But only seasons 1-3, at least for me.When Jeff got replaced with
that..guy, I couldn't watch it anymore.I now watch reruns on several TV stations here, and it is as 
awesome as always :)
Difference between 'Coupling' and 'Friends' is that characters
in 'Coupling' are actual, likable, human beings. 
IMHO.

A friend recommended this to me.I watched all 3 seasons over the weekend.It is incredible :)
Anyone know when/if the new season comes out?

Again, one of my favorites.First season is currently running here, and I've already watched it on
BBC Prime a while back, but it is so good that I'm watching it again.
Is 'Ashes to Ashes' any good?

> What are you fav Brit shows?

I grew up watching Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses.
Dr.Who will always taste like chocolate cake to me, because my mother made me one on 
Sundays when Dr.Who was on TV :)
Recently, The Blackadder, Mr.Bean, The Thin Blue Line(one of the most underrated shows on TV),
Kumars at No.42, The Office(which freaks out some of my friends accustomed to sitcoms with
laughing track), and of course, currently *the* best show on Earth, Top Gear :).
