So, had heard a dear friend raving about this series ..
He was exploring new avenues to productively spend uneventful evenings post 'Friends' days and stumbled upon this :-))

I sneaked a peek back in Seattle and found it to be extremely funny. Its more of an at your face kinda comedy loaded with sexual innuendoes. I mean quite funny with the brit accent thrown it :-) Knit around 3 couples trying to find love and hold on to relationships.
Somehow I think the fuinniest episode I saw so far was the one where Steve and Susan had to go to a antenatal class and Susan wants to take Sally along as a back up just in case Steve can't 'cope-up'. But Sally gets cold feet very soon and ropes in Jane. So, here's a scene where all the 3 couples are in the class and suddenly they realize that Patrick has had an affair at some time or the other with all the women in that class. Ok, its not so funny when i narrate like this, in fact even I am not finding it very funny :p But i was really rolling in laughter when i saw that episode.
Anyways, to cut the long story short and before i go into more of such boring narratives, its quite a series and definitely worth a dekkho :-)

Didn't Coupling get pulled off the air coz it was not as popular as it was expected to be?
Btw, apparently "Joey" has been running for the past month. I've missed the first few episodes. It's supposed to be strictly okay. Nothing great. Let's see.
Coupling is still very much on BBC. I am not quite sure about the opinion poll on it but its definitely one of teh funniest series I have seen in the recent past. But of course its quite at your face kind of a comedy so not everybody may tend to appreciate it, but it rocks ! :-)
I used to watch Joey actually, its quite sweet. It doesn't warrant any kind of comparison with its orginating series but by itself it is kinda funny in an endearing way.
I didn't realise Joey started before you left...
