Episode Discussion- 110 "The Baby Shower"



"The Baby Shower"



"I have low self-esteem, but I express it the healthy way... by eating a box of Double-Stuf Oreos." -Miranda

Directed by: Susan Seidelman
Written by: Terri Minsky

Synopsis
A baby shower for Laney, a wild child turned soccer mom, gets the girls thinking about their futures. Carrie is late for her period, but unsure whether she wants her pregnancy test to be positive or negative. Charlotte is fearful she may never have the daughter for which she has been preparing her whole life, while Laney yearns for the freedom she sacrificed for her family

_________

Post your thoughts on this episode!

I just remember being really scared by the character Laney, I really disliked her and pitied her at the same time. It was totally so mean how she took Charlotte's baby name, I love how Samantha gave out to Laney and was like 'We're leaving' The girls in the car was hilarious!

I thought Carrie's storyline was interesting and how she was unsure of whether she would want to have a baby or not, i loved the miranda/carrie scenes in this ep. This was one of the best eps of season one imo

Oh gosh! I think this was probably one of the worest episodes. I hated that character Laney. I couldn't believe the girls were even friends with her.

You're right, Emily. That scene was hilarious.
Samantha: what's going on?
Charlotte: she stole my baby name!
Samantha: You b!tch!

This episode was classic Samantha! I love that dialoge you posted, diana!

I thought that Charlotte went a bit overboard with her baby name stuff.

Laney was crazy! I loved how Samantha brings a bottle of alcohol to her baby shower and wears revealing clothes to show off her own body.

Agreed. This episode was classic Sam. She had quiet a few funny lines. Like when they were all in the car, and she said "does anyone know how to drive?"

Carrie's storyline was interesting. It would have been even better if Big was in this episode. The show never really addressed what Big thought of children and having a baby.

I know Sam was so brilliant! 'I don't have a baby everybody drink!!'

I would have loved to have seen some Big in this eppie as well but i loved all the group interaction in this ep, i thought it was pretty good

The end of this episode was sweet (Carrie with that little girl) and sad. I think Carrie was very heartbroken that she wasn't pregnant.

OMG! Samantha was a riot in this episode! Only Samantha would throw a party for not having a baby.

Samatha was the best thing about this episode. Everything else just kind of annoyed me, I really did not like the Laney character. I did love Miranda's quote about the oreos.

Laney was scary!!

Was this the ep where Samantha had the "I'm not having a baby" shower?

Samantha just rocks.

I too disliked the character of Laney. And her showing up pregnant ready to party. Ugh! Sam was great in this episode, I've often copied her by telling my friends that I'm having an "I'm not having a baby" baby shower
