Coupling
 
I happened to catch an episode or two on PBS.

This is much better written and funnier than Friends.

Anyone else seen it?

If I recall, NBC tried to make an American version of it last Fall, and it sucked compared to the original.

I loooooove "Coupling!" Jeff is my absolute favorite--I was devastated when he left this season. Its not the same without Jeff. :(

Jane's HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I guess I have to buy the DVDs on ebay or something. They never consistently show it on PBS.

I saw one epsiode of the American version of Coupling. it was all right.

Thank God for PBS. They have imported some great English shows. Coupling is usually on Sunday nights. I love the theme song. I agree with DeltaSig that the writers for the American version should have studied the original a bit more.

I've been watching it on netflix, only seen the first 2 seasons so far. It's so funny, better than almost everything on American tv right now. Instead of remaking it, they should have just shown the BBC episodes on prime time.

I just found Coupling last night and I loved it! It's pretty original, and since we steal most of our ideas from the British anyway, why not watch their shows?

I absolutely love this show. I manage to catch it on PBS or BBC Canada. I haven't been watching it lately though, Jeff leaves the show? That sucks, I love his character.

I love Coupling! I watch on both PBS and BBC America. I miss Jeff terribly (I wish that he could come back)! I think that Oliver guy is way too weird and annoying!

I will reach through the television set and smack Oliver if he says, "Craziness!" one more time! :p

No one will ever, EVER, be able to replace Jeff. "The Man With Two Legs" is my all-time favorite episode.
