"It was described as Sex and the Suburbs. It's so not that. Because on Sex and the City, those women told each other everything; on our show, it's much more like the real suburbs - nobody tells anybody anything. Everything's a secret"

This quote by James Denton speaks with the distinctions in between the program he remains in, and the popular program Sex and the City. He is stating that while Sex and the City was described as being like the suburban areas, it is not like that at all. On Sex and the City, the females tell each other whatever, but in the program he remains in, it is a lot more like the real suburbs, where no one informs anyone anything and whatever is a secret. This quote speaks to the concept that the residential areas are not always as they appear, which there is a lot of secrecy and secret that goes on in suburban life. It likewise speaks to the concept that the suburbs are not always as picturesque as they are portrayed in pop culture, and that there is a great deal of intricacy and depth to suburban life.
