When the second movie came out, I wrote that the films had started to make me retroactively hate the series that inspired them. And the pun-filled hatefulness of Michael Patrick King's work on "2 Broke Girls" hasn't helped, either. But if we take the sins of later works out of the equation and simply look at the TV series (particularly seasons 2-4), it was a terrific, ground-breaking dramedy, frank in its take on women's issues and relationships that went well beyond what happens in the bedroom. (In fact, the stories of sexual adventure — particularly involving Kim Cattrall's Samantha — have aged most poorly since the show ended.)
