For those who have watched both, which was the better comedy?
(and NOT the US version of Coupling. but the UK version)

I had never heard of Coupling.Watched it on YouTube, and was not impressed with the characters. They didn't pull me in enough to make me want to watch. So I would say US Friends is the better comedy.

I, on the other hand, actually prefer Coupling, as, IMHO, is was actually very realistic and very witty, whereas Friends tended to be very juvenile and very outlandish.

I'm a big fan of British shows, but on this one I'll have to go with Friends.

I don't dislike Friends at all. Just think Coupling was more surprising, which is what I (sometimes) look for.
