I truly appreciate the diversity, the modern and realistic storylines, and how the heart of the show remains. It's funny. I didn't miss Samantha at all. This is something I've heard from many who watched. It was an excellent revival with signature wit and humor. The only thing I'd suggest for season two... it's that there is a lot of emphasis on getting older. The problem I see with this is that most 50-sonethings don't act old or feel it. I think it's important to stress that regardless of your age, you are still young at heart. And these women are still young!
