The medicine cabinet in Carrie's apartment was first spied by Sarah Jessica Parker at a flea market shortly before filming began on the series. She and Matthew Broderick didn't buy it but reconsidered. When they went back, the cabinet was already sold to "some TV show". When she showed up for filming, the medicine cabinet was there.

The naturally blond Cynthia Nixon dyes her hair red to play Miranda on the show.

Carrie meets Mr. Big in the very first episode.

On the day she shot the scene where she goes to the Paris Cinema to see "Joy for Two" and it later rains very heavily, Sarah Jessica Parker wasn't feeling well, so she sent her assistant to fetch her a home pregnancy test. She learned she was in fact pregnant just before shooting the scene; scripted as a rather giddy, happy scene (it is in the episode, "Anchors Away!"), this obviously helps explains why she is extra-smiley.

The ballerina tutu that Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing in the opening credits cost only $5 from a vintage store.

Sarah Jessica Parker has a clause in her contract for this show stipulating that she will not do any full nudity. This is why the audience never sees Carrie in anything less than underwear whereas all the other main female characters have been filmed in much less.

Carrie's boyfriend Jack Berger (played by Ron Livingston) said "He's just not that into you" only twice in a 2003 episode. This line was ranked #13 in TV Guide's list of "TV's 20 Top Catchphrases" (21-27 August 2005 issue).

All of Season 1 was shot on 16mm film. It is the only one of the 6 seasons to be shot on this stock.

The final word spoken in the very last episode was "Fabulous".

The show became so popular that a tour was setup to view the New York City locations of the series by bus.

In the very beginning of the show the last thing "Mr. Big" says to Carrie is Abso-fuckin-lutely. And in the very last episode, he says that after he and Carrie return from Paris.

From the very first season up to the 12th episode of the 4th season, in the opening credits, Sarah Jessica Parker's name was shown with the World Trade Center towers behind her name. After the terrorist attacks on the USA of 11 September 2001 and the collapse of the towers, her name then appeared with the Empire State Building in the background. The same thing happened with the show's main title.

Kim Cattrall turned down the role of Samantha Jones twice before being convinced by Darren Star's boyfriend to give it a try and shoot the pilot episode.

The Versace "dress of a thousand layers" that Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) wore in the final episode has a retail price of $79,000.

In the episode where Carrie is invited to Mr Big and Natasha's engagement party, the props department decided to make up a first name for the character to appear on the invitation, knowing that it would never appear on screen. Sarah Jessica Parker opened the envelope to find she had been invited to the wedding of "Boris and Natasha" (named after the villains in "Rocky and His Friends" (1959)), she reportedly couldn't stop laughing for five minutes.

The early episodes of the show had characters looking directly at the camera lens and commenting on the events in the story. This element was dropped in later episodes.

Cynthia Nixon does not have pierced ears. All of her earrings on the show were clip-ons. Sometimes the costume designers would send away earrings they liked to a jeweler to make them clip-on earrings.

The girls' addresses are:
Carrie: 245 East 73rd St
Samantha: 300 Gansevoort Street
Charlotte: 700 Park Avenue
Miranda: 331 West 78th St.
None of them actually exist

Charlotte's wedding dress (to Harry) is by Badgley Mishka.

The part which ultimately went to Matthew McConaughey in the Episode 'Escape from New York' was originally written for Alec Baldwin who declined. The producers then contacted George Clooney who, although was interested in it, couldn't do it. The script was then sent to Warren Beatty who also declined.

Instead of using the "555" telephone numbers normally used on TV, the producers purchased two real phone numbers, which they used over and over again throughout the show.

In the final episode, we finally learn the first name of "Mr. Big" (played by Chris Noth) - John. However, his last name is never given.

< back 

Continuity: In the opening credits, a close-up of the bus that splashed Carrie shows that it was full of people. But as the bus rounds the corner, it is totally empty.

Crew or equipment visible: in Season 2, ep. 13 ("Games people play"), crew can be seen reflected on the TV in the back when Carrie writes her article

Factual errors: In episode 13 of season 4 ("The Good Fight"), the display on Samantha's cell phone shows 07/20/01 as the date. When she answers the phone, she says "Richard, it's Sunday." July 20, 2001, was a Friday.

Revealing mistakes: In addition, we hear the phone ring before she answers it. The phone's display shows a speaker symbol with a slash through it, indicating that the phone is in "silent" mode (no ringer or vibration).

Continuity: In the first episode of the first season Mr. Big's car windows aren't tinted when he offers Carrie a ride. When she gets out and asks him a question, they are tinted.

Continuity: In the fetish episode when Big goes to Paris for a few days for work, he returns to New York and Carrie shows up at his door with McDonalds. In the kitchen, the position of her bag and the french fries (both on the counter top) changes constantly throughout the scene.

Continuity: In the final episode, when Carrie is in the hotel lobby talking to Alex and his daughter, the same woman passes behind Carrie three times in the same direction.

Revealing mistakes: Season 4, episode 17 ('A "Vogue" Idea') - Julian puts a CD in the player and music begins to play; however, the CD does not start spinning. (In a later shot, the CD is finally spinning.)

Continuity: In the very first episode on a close up of Carrie in the background you see a bus go by with Carrie's picture on it but the picture of Carrie on the bus isn't until the following episode.

Revealing mistakes: In Season 6's "Out of the Frying Pan", Carrie is woken up by a mouse crawling in her hair and in one shot the flat bottom of a fake mouse is visible.

Continuity: In the episode where Miranda realizes she loves Steve, (season 6) the poo on her face is gone from one scene to another

Factual errors: Season 6 "A Hop, Skip and a Week". Berger tells the cab driver it's the third brownstone on the left but Carrie gets out and it is on the right.

Continuity: In "My Motherboard, Myself", Charlotte offers Carrie a tissue hhen Carrie tells the girls that Miranda's mother has died. In the next shot, Carrie is wiping her face with a blue napkin and the tissue is back in Charlotte's hands.

The producers cut a scene featuring a terrorist alert from the fifth season after deciding it was inappropriate. The show's main character Carrie Bradshaw - played by Sarah Jessica Parker - was to be seen being blocked when she tried to get onto a roped off New York subway which had been closed by the authorities.

From episodes 61 ("The Good Fight") and beyond, the credits were altered after the 9/11 attacks. New footage is now present, durning the title and Sarah Jessica Parker's name, that originally featured shots of the Twin Towers.
