    1. I never watched Sex and the City, but I think I might still check out The Carrie Diaries.

  3. I'm sorry but 1600 Penn is exactly the type of show that I get super incredibly excited about. I hope it's told in an "Upstairs, Downstairs" or "Downton Abbey" style. I refuse to hear otherwise until I witness it for myself.
