulous and rather engaging TV show.

I like the fact that it takes place in the 80s! It shows you a different perspective then any other show and I love the characters. I hope they continue the show and they do not cancel it like many other shows that have been canceled lately. It is a very cute show and I also love Carrie's hair, it is perfect for the 80s! The clothes they wear are also perfect and they chose a great character for Sebastian. I have not watched SITC so I do not know if they completely changed Carrie's story or not. Even if they did, I still like the show and the innocence of the characters. It is a good show for teenage girls but really anyone can watch it.
