The World’s Hardest ‘Sex and the City’ Quiz

How much 'Sex and the City' trivia do you know? Let's find out!

There are rewatchable shows, and then there’s Sex and the City. Since it premiered on HBO in 1998, fans have consistently consumed the episodes over and over, dissecting them like a voicemail left after a bad date. To claim yourself as a Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, or Samantha is to declare intentions, goals, and values in a single utterance. An entire cottage industry has risen around the show; it’s inspired walking tours, built a cupcake empire, and spawned multiple movies and even a spinoff show in the decades since. 

But to go back to the original six seasons is to travel back in time, to a New York City free of content creators, when it wasn’t cool to wait in line, when the cosmos flowed freely and brunch was still thriving. When Fridays were for dates, boys were for fun, and girlfriends were soulmates. 

How much of those good times do you really remember? Take this quiz to find out.

Zero to 30% correct: Like the Fendi bag Samantha buys in Los Angeles, you’re not the real deal. Seems like you could use a little time at the coffee shop with the girls — if you’ve been watching the show at all lately, it’s probably the neutered version on syndication. Remember, if there’s no sex, it’s not the real SATC.

31 to 60% correct: OK, maybe this foursome are not your best friends, but they’re friends nonetheless. Not close enough to, say, share a house in the Hamptons for the summer, but at least close enough to come visit (just be careful when venturing outside the guest room in the morning). This is a healthy relationship to have with these women — companionship is important, but boundaries are even better. Better to be a wedding guest than a bridesmaid any day. 

61 to 100% correct: Congratulations, you’re a SATC expert! You can tell the difference between a Manolo and a Jimmy Choo, a Prada and a Dolce & Gabbana. You know which club opening to go to and which is best to skip. You’ve got the key to Bungalow 8 — or at least a hot date who can get you in. You can debate with the best of them about how each woman is simply an aspect of all our personalities, not a personality in itself. You quote the show so much that your friends think you’re just that clever. Now’s maybe a good time to put the remote down, though, and go touch some grass. There’s a whole world out there where you can make real friends, not just the ones you know from TV.
