Title: any Coupling fans around here?
Post by: Easy Morning Rebel on May 31, 2006, 04:18 PM
Anyone more than me around her who's crazy about BBC UK's TV-series Coupling. The american goes fine, as well though I prefer the british version a lot more.
Anyway, it would be fun to discuss this hilarious show with all of you lovely MMJ fellows. =)

Jeff says the most cleaver things ever, I really wish I had a pal like him or something like that. =P
And Sally is so much cool.

I watched the first few episodes. It wasn't for me, and not surprisingly, I hate Friends with a passion.

I thought Coupling was pretty good, but not my bag. Friends on the other hand...

i loved watching coupling!!! hugely funny show... jeff was definitely the best part of the show though, i love it how he's so out of his depth in terms of relationships (or even TALKING to women) but ploughs on, digging himself in deeper & deeper!!

hapless (but cute) is a word that springs to mind....  ;D

I really like this show as well.  My cousin got me into it over new years (he tivos it).  Anyway, since then I've bought season 2 on DVD and plan on getting some of the other episodes.  I absolutely love the Jeff character, my favorite episodes are the ones that feature a lot of him, esp. if the storyline centers around him.  I love the too many legs episode and the bucket full of ears episode.  I noticed Jaimoe mentioned the "Friends" comparison, and although I see the similarity, I personally can't stand "friends" but find this show just more intelligent and witty.  Definitely worth checking out.  Probably my favorite recent discovery regarding T.V. and in general  I can't stand most of what's on tv these days.  Great topic, thanks for posting EasyMornReb.

Oh yeah, 'The Man With Two Legs' are hilarious.

"I've got the key to the gates of paradise but I've got too many legs!"

"This is the curse of Jeff Murdock. I meet the woman of my dreams, and I can't take my trousers off!"

Or this one from 'The Mealty Man Cometh'

"All of us in our time are visited by the Melty Man... Don't say his name, Patrick. Don't even think his name, or he will rise from the shadow dimensions to do his evil work inside your terrified pants."

lol, I laugh as much every time I'm seeing it. Simply can't get enough of it, it's my new drug. =P

No probs, always nice to discuss more than one interest you have with like-minded people. =D
