Title: BBC does it best!
Product review: "Coupling" is the UK's answer to "Friends" -- and, as usually is the case with BBC productions, it's far and away a better act. The ensemble is hilarious. "Friends" had its funniest season in its debut season, in my opinion, and "Coupling" well surpassed all "Friends" humor in this debut DVD.Sure, "Coupling" suffers from the same problem that "Friends" does: How come none of these people seem to have friends who are not white? (At least "Coupling" contains an openly bisexual woman, whereas Ross' lesbian ex-wife completely vanished from "Friends"). While that complaint is valid, the show remains bust-a-gut funny.The "Giggle Loop" has to become Seinfeld-esque reference to anyone whose ever found the urge to break out laughing at markedly inopportune moments. And I'd love to see what else is in the Cupboard of Patrick's Love!It's shows like this that make me want to move to the UK, or at least pony up the extra money to get BBC America on my cable system.
