Coupling: British "Friends" except ACTUALLY funny

[Ayumi]

I saw the Friends thread and decided to make a thread dedicated to Coupling. It's about six friends, three male, three female, much like American "Friends" except with a twist. This show is hilariously dirty and goes places where Friends wouldn't dream of going due to American broadcasting restrictions. Every episode is usually told in a different format depending on the story, which makes it unique and interesting to watch.

It makes for epic TV. I hope those who haven't seen Coupling download a torrent or pick up the DVDs (I own three out of four seasons on DVD). Check it out, at the very least it's not as bad as "Friends".

One last thing, the writer, Stephen Moffat, later goes on to become a writer for the new Doctor Who series. :3

heh I remember this series, I think I was like 10 or 11 when I first saw it XD man it kept me up during boring nights, and if Moffat was a scriptwriter no wonder it was good, damn the guy never ceases to amaze me.

I know... When I watch DW, I can just TELL without looking at the credits which episodes he wrote/co-wrote. That man is brilliant. <3

Coupling is absolutely great! It was all about the random things that came out of Jeff

I first saw this show heavily edited on PBS and I loved it. They've been showing it on BBC America and I watch it whenever I can, it really is hilarious.

Gee, so many threads related to the TV show Friends all of a sudden.

Anyway, there pretty much WAS a British version of Friends before..
