Coupling

I am not sure how many of you have seen the sitcom, but I am going to talk about it. So my brother got the whole series with him and lured me into watching it. I watched the whole 30 episodes in 2 days; almost twice now.
The sitcom, for those who don't know it, is a sex/relationship oriented series. The first comparison that comes to mind is "Friends"; three girls, three boys and lots of sex talk. There is one exception though: you can't compare apples and oranges, and sure enough you can't compare intelligent with stupid. That is my opinion anyway. I heard there is an American version of Coupling to be available soon; another mimic of Brit programs. I am not very optimistic about it.
I thought I shall describe the characters too, and here they are.

Steve: (the equivalent of Ross of Friends, maybe) is the most reasonable guy in the sitcom. Have the most stable relationship (relatively) and is with Susan. Always finds himself in humiliating situations in which he has to explain himself with more humiliating reasoning. He means well, but usually gets misunderstood, and after all, he is a "bloke". But when pushed to extremes, he finds honesty and... "wisdom" if you can call it that.
Susan: (has no equivalent) is the most sensible of the girls, and the most close to a reality character. Very analytical, reads between the lines and is very witted and smart, relationship wise. She likes perfect relationships (like any female), but Steve is just a "bloke" (like any other male).
Patrick: (has no equivalent too) is self confident, when it comes to females (except for one failure). His "equipment" is his major asset, and as his ex phrases it "some men are born lucky, some are very lucky; Patrick is a 'tripod'". His thinking is very abstract and can't get any subtext. He is focused on dating any woman, sleep with her, make a video of her, and dump her.
Sally: (can be Monica) is self obsessed with eternal beauty, aging and bottom theories. She is not very fortunate in her relationships, and has tried to get Patrick to bed all along, on and off. She developed famous sayings about "body parts".
Jeff: (Joey's equivalent) is described by Steve as "strange and disturbing man" and a "pioneer of paranoia". He reacts based on impulses, and thus can't control himself. Those impulses, anyway, are basically sex-oriented. He gets nervous in front of women for no reason, and usually has to embarrass himself. He is unable to conduct a normal conversation without ruining it. Apparently he is also mother-phobic, and sex-obsessed.
His has weird theories such as: "unflushable", "the sock gap", "celebrity marriages", "melty man", nudity buffer", "captain subtext", "the giggle loop" and "the prickles, the blurts and the head-laugh".
Jane: (is Phoebe like) and is the most self centered, "blond-brained" (but in a brunette form). She has very abstracted thinking, and usually naive and irrelevant. Her theories are not any stranger than Jeff's.

And here are some of the jewel of the first episodes, some of which cannot be understood out of context.
-Jeff: the pause is like a whole third person in the conversation, just no saying much.
-Sally: spend the night with me means let's have sex, I'll cook means let's have sex and I'll cater.
-Susan: you can come and watch... in that order.
-Jeff: the sock gap, miss it and suddenly you are a naked man in socks
-Sally (to Patrick): what do you call people you go out with but don't sleep with?
Patrick: Men!!
-Sally: death is the argument for moisturizers.
-Susan: most marriage proposals are the result of more than average pause.
-Jeff: men are disgustoids in human form.
-Sally: a woman's breast is on a journey, her feet are the destination
-Steve (to Jeff): every morning I wake up glad I am not you
-Sally: bottoms are our natural enemies, they follow us all our life, right behind us, and constantly growing.
-Susan (on foreplay): men have the techniques of an affectionate dog, without the loyalty
-Sally: bottoms are our enemy; they flirt with men while we are looking away.

The summary: screw Friends, watch Coupling
