Lurching from one disaster to the next.
On Coupling, for instance...
You'll be able to make a proper comparison in the very near future, since the pilot of the Amercian version of Coupling was shot last October according to IMDb.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

One of the reasons why I chose it. (Another is that it's extremely funny, of course.) Is it showing in Australia?

billytea ... The ABC is showing the original version on Thursday nights but I've only seen a couple of episodes. I never got really into it b/c it reminded me of Cold Feet -- which I did not like at all -- and so I've never given it a proper chance. No doubt some commercial station will get the US version but it remains to be seen if it gets a primetime slot or not, since those morons at 7 screened Titus at 5AM and now have Normal, Ohio on at that time.

Excellent. It is a bit like Cold Feet, though not as schmoopy. (But then, I liked Cold Feet.) Anyway, I can now back up my "You must see this" with an actual date and time. Thanks.

I'll give Coupling another chance. It was up against Scrubs but now 7 have moved that show to Sunday night and replaced it with Joe Millionairheads.

I swear, that show's like Drano to the matted hairballs of quality television.
Yes, I know it should be the other way around. All analogies break down sooner or later, and I'm on a schedule here.
