I suppose Coupling has similar traits like a Ford fiesta has four wheels and a Lotus Elise has 4 wheels. Both freinds and Coupling have 6 main charachters 3 pretty girls 3 blokes and its about relationships.

It also shows the big difference between US and UK shows. The US will flog their series to the death until all humour and surprise vanished four seasons ago but still they soldier on as its not about the show anymore, its not even funny its all about he highly paid cast who have become their own soap opera. UK shows are fleeting shooting stars their stay is brief but very memorable and they know when the time to go is when the audience are craving more and more. Look at Coupling, The Office, Extras, Fawlty Towers, Game On. You remember them for their brilliance. Friends WAS Good for the first few seasons but sadly its remembered for going on too long and not for its humour
I couldn't see this on Friends
