The good fight - S4-E13

Trivia: The entire closet scene is the longest scene that has ever played on the show, in terms of real time. During every single take, the actors played it from the beginning all the way through to the end. (00:12:00)

Belles of the balls - S4-E10

Trivia: When Carrie is reading 'InStyle' magazine, there is a prominent photo of Big's recent girlfriend/actress "Willow Summers" on the cover. This photo looks exactly like the same actress who played Big's first wife (and publishing executive) during a previous season. This same woman appears in the previous episode when Carrie is walking down the street after having dinner with Big, and he tells her about Willow Summers. She stops when she sees a poster of the famous actress, and again the woman in the photo looks exactly like the woman who played Big's first wife. (00:13:30)

The good fight - S4-E13

Trivia: During this scene when Richard and Samantha are dancing by the pool, you can see the NYC skyline behind them. The World Trade Towers were visible right between them, when this was filmed. They were later taken out, and this was the only time in the entire series that anything was digitally removed from the show. They removed the World Trade Towers for two reasons: One; they would have changed the entire tone of the scene and made it sad and tragic. Two; when the show actually aired the World Trade Towers had already been destroyed. They wanted the show to appear current, as if it was happening now and not in the past. If they had left the World Trade Towers in the shot, it would have looked like it was filmed in the past. (00:24:10)

Trivia: In this scene with Miranda giving birth, the doctor shown is a real MD. They wanted to use a real doctor who knew how to handle a baby. (00:26:35)

I heart ny - S4-E18

Trivia: The apartment shown in this scene as Big's, was the same apartment they used for Trey and Charlotte. They had to reconfigure the living room to make it look like Big's again, because he had been out of the series for so long. (00:28:45)

I heart ny - S4-E18

Trivia: The large 'moon' seen in this scene was not the real moon. It was actually a light that got caught on film, and they decided to shape it into the moon. (00:22:50)

I heart ny - S4-E18

Trivia: In this scene when Carrie is walking out of Mr. Big's apartment, all of the autumn leaves were tinted, and not real. Everything was very green when they were actually filming. (00:29:30)

The good fight - S4-E13

Trivia: This dog 'Pete' is not the original Pete dog, he is a replacement. The first dog was too scared being around John Corbett, so they had to replace him with a 'stunt' Pete dog. (00:02:00)
