Rating: Summary: Fabulous Show Review: If you don't find this show funny, you are dead.
Rating: Summary: The most fun you can have with clothes on... Review: This show is so much fun, it makes Friends seem like the Flintstones. Even though the dialogue hardly ever strays from the subject of sex and relationships, you will have a blast watching the characters try to make sense of their lives. And the more they try, the weirder things get. Despite the fact that all of them have dated each other with mixed results, they are better friends than they realize. They try to help each other out. Get this DVD now! You will end up waiting anxiously for the second season to come out on DVD.
Rating: Summary: Just as funny as Red Dwarf Review: One review here says: "Coupling is the best show besides Red Dwarf to come out of England!"I thought only I felt that way. Yes, it is true. Coupling is truely great. I love both Red Dwarf and Coupling. Can't wait for season two and three to be available on DVD. It is not only a funnier show than 'Friends' but it can be thought of as the 'thinking mans' version of Friends. Smart and Intelligent - that's how I see it.
Rating: Summary: Blows American humor totally away Review: Having lived in the states since I was three, yet being of nearly 100% British heritage, I love sitting down and watching a good Britcom on Saturdays. This typically meant AYBS, Keeping Up Appearances, Waiting for God, My Hero, As Time Goes By, and so on. But, when my wife and I watched the first episode of Coupling, we both laughed our [bottoms]off! This is by far the funniest comedy I've seen in years, and this is coming from a big fan of Black Adder and Jeeves and Wooster. Every episode had us laughing in our seats, much more so than ANY American comedies, or even other Britcoms, for that matter. Coupling is simply the best written comedy I've ever seen; the humor is adult, certainly, but being 29, I find that I can easily relate with the characters. Favorite episode? "Inferno"; just watch it and you'll see why. .... Don't believe me? Watch a few episodes of Coupling and you'll see what I mean!
Rating: Summary: very smart AND very funny! Review: While many people view this series as sort of a "Friends" knockoff, it really isn't. There are similarities, but the humor isn't as forced, and it is also more sophisticated on one hand, but more low-brow on the other hand. The result is a wonderful British comedy, that hits any 30-something who's been single or dating quite close to home. The characters don't get more fully fleshed out until the second and third seasons (which probably won't be out on DVD for another few years), but the writing is top-notch and the humor will not only cause giggles of amusement, but also full-out belly laughs. This is one of the smartest and funniest shows on TV today!
Rating: Summary: Greatest Comedy Ever!!!! Review: Ever since I saw an episode of Coupling, I can't seem to get enough of them. They are hilarious and the show is the best. I watch Coupling over and over again, it's none stop laughter. I can't get enough of all of them, especially Jeff. I recommend Coupling to anyone who watches Friends. In fact, Coupling is better than Friends.
Rating: Summary: USA TAKE NOTE: WHAT A TV SHOW SHOULD BE LIKE Review: It's written by the brilliant Moffet who also did Chalk, Press Gang and Doctor Who CURSE OF THE FATAL DEATH!!!!! This is simply the best written sitcom of it's type that has ever been. I heard the comparisons to FRIENDS and I had never seen Friends before. I have since seen Friends and I want to throw up. Anyone who could put the brilliant Couplings in the same catagory with Friends must think Juliet of the Spirits was a prequel to Puppet Master. In anycase, buy this show and throw rocks at Friends
Rating: Summary: I love Coupling Review: This DVD is Funny! I recommend it to anyone who like Friends or Sex and the City. This show is both in one. Plus, Patrick is fine!!
Rating: Summary: Better than "Friends" . . . . Review: As a admitted fan of "Seinfeld" and (sometimes) "Sex and the City," I was a little apprehensive about this series when I first saw it on my local PBS station. I initially felt that this was a bootleg attempt at what many times we as an American audience have borne witness to . . . a trans-Atlantic version of a successful sitcom from the home country. But over a period of watching the show, I was pleased with the wittiness of the dialogue and the chemsitry between the characters. So yes, this may borrow some elements from successful American shows (like the ones I mentioned above), but it has a uniqueness all its own. P.S. I read that they will attempt to make an American version of "Coupling" in 2003. My advice: leave it alone!
Rating: Summary: Funnier than "Friends" Review: This comedy blows "Friends" out of the water. I don't even like to refer to it as the "British Friends" because this show is in a class by itself. Really funny!
