We've all seen Sarah Jessica Parker getting splashed by a bus with her own ad on it but that opening shot almost never happened.
Turns out that series creator Darren Star had a slightly different opening in mind, all because he wasn't a fan of Carrie Bradshaw's now iconic tutu.
Talking to EW, Star said: "There were two wardrobes. One was the tutu, and we did one pass where Sarah Jessica was wearing a blue dress and didn’t get splashed; instead, she trips when she sees the ad. In my mind, it was a nod to The Dick Van Dyke show, but we didn’t use it. It’s in the archives."
Thankfully, after costume designer Patricia Field and Parker fought for the tutu, it made the cut. And there's your TV history nugget for the day.
