1. Useless and terrible, not funny
Edited on Sat Jan-15-05 04:32 AM by LibInTexas
And, I must say my British wife says, "Turn it off," when it pops up on late night PBS.

3. My wife or the show?
She disdains the bad Brit shows, and gets embarrassed when some (like this) come on.

4. I was talking about you Mr. LibInTexas.
Yes, it's an over-the-top show. It's an acquired taste, and I acquired a taste for it. I love a good and loud laugh. Can't be worse than The Lounge, eh? :)

6. Acquired?
I'm not sure how I could ever acquire that one.

It's like a lot of things, different strokes etc.

If you like it, so be it. To me, it just looks stupid.

Give me Coupling anytime.

Now, pardon me -- I need to find the lounge.

9. To you, I guess so...
but to us, it just looks stupid.

I'm not going to defend how we feel, or expect you to defend how you do, it's that sometimes things are funny to some and not to others.

It's what makes the world "go round".

10. i found it hilarious and loved the show.
just as i like 'keeping up appearances.'

i've yet to see 'coupling,' but i could never get into 'eastenders,' bored me to tears.

11. Ah, I like Patricia Routledge and Keeping Up Appearances
and her detective series (it doesn't show too often here, though).

Coupling = Friends (me thinks).

12. is it like friends? ewww...
been there, done that, for over 10 years now isn't it? why on earth watch it all over again. even if they spin it with more sex or a reality tv feel (double eww), why watch the same old tired routine. give it about a decades rest before it's resurrected. i'd still try to watch it, but now i'm not so interested in finding out what's it about.

14. I watched it in high school
I thought that it was hilarious. I was constantly laughing. There are few television shows or even movies that do that for me.
