I can't believe no one here watches Coupling...how is that even possible?

Anyone here a fan? I have almost all of them on my computer.

Oh Jeffrey! A friend turned me on to Coupling. It is one of the few shows I watch in repeats. So many funny lines, gags, etc. I missed Jeffrey though in season 4.

I loved Coupling!

I had heard it mentioned somewhere, so I thought I would check it out. I rented the entire series via netflix.

It had been a long time since I laughed out loud while by myself, watching T.V.. I had to learn quickly not to drink anything while watching as it might be launched out the nose at any moment

The episode with Jeff's "dead" girlfriend had me rolling.

Jeff was easily the star of the show, it turned to crap after he left.

Loved the use of split screen and flashbacks. Did the american version have any 'effects'?

Only three episodes aired here in the US. It definitely did not live up to the pure greatness of the UK version. It just seemed really... off.

The fourth season has never aired here yet.

Does anybody know why he did leave?

maybe not in your area, but the 4th season has aired at least twice on
WTTW in Chicago in 2005.

I mean the short-lived US version that aired on NBC.

ah ok...I only ever got to see part of one episode of the US one...I was lucky enough to have one of the two stations that refused to show it as my local affiliate

I know it wasn't good (or it would have lasted more than 4 episodes), but it'd be nice to get a DVD of the show, including the unaired eps (supposedly one had Gina Bellman on it) Interestingly, when the UK second season came out on DVD here, they had a sticker on it "UK version of the hit NBC show" on it...thought that was funny, since when it actually hit the shelves, the NBC show had already been pulled.
