One last thing before bed.

Did anyone watch Coupling last night? Yawn. Maybe it'll get better after an episode or two when the characters are established and we actually care who they are, but it was pretty boring if you ask me. When The National is more entertaining than THE hottest new sitcom out the door, you should worry.

I would really like to see the original British version of this show though. From everything I've heard over the last couple years, the British Coupling is outstanding. The American version was like Friends where all the characters were the same and just talked about sex for the whole show...

And this is Friends circa 2000-2003, not 1993-94 when it actually was funny and fresh. I used to enjoy Friends back in the day, but not since about 2nd-3rd season when it got dumb and not funny and the laugh track ruled all!

So for a comedy to come along and just emulate Friends of this era, it sure doesn't do much for me. Even Julie, Friends-o-holic extraordinaire just sort of flipped around during Coupling. So if you haven't seen it, don't bother. You're not missing anything.
