If you haven’t seen Coupling (the British version; there is no American version as far as I’m concerned), you’re missing out. It may be the best-written sitcom in the history of television. There’s much that’s hilarious, but the best bits may well be the explanations.
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
True true, I've always found it to be the cleverest of the "stupid" sitcoms. As in, a lot of the sitcoms are about stupidity, but here it's done pretty smartly.
Not only was there no American series, but there are those who claim that there was no fourth season, following Jeff's leaving the show.I think that all four seasons were awesome, but admit that Jeff was a lot more fun to watch than Oliver.cicely
I have a long and glorious history of introducing people to this show, owning all four seasons and all. No one has ever yet complained about it.If you have a Netflix account, you can watch all episodes online, by the way, which is nice.
Samia, you're definitely not the only person who can't stand this show. Like a lot of comedy, it uses stereotypes as its launching pad. I think the cleverness of what it does from there more than makes up for that, but that's certainly not going to be the case for everyone.Betül, you've seen 9-1/2 minutes, right? The first episode with Oliver? I think that's not only the funniest Coupling episode, but the funniest sitcom episode ever.

The most hilarious coupling episode is "the girl with two breasts" in my opinion. If you can't find it, let me know, I can send it you.

Am I the only person on Earth who can't stand this show? Hmm.
I love this program!!!
