"AnnaSophia Robb has discouraged comparisons between her new series The Carries Diaries and Sex and the City. Robb recently praised Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker for doing &amp;quot;a beautiful job&amp;quot; of playing Carrie Bradshaw, while also saying that The Carrie Diaries is trying to establish a unique identity for the character.   The 19-year-old Colorado native further expressed her hope for The Carrie Diaries to move out from Sex and the City&amp;#039;s shadow in a recent chat with TV Guide. &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t compare it to the original; just embrace it for what it is,&amp;quot; Robb urged Carrie Diaries viewers. The actress added: &amp;quot;We want audiences to enjoy this and not scrutinise every little detail. Enjoy the ride and the fashion and characters we&amp;#039;ve created.&amp;quot;  Robb went on to reveal that she actually knew very little about Sex and the City prior to landing the lead role in The Carrie Diaries. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t super familiar with Sex and the City... because the show ended when I was 12,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Now I watch and love it, [and see that The Carrie Diaries has] similar flavours to the original show, but you&amp;#039;re watching her experience all of these things for the first time.  &amp;quot;I love the episode when Carrie goes to Paris and claps because it&amp;#039;s everything she ever dreamed of. That&amp;#039;s what New York is for this Carrie. She&amp;#039;s realizing you could go to these fabulous parties and wear these amazing shoes and express yourself and she&amp;#039;s finding her voice in high school and in the city.&amp;quot;  Carrie Diaires showrunner Amy B Harris recently hinted that Sex and the City characters like Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha could eventually appear in the prequel series. The CW airs The Carrie Diaries on Mondays at 8/7c. &amp;gt; The Carrie Diaries series premiere recap: Finding a new Bradshaw Watch a trailer for The Carrie Diaries below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
