premise, and same characters.  Calling it a version of Coupling is a
travesty.

I saw one episode, which happened to be a rip on an episode of the
British show I'd seen (the one with the gift-wrapped dildo, if you

version so wonderful had been so watered down and Americanized that it
might as well have been an episode of Friends.
