It Done for "Couplings" (Another Zucker Flop)

Add this to another Zucker comedy flop for NBC.

[My2Cents]

Mustn't See TV.

[cyborg]

It would not have worked. I've seen the original Coupling from England, and it's true English humor a little spiced up.

[Paul8148]

Well I hear the Tracy Morgan Show that NBC has is pretty good but they want to put it on Tuesdays nights. I like him on SNL but was over shallowed.

[Sunshine Sister]

Never saw it, but non-the-less, good.

[theDentist]

I saw maybe 15 seconds or so. Some woman saying she went through packages of batteries each week. Decided that was probably the highlight of that evening's episode, and switched elsewhere. No loss.

Does no one in the US networks here have an original idea? Why do all the new show ideas come from England?

[sarasota]

It's Hollywood's fault. They became too full of themselves and their "creativity". Now they're mining the international creativity fields. Their liberal brains have gone dry.

It gets worse: The show "Couplings" that flopped was made from an English show which was a remake of Friends. NBC copied itself. Oh boy.

[HitmanLV]

My taste in true English humor runs along Benny Hill & The Goodies, but what do I know?

[whereasandsoforth]

Wasn't this show suppose to be the breakout hit of the new season? Wasn't the pre-buzz on this one all about how innovative and funny-funny-funny it is? What happened? Was this on CBS?

(My bride watches ER every Thursday night she can. I don't even know where the networks are located on the DISH.)

[cyborg]

Good grief I used to watch Benny Hill... I agree. I also like Keeping Up Appearances.

[freedomson]

What about, 'Do, Shut Up' or, 'Shut your Gob.'

[cyborg]

Never heard of those! But I've heard people SAY shut your gob...LOL

[BadAndy]

Why not just show all different combinations of couples going at it in prime time. That's pretty much where they are headed. I think the networks are trying to put internet porn out of business.

[Guillermo]

And in response, NBC admitted the show wasn't "raunchy enough" and promises to be "closer to the edge" with next years new show.

[old-ager]

> What about, 'Do, Shut Up' or, 'Shut your Gob.'

Shut your cakehole!
Shut your festering gob, ya twit!

[HitmanLV]

Benny is a legend - an awesome comedic talent! I miss him very much!
