Coupling

[edgecrusher]

Has anyone else seen ths show?....its brilliant!. It's from England and it has three guys and three girls ( sounds like it the TV friends) but this is a hell of a lot more funnier, its rated M and all they talk about is sex.

Every time I watch it I'm in tears from laughing. I reckon that Friends is rubbish compared to this show and i have heard that there will be an American version of this show but it won't be as funny.

Has anyone else seen this funny show? and do you think its better then Friends?. For you Aussies here its on at Thursday night 9:00pm on the ABC....CHECK IT OUT!

Coupling is a funny a show, whether it is better than Friends or not is a matter of personal opinion, its comedy, British comedy and it does appeal to me sometimes, it’s a real hit and miss show for me, some weeks it’s the funnest show ive seen other weeks its just as weak as water.

As for whether the American version not being funny, I most certainly wouldnt rule out the possibility that it will be very funny, but who knows just have to wait to see what the American writers will come up with.

i LOVE british comedy....red dwarf, mr bean, are you being served

uuummm...ooohhh...what's the one where the stupid guy says "oooooh, betty, the cat did a whoopsie in my beret"??

[MyRobotSuit]

'Some mothers do av em' with 'frank spencer' the main character. I love red dwarf also.....

[n7of9]

ooohhh yey..that's it

as for the short crimson one in the sky....i've got em all on vid...and watch an episode every night before i go to bed...i;ve been doing that for about 8 years now...its a BIT of an obsession on mine...don't tell ayone though...its a bit embarassing :rolleyes:

[MyRobotSuit]

yeah, well, i've got them on vid 2, but im gonna buy the dvds as i think the commentry will be funny

[filmfreak]

Did anyone ever see the US Red Dwarf pilot. It had Robert Llewellyn as Kryten but that was its only saving grace! It was terrible.

Why do the US TV execs feel the need to Americanise great British TV programs? One Foot In The Grave, Men Behaving Badly and even the Office? Why not just leave it be, its obviously funny or they wouldnt have bought it in the first place. Are American audiences completely averse to watching import television?

Anyway rant over. Coupling is great and i believe the first series has just been released in the States on DVD. So all you US fans go out and buy it.

[MyRobotSuit]

There's an american version of the office! omg!

[filmfreak]

Not yet but theyre working on it!

I wonder which town/city will get the privilege of being the Slough of America?

Coupling was the best programme on TV, the fourth and sixth episodes from the third series had me in stitches. Patrick and jane are my favourite characters :D
Patrick: I know, I know, ugly people can have feelings too, and frankly, it doesn't improve them any :laugh:

[Naisy]

I would have to say Patrick and I think its Jeremy that are my fav's ahhh whoever it is that doesnt get laid all that often and makes a fool of himself....too tired, i shouldnt be posting should I? :)

[filmfreak]

I think you mean Geoff, Naisy!

The Welsh one who has all the theories, like the Melty Man. His character is very funny, and he's not actually welsh in real life.

[Naisy]

yeah whatever, that will do, im not entirely obsessed with the show, like i said for me, its a hit and miss series, but a good one all the same. Also Jane is retarded as well, which is what adds comedy to her character.

[edgecrusher]

So there is a 3rd series?.....they are close to finishing the 2nd here in Australia..I hope they will show the third series here as well as bring it out on dvd down here...if they dont i'll just buy it from the states or England

[Revenge of Mr M]

The last one in series two is an all time classic

We haven't got the 3rd series on DVD yet here in the UK but apparently its on its way. The first two came out here last year.

I just saw the ending of serious 2 where wilma is chasing and wants jeff and told her girlfriend he loves her but at the same time he told wilma he wants her at the same time and it was too be continued.....can anyone tell me what happens?....please...

[Revenge of Mr M]

You mean episode 2 I suppose. Aw... can't you wait?:)

[Naisy]

episode 2 or series 2? there is a difference, but which is our friend referring to? hmmmm

[edgecrusher]

guys.......come on....stop teasing....please tell me :D

[Revenge of Mr M]

Jane wins The Insane Welshman Quiz: "How can a still current girlfriend also be ex?"

[edgecrusher]

awwwww....come on guys...please tell:yup:

[Revenge of Mr M]

Have you still not seen it?

[edgecrusher]

nah they won't be showing series 3 till later on this year sometime.....thats why I'd like to know:D

[Revenge of Mr M]

How did you see the second episode then?

[edgecrusher]

Was that the second episode of the third serious?....

I just saw the ending of serious 2 where wilma is chasing and wants jeff and told her girlfriend he loves her but at the same time he told wilma he wants her at the same time and it was too be continued.....

On the tv network they said that this was the last episode of the second serious.....so who is right?...and more importantly what happens with jeff?

[Revenge of Mr M]

I am right and your tv station is utterly wrong.
Anyway, the gist of is that Wilma traps Jeff into either agreeing to have a night of unconditional sex, or tell her that she is ugly. Susan gets mad at Steve because when she tells him to explain to Jeff why it was wrong to cheat on his girlfriend, he yelled "Jeff, no, it could be a trick!!"
Somehow, Wilma gets the idea that Jeff's girlfriend is ex and Jeff says "well she's ex in some way, but also still current in another"
and Susan says Go on explain that one" Jane walks in at this point. "It's the insane welshman quiz round one, how can an ex-girlfriend still be current?" and Jane shouts "Because she's dead!" and you know they are giving Jeff advice down the phone? Well, he thinks that is the advice, and thus says "Becausae she's dead!":laugh:

[edgecrusher]

thanks :yup:

[Revenge of Mr M]

No probs

[Pyro Tramp]

I heard that Coupling was remade for America, but the audience didnt understand the british humour?
The new series has started here in UK and theres no Jeff, its never the same.

[MyRobotSuit]

There's a new guy and he's ok, he's a grower.

[Pyro Tramp]

Admittedly i've missed a few, but from what i've seen he isnt all that, no Jeff by a long way. Jeff really did make that show
