Anybody watch the show Coupling?
I'm not sure how many of you folks have ever caught the show Coupling. It's a British show, but they play it at least 5 or 6 times a week on BBC America. A lot of people liken it to Friends, but I would say the Coupling cast is far better and the show is much funnier.
Judging by the humor level of this board, I would say that most of you would enjoy it if you haven't seen it.

One of my favourite comedy shows. It's being re-run in the UK, too.

My wife and I both watch it when we notice that it's on. It's hilarious.
It doesn't hurt that all three chicks are easy to look at.

We have most of the series on DVD and watch it if I notice it is on without hesitation. It is very funny and it was unfortunate when the guy who played Jeff decided to leave the show. He was the funniest part.
They actually tried to make an american version - it was lame and only aired the pilot I believe.

british humor does not generally hit well with us dullards here in the USA. Joe sixpack much prefers to "git er done"

I have it on DVD. I don't think I have ever laughed harder at any other tv show. Even the second and third viewings...

Excellent show! My favourite episode was the one where Jeff turns up at the pub wearing an S&M mask...

Absolutely hilarious. I have all the episodes downloaded and will alternate between watching that and Top Gear when on con-calls. Jeff kills me.....his theories and the way he can flub any situation. And of course I relate very much to Patrick..

This show totally cracks me up, like the time Jeff wasn’t sure he was on a date or not, and had his friends coaching him over the phone, and ends up telling his date that his girlfriend is dead. It all goes horribly wrong, and at the end of the two part episode, he says “Well that basically went OK” or something like that.
But BBC America seems to show a small subset of the episodes (perhaps one season?) over and over again. What’s up with that?
