SATC was a SEMINAL show that changed the way female characters were written. Like it, hate it, love the characters, think they are horrible, no show that came before it was so very much centered around the lives of women, and it explored themes that other shows hadn't dared to touch. For that reason, I think that it will be fondly remembered for many years, and I even think there will be a point in time when it flips from "out-of-date" back to "adorably retro."
It's just that time hasn't come quite yet.
*This is not to say that they weren't archetypes, or that their lives were terribly realistic, only that they were miles ahead of what came before them.
