I loved the original BBC series. I'm surprised this one will return.

The BBC version is much better. This is just like NBC's lame attempt to remake Coupling.

Coupling was itself a BBC take on Friends.

Why?
This show's a bomb.. stinker...
The BBC version is likely funny, but this rendition is just bad.
To: mnehrling
It is a little lame. But not as lame as "Scrubs"

What little I saw of the BBC series was smarmily good.

Coupling was a great show! (Even though it was a friends rip off... It was a heck of a lot more funny!)

--Probably returning for 1: it's NBC, 2: there's lots of us that it's the only channel we get as we don't have cable LOL.
I can't imagine anyone with more channels to choose from actually staying on that channel long enuff.

We bought the entire DVD collection. Some episodes I have seen countless times. I find new things to laugh at each time- the series is that good.

No, actually Friends was taking BBC Coupling and toning it down for US TV...
To: RushCrush
Agreed. The BBC program was outstanding. The NBC version is pretty lame, IMO.

I agree... The boss in the NBC show just doesn't have it... Actually, the boss on the NBC show is very annoying, and in an unfunny way.
