But that wasn't always the case. Even when it comes to Hudson Valley mentioned in television or film. We would be lucky if we'd hear "Upstate" on an episode of Law and Order back in the early 2000s. Now, it's a common practice.

I was recently reminded of one of my favorite HV mentions in a 2009 TV show-turned-movie.

Remember When Charlotte Poughkeepsie'd Her Pants?

Growing up in the late 90s early and early 2000s was a wild time as we were just getting acclimated with the internet and learning how to use our TIVos. It was however an excellent time for entertainment.

Sex and The City was one of the biggest shows at the time and made Cosmo the most popular drink among women thanks to Carrie Bradshaw. The show grew in popularity so much so that after it ended in 2004, fans needed more.

So, in 2008 Sex and the City: The Movie hit theaters.

I wasn't much of an SATC watcher, but I was dragged to the movie with my friends and was pleasantly surprised when Poughkeepsie, New York got a shout-out.

No spoilers, but it all goes down in Mexico when Charlotte is terrified of drinking the water because she doesn't want to get sick. To avoid any potential disasters, Charlotte, played by Kristin Davis, packs pudding from Poughkeepsie.

However, she is unable to escape the inevitable and this classic scene is born:

I think me and my friends used the term "Poughkeepsie'd her pants" for at least a year after the movie came out.

Hilarious.

Hudson Valley Movie Mentions & Connections

Besides Charlotte "Poughkeepsie'ing" her pants, do you have a favorite Hudson Valley movie or television mention?

On December 18th, 1997, the television show Friends aired and episode called The One With The Girl From Poughkeepsie. As most of us know the show Friends is based in New York City, IMDB explains how the episode gets its name writing "Ross struggles to maintain a long-distance relationship."

I don't know if I would call NYC to Poughkeepsie long distance, but that's just me.
