Summary: "Friends"? Step Aside!
Review: "Coupling" is an absolutely marvellous treat for all people who like comedies - I'd NEVER laughed so hard watching any shows but this Britcom is just amazing. The scripts are very well written, the dialogues witty, the storylines full of twists and turns, the actors/actresses perfectly chosen for their roles - and the quality of the show is quite equally high from one episode to another. If you think "Friends" is good, watch "Coupling" and you'd know what exceptionally good is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the most hysterical shows ever!
Review: I am an avid BBC America viewer - this program hooked me the first time I watched it. I made my husband watch it and he was instantly hooked too. It is funny beyond belief! Both men and women can relate to it, and gives you inside glimpses into the minds of the opposite sex.

This isn't Friends...this isn't even the NBC version of Coupling. Even though they used almost the exact same script, the actors and director of the NBC version did not hit the mark even remotely. The British cast and director hit the mark square in the center every time. The characters are likeable, even with their flaws - and it's their flaws that make them hysterical.

One thing - this is not something to watch in front of kids - this is very adult humor.

This is comedy at it's best. You will hurt yourself laughing. We enjoy it so much, we're getting this set to give to friends of ours for Christmas.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Funny
Review: I caught this show on the local PBS station and immediately fell in love with it. Baudy without being vulgar it is a laugh riot from start to finish. The only drawback is the number of episodes. Evidently, British TV does not run on a strict new episode every week format. So both season one and two together have fewer episodes than one season of a typical American TV show. But it does make up in quality what it lacks in quantity.

I highly recommend the seris

Summary: Funniest show EVER!
Review: I got hooked on this show watching BBC America in its first season and it quickly became my favorite show of all time. Unfortunately, the American copy didn't work at all, but this DVD is a must have in any comedy enthusiast's collection. The comparison to a cross between 'Friends' and 'Sex and the City' doesn't do it justice. This series is fresh, witty and sometimes a little raunchy, but I've never laughed so hard! The writing and cast are superb and I can't wait for Series 3 on DVD!

Summary: Friends? No comparison!!
Review: I have not seen the DVD version but I have seen every episode. This is our favorite British Comedy!!! I enjoy Friends but I never laugh this hard. My husband almost hurt himself laughing at poor neurotic Jeff doing his blindfolded strip tease for his "surprise" birthday party!!! Much wittier than Friends could be. The storylines in each episode are great!!! They are so convoluded with twist and turns. The American/NBC version was absolutely painful for us to watch..we wrote to NBC to complain! PLease don't compare the American version to the original - they are apples and oranges. The original is fantastic and I've ordered mine!! Can't wait til Christmas on this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: funniest series ever
Review: i really love this series, superb mix of unpredictable humor,
and story line. for those who think that "friends" is good, must
watch this... Most american comedies are so predictable that this britcom is a refreshing change .

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better humor than American could ever do...
Review: I think alot of Americans are turning to Britian for comedy these days. Between the advent of "reality tv"(If you'd like to call that load of bollocks reality) and censorship at an all time high, England's hysterical BBC has become a haven for SMART and INTELLIGENT Americans in search of witty and yet sometimes raunchy humor. Coupling has become my all-new favourite since ABFAB. So well written and performed by all concerned. Brilliant
(Jeff's most commonly used word)jokes and the most unreal sex farces you'll ever see!! All 3 seasons are so very worthy indeed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This show made me jealous that I wasn't British too!
Review: If even you were to watch these episodes out of order, there is no way you could possibly get lost! You could start in the middle of Season 2 and still find your way back to the start; all of it still making perfect sense! That's the brilliance of Steven Moffat! This show is a breath of fresh air in all aspects of a sitcom. Steven Moffat has been very creative about the way each episode is shot, and giving the viewer the sensation of almost being in that position yourself. He take's our mundane day to day activities from men and women and makes me look at things in a wetting your trousers perspective or pissing myself silly with laughter! Seasons 3 & 4 are ingeniously well written and shot cinemetography speaking. The plot line is just as funny and he hasn't missed a beat yet! Steven Moffat's my idol!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If Friends and Sex and the City had a baby...
Review: If you like Friends and Sex in the City, you'll love Coupling. It's the funniest, smartest, most original comedy I've seen in a long time. My husband and I love to watch it together so it appeals to men and women alike.

The cast is brilliant! The characters and the situations they find themselves in could easily become silly and annoying. However, the excellent actors make their quirky characters both human and endearing. (There was an attempt at an American version and it flopped because of the lousy actors, in my opinion.)

I've watched each episode at least two times and they still crack me up. This is a definite must-have.
