As someone that has never seen an episode of the original, I find NBC's "Coupling" to be a pretty good show. I'll keep watching.

Speaking of which... B.A.hist, here is a little background on this show. The cast was ORIGINALLY rounded out with Breckin Meyer as Jeff, Melissa George as Jane and Emily Rutherford as Sally. They only filmed the pilot before swapping out HALF the cast. So a lot of the timing/acting problems could simply be that these folks don't know how to work together yet. Sigh - I think Meyer would have been a great Jeff too.

) landed Threat Matrix, which is preachy, but far and away better than this show. Breckin Meyer would have been good as Jeff, but I think he is the new Jon Cryer of TV, plus he has his own show coming out on FOX (I believe) which probably won't last long either.

After the next episode, switch immediately over to BBC America to see the original version. I'd be interested to hear the reaction from someone who's never seen the original and likes the US version.
