MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN ANCHOR: All right. Moving on to something lighter here. The new and final season of HBO's "Sex and the City" series airs tonight.
CNN's Miguel Marquez is surrounded by fans at one of perhaps many premiere parties taking place in New York and around the country.
Look at the setting you've got there, Miguel, not bad.
MIGUEL MARQUEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Surrounded is right, Marty.
You know, it's a big weekend for pop culture. First, Harry Potter, and now "Sex and the City." You can't really beat that. Sort of satisfies on all sorts of levels, I think.
The HBO show starts its sixth and final season tonight. About seven million people watch the show every week. We're joined by some of them, obviously, here. It's about four women who wind their way through life, love and, of course, sex in the city.
The city is New York where we happen to be, and our special guest tonight, who is hosting this party for all of her friends, is Helen Tajera (ph).
How are you?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Good. And yourself?
MARQUEZ: Thank you for inviting us into your house.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, it's my pleasure.
MARQUEZ: This is your second annual big party for "Sex and the City," right?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, we had one last year.
MARQUEZ: What's the appeal, here? Why so big an appeal for this show?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's four regular women working and dating in New York City. Can't get any more normal than that.
MARQUEZ: Tell me about this little clan, this little group that comes here to watch this. Who are they? How old?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They can be anywhere from 25 to 35, friends, co-workers, family members, just college friends. Just a good group of girls.
MARQUEZ: But we were talking earlier, you even have some of your teenagers --
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, yeah, that's a bad thing.
MARQUEZ: Your teenage cousins.
(LAUGHTER)
MARQUEZ: Oh, so it is a bad thing?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I have three 14-year-old cousins who actually watch, and they began watching here on Sundays because they're here every Sunday. This is Janice, Kimberly and Jo Ellie (ph). They're 14, which is not good. They like it. They like it. It's OK. They learn from it. They'll be 25 eventually.
MARQUEZ: Let's talk about the show. What do you get out of this when you watch the show? What do you get out of it?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Fashion, tons of fashion. Lola Blaynick (ph), Louis Vuitton. All of the good stuff that you need to live in New York.
MARQUEZ: I promised you I'd do this. They all wore their special shoes. We have to show the feet, ladies.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We've got to show the shoes.
MARQUEZ: I won't show you my feet.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You have nice shoes.
MARQUEZ: Thank you very much.
Marty, I've got to have the toughest gig in television. Here I am surrounded by women. They're all single, by the way, for most part, and we're watching a show about sex tonight. Check back in with me about 10 o'clock why don't you. Back to you now.
SAVIDGE: I will. I will. I'll see if you're still seated on that couch there, as a matter of fact. I don't know why it is when I'm out in the field I don't get assignments like that.
Miguel Marquez, thank you very much. We'll see you later, we think.
