Coupling

Now that spring break has arrived, I've finally had time to watch Coupling , the sex/dating situation comedy from the BBC. Although I normally dislike sitcoms and dismiss them as "contrived", I really like Coupling. Of course, the situations in Coupling are contrived, but they are also hilarious. Often times the gags build, so that after you've seen the obvious gag coming, there are two or three more gags that you weren't expecting.

Jeff: "I mean, where exactly do you take your socks off? My advice is to take them off right after your shoes, and before your trousers. That’s the sock gap. Miss it, and suddenly you’re a naked man in socks. No self-respecting woman will ever let a naked man in socks do the squelchy with her."

I'm on a BBC kick lately. First The Office , now Coupling.
