Keen Eddie!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I can't believe you people haven't mentioned 'Keen Eddie'!
It was a Sitcom-dram! It had some of the best thinly-vield humor on network TV!
It's supposed to be on BRAVO and coming to DVD in early 2004.
I'll want to buy a copy of THAT set...

'Keen Eddie' on FOX and 'Lucky' on FX were two of the best Comedy/Drama/DV Shaky-Cam shows of 2003!
BTW, If 'Lucky' would have survived, I would have liked to see the Bobby Blaine character return a few times.

Another show that should have returned after 2001 had to be 'Going to California'. It was quirky and every episode seemed like one of those weird Sundance short subjects.

I liked "Keen Eddie" too.

Although it was a "summer show," it was pretty entertaining. I wish FOX had let it run longer.

I'm a native of the Ned and Stacey/Wings boards and I don't really get around these forums.
Can you tell me what all the fuss over Coupling is about?
About a year ago while watching AbFab on BBC America, I saw ads for the original Coupling, which was part of the Friday night Grham Norton (AAAH! I can't spell it!) line-up, they compared it with Sex and the City and I said, "Another Sex Sitcom about already developed (as in NO character development whatsoever), sex-starved characters? UGH! Whatever happened to creativity!?"
I'm sick of shows about characters having sex or being starved of sex or people playing with corpses or being in the mafia or being in freakshows. HBO is to blame, they suck and they've taken over TV's creative process along with MTV.
Trendmakers...
The only pay-tv show worth watching is Queer as Folk. Just because of Hal Sparks. Just because of I Love the 80s.

Actually "Coupling" isn't a bad show. The BBC version was much better than the NBC remake.

If I ever see the original on, I might watch it. British humor is more sophisticated then it is in US shows.
Maybe they're actually making fun of sex.
Ned Dorsey was never sex-starved on "Ned and Stacey" (well, except for that time he wanted to sleep with the female Rabbi). He was a womanizer... he got more ass than a toilet.
Okay, I may say different about Brian and Joe on "Wings", they were sex-starved but they came to a revolation in the episode 'Bye, Bye Bunny'. "The 70s. Sensitive male. Okay to cry. The 80s. Making money, no crying! The 90s. No money, no sex, nothing to do but cry."
