Coupling Reviews

Coupling has been called a 'British version of Friends' by some but realistically it's as good if not at some points, funnier than Friends and just because it has 6 main characters (3 girls 3 guys) doesn't make it the next Friends. Anyway, Friends issues aside this show is comedy gold. It follows the lives of... Jeff (the ...  Read the complete review

Most of the programmes that my daughters like I detest and can't watch most of them, mostly because they are horrors or about vampire slayers! However they do occasionally watch some little gems of programmes in which Coupling is one of them. I first watched it when they had it on DVD and found myself a little bit addicted to ...  Read the complete review

I'm still convinced that machines don't rule my life. However, during the second series of Coupling, I was happy to let it. After watching the first episode, I cleared Monday nights in my diary and ensured that I was always free come 10pm. It was worth it. Coupling has to be the finest thing to come out of the BBC. The script ...  Read the complete review

Coupling is billed a young persons comedy programme. All cast members are between 20 and 30 and have a regular meeting point (a bar). Does this seem familiar to anyone? Well you would be right in guessing that this sounds identical to the long running American comedy programme Friends. Coupling is set in London and follows the relationships of 6 ...  Read the complete review

So good old Auntie beeb have done it again... You just have to look at the opinions for this brilliant comedy to realise its in the wrong place at the wrong time. Surely this is the beeb at its best, the storylines are witty, frighteningly funny with just enough sauce to keep you giggling for ages. The basic idea is a look not at the ...  Read the complete review

Coupling is one of the funniest sitcoms I have ever seen. I don't know why it's on BBC2 - it deserves to be aired on BBC1 prime time, I'm sure the viewing ratings would soar! Coupling is basically like an English version of Channel 4's Friends, but it's even funnier. The storyline revolves around the six central ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes you just get stuck on the sofa with beer and snacks and can barely raise the energy to change the channel. That's what happened with me and Coupling, BBC2's peculiar Monday night sitcom. Yes, it's a UK version of Friends but somehow manages to be even less funnier. It does, however, retain the smugness, the ...  Read the complete review

This is the first time that I have been moved to write an opinion on Dooyoo but this is the only platform for me to urge others to take a look at the new series of Coupling on BBC2. Last night (Monday, 3 September 2001) I watched the first episode of the second series, which started at 10.00 pm and I can genuinely state that I laughed ...  Read the complete review

It seems that every other year someone has a moan about the state of British situation comedy and that it’s not up to the standard of Only Fools and Horses or Dad’s Army. The only show to emerge from all that seems to be The Royle Family that, while being original and funny, is a little overrated. Nobody seems to mention the ...  Read the complete review

Six twentysomethings. 3 male and 3 female. Plotlines revolve around sex and relationships. Shown on a Friday night. I know what you're thinking, and yes, the show is a little bit like Friends. In fact, the only weak point of Series 1 seemed to be that it was trying to be like other shows. In one episode, five of the characters are in ...  Read the complete review

I'm truly amazed that this BBC comedy isn't being raved about. I'm a fan of TV comedy, and it's not often I laugh out loud, but for some reason, this show has struck a chord with me. If I had to categorise the show, I guess it's a mix of Friends-with-edge (six thirty-somethings), Game On (sexual themes) and Men ...  Read the complete review
