If “Sex and the City” is a franchise you wish would just die already, acquire some patience. The new trailer for SATC prequel, “The Carrie Diaries” has just been released and is not quite as insufferable as the preview that hit the web several months ago and made us want to #headdesk for three hours straight. The first preview, which features a moronic female high schooler telling virginal teenager Carrie Bradshaw that having sex feels like a hotdog going into a keyhole, was so annoying that it was pulled from the Internet. Thank goodness for that, because the new trailer for the January 2013 show isn’t as lame and won’t remind you of the lying idiots you listened to in youth.

It’s hard to picture “Sex and the City” heroine Carrie Bradshaw as anything other than a stylish, financially comfortable, successful, and well-respected New Yorker. But as anyone who has ever relocated to NYC knows, nobody shows up to the city knowing exactly how to take it on. We get a glimpse of Bradshaw’s life before glamorous Manhattan and sex column writing in the upcoming “Sex and the City” prequel, “The Carries Diaries,” which is based off author Candace Bushnell’s “Carrie Diaries” series.
