Re: Time and Timelines

I've got another one:
The HBO television series which featured Sarah Jessica Parker who played a columnist by the name of Carrie Bradshaw living in NYC with three other friends. The series centered around these 4 single women and their love lives. In addition to the 6 seasons of the show, there were two movies by the same name.
I've always known this show as "Sex in the City", but all traces of it are listed as "Sex AND the City" (emphasis mine).
Any thoughts? Is this evidence that we are on a different timeline than we originally were? Or some other change to collective memory? Does anyone else remember the original title?
In addition to this, I've asked a couple of people the title of the show while being careful not to mention any of the words contained in the title (using only character and actor names as I did above). Their first reaction is always "Sex in the City", but they quickly rescind their answer after looking it up. I'm not sure what's more disturbing - the incongruity between mine (and seemingly everyone else's) memory and current evidence or how quickly people are to alter their memories in the face of confronting evidence of phenomena outside their comfort zone.
