I have no problem admitting that I have a gutter sense of humor, but the problem with the show was that it just isn't funny.

You have hit the nail on the head.

Never made my radar screen anyway. Although I saw the tv guide channel promo and recognized an actree from The World Chronicle.

I heard an editor for tv guide on one of my regular talkshows. He does a weekly 40 minutes. All the callers were dumping on
all the shows. He said the network types are blaming baseball for the absymal numbers, not the product.

Right. The Clintonian lies just do fly the way they used to. Can't recall if the editor had already received ABCBSNBC
talking points for the post-series hole.

I missed the new-show death pool hour, but Whoopi and Ripa are probably high on the consumers' choice list.

Yeah the first two really stunk the third episode was ok with the laughing thing but It drop huge in the ratings. Atleast the Iran dude on Whoppie is good for a laugh.

It really isn't funny at all. Characters are not very likeable. I watched it for 15 minutes and wondered what all the hoopla was about.

I agree. The main problem with the show is that is was not funny.

The British version is hilarious. I tried to watch the American version. Not funny at all. I'll go back to watching the BBC version.

amen to that,

I absolutely love the british Coupling on BBC. its the only reason I ever watch PBS/BBC. Coupling is by far one of the funniest/well written shows to grace TV.

The americanized version is absolute crap. it simply sucks ass.

Rena sofer is fanfingtastic though.
