Coupling

Now that season three of the BBC's Coupling is over, my new favorite TV activity is to watch the mediocre version of NBC's Coupling on Thursday night ... and then on Friday night watch the reruns of season one of the British version. It's usually a week off, but it's quite a fun game to see how, even though the shows are pretty much shot-for-shot, they dumbed down the US version. Not quite as sexy. Not quite as intelligent. Not quite as funny.
