Summary: Great! Give me more!
Review: Oh, this is worth owning! My sides hurt from laughing so much! The only problem, if there is a problem, is that there's not enough of them. (Only 6 episodes)

Summary: ...And I thought British comedy was "dry" !!!
Review: I was watching Monty Python on BBC America while laying in bed. My remote control had fallen on the floor, and I was feeling too lazy to get out of my warm bed to pick it up! The show that followed Python was something called "Coupling" that I had no intention of watching if it hadn't been for that little streak of laziness.As it turned out, I happened to tune in during a Coupling marathon which played every episode from the first season back to back. Within ten minutes of watching "Flushed", I was hooked! How good was it? BBC America showed the marathon twice in a row... and, don't you know, I watched it in its entirety... TWICE!! I was an immediate fan, as you will be, too! I had never before seen a show as cleverly written and imaginative. An example of this would be where in the local bar, a main character, Jeff, sits at a table with a beautiful Israeli girl who doesn't speak a lick of english. The hilarity of him trying to break the language barrier ... was good enough. But it didn't stop there. All of a sudden the scene stops and rewinds to where he sits down with her, and some graphics come up saying "Now imagine that you don't speak English..." Then it replays the entire scene with the Israeli girl speaking English, and everyone else in the bar speaking some other language. Now you see how tough the language barrier really can be. All the parts you thought were funny before become downright hilarious in another language!! You'll never look at a "woman with two breasts" the same ever again! I've now been a devoted fan for its three seasons with many to follow (I hope). I can't imagine what this show will be like when it is remade for America to replace "Friends". We should just leave well enough alone and show the British version instead. I"m sure I'll watch one or two of the American episodes, but I truly doubt if it will be as good as the original. The cast has such great chemistry with each other. Half of its charm is that I didn't know any of the actors from anything else, which made it truly "fresh". There's no doubt that the American producers will try to put one or two "stars" in the series which will taint the show from the start. Trust me... Buy the DVD and enjoy it time and again. This show will have you laughing aloud to yourself in church when one of the many memorable scenes suddenly pops into your head!

Summary: Wow! Perhaps my favorite TV comedy of all time?
Review: "Coupling" is incredibly funny, the first time I saw an episode I was laughing throughout and it only gets better as you learn the characters' personalities. This is perhaps my favorite TV comedy ever! Keep your eye on BBC America for more great British programming. The rest of the world sees our TV programs, shouldn't we watch the world's? I can't comment on the DVDs as I have not purchased them yet, but have watched many episodes on BBC America.

Summary: Friends & Seinfeld were never this funny!
Review: I first caught this show between episodes of Changing Rooms on BBCAmerica and have been hooked ever since. The DVD is great, because I get to catch up on the whole first season. This show is a non-stop laugh attack. My husband and I both watched the entire DVD from start to finish in one evening. We couldn't stop watching. We even watched all the extra bonus material! It is unfair to compare this show to Friends, Seinfeld, or Sex in the City. This show does a much better job of showing both sides of the story and making it funny. The two breasts episode from Season One rivals Seinfeld's Indian wedding episode. If you are tired of the usual sitcoms with sexual tension, this one is a wonderfully funny, refreshing, gut splitting change!

Summary: how did recommendations miss me on this one?
Review: Much snappier dialogue and more laughs per minute than the overly angst driven "Sex in the City" series.
I caught part of an episode while visiting a friend. After a few minutes, I was so caught up in the dialogue that I started ignoring my buddy.
Of course I rushed out to find this DVD the next day - and am anxiously awaiting MORE!

Summary: Coupling - Season 1
Review: This is a smart, hilarious and incredibly witty sitcom from the BBC, and one of the best reasons to watch television...period. The screen writing, storylines and engaging characters make this a must have DVD for anyone who simply enjoys laughing out loud. I can't wait for season 2 to become available. Jack Davenport and Sarah Alexander are marvelous in the series primary roles, "Steve" and "Susan", and Richard Coyle is simply amazing as the offbeat "Jeff". He makes Seinfeld's "Kramer" seem minor league in comparison. I highly recommend this DVD.

Summary: More than just "Friends" with sex
Review: Coupling is a wonderful and fun TV series from Great Britian, it has often been described as "Friends" with sex, but it's more than that. The show is very heavy into examining relationships- between men and women, men and men, and women and women. These relationships run the gamut from friendships, flirtation and of course romance and sexuality. Of particular interest is the "Jeff" character who is cut mostly from the same cloth as Seinfeld's "Kramer". Jeff is hardly a clone however- and over time I came to quite appreciate his wit and witnessness. If you are not familar with British culture, some of the jokes and references may fly past you. I think everyone can enjoy and appreciate these episodes, so indulge!

Summary: LOVE IT!
Review: I discovered "Coupling" on BBC America and was immediately hooked! It's smart, quick and funny! And there's an occasional dose of mild nudity to spice things up. What more could you ask for?
Rating:
Summary: Hilarious!! If you like Friends, you'll love Coupling!!
Review: For those of you out there who like Friends, you should definitely watch Coupling. It's raunchier, sexier more funny than anything you've ever seen on American television. I could not stop laughing from the first episode where Jane refuses to accept that Steve has broken up with her to the last episode where Jane is afraid she is a star in one of Patricks videos. It's a must see!!!

Summary: Minor Corrections
Review: Hi Anyone Reading This: Minor correction -- people keep referring to this show as a 30 minute show. It isn't -- it's a 40 minute show with no commercials (DVD) or an hour with commercials (BBC America, PBS).
