TV used to be good. Then reality TV happened and all was lost.

Then came the creation of HBO with a stock full of shows that lived outside the box of what television had morphed into. Six Feet Under, Carnival, Sopranos, The Wire, Entourage, and Sex and the City breathed some lively air into the deflated lungs of primetime TV.

What myself, and a majority of the audience, could appreciate about these shows is that they weren’t dripping with the saturation of the typical sitcom. They had depth, nudity, violence, smart dialogue and all the accessories that make television worth watching. Take away those factors and you have Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girls.

During my senior year of high school my group of friends were obsessed over Sex and the City. We did the typical Friday night DVD marathon and giddily followed the show from season to season and dubbed ourselves as each one of the characters according to our personalities. (I was mix of Carrie and Miranda… in case you were wondering.)

I’ll be honest—I wasn’t a big fan of the Sex and the City movie. But if I were to choose between watching a marathon of Gossip Girls and the S&C movie on repeat – the movie wins hands down.

When I heard TBS was rerunning the censored version of Sex and the City it felt like I just downed a whole bottle of strawberry cough syrup. Yuck, yuck and yuck.

But apparently the watered down version of the Sex series sparked some interest in Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus who is being considered for the role of a young Carrie Bradshaw in a possible prequel to the Sex and the City movie.

“I’d love to be a younger, cleaner version of ‘Sex and the City,’” said the multiple personality Disney star

Now, let’s be clear … a cleaner version of Sex and the City would involve a bizarre fusion remake with the combination of Sweet Valley High, Mean Girls, Dawson’s Creek and any other sugarcoated teen movie or sitcom that’s come out in the last five years or more.

Oh! And by the way, Sex and the City writer Candace Bushnell has agreed to write two books on Carrie Bradshaw ’s high school years aka – ‘The Carrie Diaries’.

In conclusion, if a great thing ain’t broke —why mess with it. More importantly, why oh why Miley Cyrus? Doesn’t the whole ‘sex’ aspect make this taboo to anyone and anything employed by Disney? Either way, that is 10 bucks I am not throwing away.
