This list was made by me, after a weekend of watching all 28 episodes of "Coupling" for the first time. Even though the 4th series was enjoyable, no episodes from that series appear on this list. The show just wasn't the same without Jeff.
#10. "Size Matters" - This is early in Steve and Susan's relationship. In fact, it's episode two. There's a funny scene at the beginning where Steve calls her up and then freezes, so there's a giant, uncomfortable pause in the conversation. Susan also fills Sally in on why Patrick's so lucky, which only intimidates Steve, later on.
#9. "The Girl with Two Breasts" - Jeff meets a woman who doesn't speak english. After their converstation, the tables are turned and we re-watch the scene where we understand what she's saying, however, Jeff is speaking gibberish.
#8. "The Girl with One Heart" - During a party thrown by Susan at Steve's place, Sally meets Patrick's new girlfriend, who she's jealous of. The girlfriend thinks Sally is a lesbian and being bi, she thinks Sally's hitting on her...and she likes it. Meanwhile, Susan has removed the lock from Steve's bathroom door, which only causes trouble.
#7. "Sex, Death and Nudity" - This episode features 'The Giggle Loop,' which is explained to Steve and Patrick by Jeff. They then, along with the girls attend a funeral for Jane's aunt. During a minute of silence, the three guys try as hard as they can not to laugh.
#6. "The Man with Two Legs" - 'I have too many legs!" shouts Jeff. After finally being able to talk to a woman he's been attracted to for a while (though he's only seen her leg and the back of her head) he gets nervous and tells her he's got a wooden leg. It turns out that she falls for him BECAUSE of his missing leg. Though she's hot and wants him, he can't do anything with her, because she'll notice he has both legs.
#5. "Flushed" - This is where it all began. Steve dumped Jane and started dating Susan after she dumped Patrick. However, Steve was technically still with Jane when he asked Susan out. Jeff and Sally are there too. A great start to a great BBC show.
#4. "Her Best Friend's Bottom" - Steve accidentally stands behind Sally as her towel falls to her ankles while she's on the phone, unaware that he's there. Then she finds out and they both get very nervous and discuss it with their friends. One joke in this episode is a highlight for me. It's not Captain Subtext, which is what I think people will remember from this episode. Rather, the line from Patrick where he mentioned dating twins and not klnowing it. They dated him in shifts. He wondered why they had different names. When Jeff mentions fraternal twins, Patrick says how that would have been worse, lol. Meaning they didn't even look the same. :) And of course Steve goes off about little pillows for a couch.
#3. "Inferno" - Susan finds a video of Steve's "Lesbian Spank Inferno" while cleaning up his place. Jane brings her therapist, whom the gang believe is really her lesbian lover (though she's not). Then during a dinner with the whole gang there, Susan makes Steve give a description of the movie and explain why he likes it. The 4th "series" did sort of a sequel to this episode bringing back the therapist.
#2. "The End of the Line" - 'I'm Giselle' and 'I'm Dick Darlington!' Those two lines are spoken by everyone in the cast in this episode, after a huge misunderstanding, first caused by Jeff's girlfriend Julia. Steve gives his phone number to a girl he meets at the bar and then panics when he realizes Susan might find out.
#1. "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" - This is the episode where Susan, Jane and Sally all take pregnancy tests together. This also has Steve at the sperm bank with Jeff and Patrick. It also has the classic scene where Jane comes over to Jeff''s apartment for lunch. This is also the episode where Patrick and Sally decide to go out in a special scene at the bar, where Steve and Jeff dress up like Spider-Man and dance. It's also the episode where Susan tells Steve that it's someone else's turn to be the child, because she's pregnant. And sadly, it's the final episode to feature Jeff.
