- US Coupling -

Great. Another US rip-off.

But, as much as I despise US re-interpretations of foreign shows, the new Coupling US stars are drastically better looking than the UK version, which pimps it up a bit. And considering it's late night TV, I'm not complaining.

Some other examples such as UK's Queer As Folk being blatantly overtaken by the US version. I liked the QAF UK much better than the US version, and again the US one is so much more erotic... which I'm sure not many people complained except parents. I secretly enjoyed the UK version back when I was in high school back in New Zealand, but they axed it after about 6 episodes, probably due to scathing complaints.

And how about The Ring. The Japanese do horror films so much better than the US. Seriously. All the US box-office type public can appreciate is sudden shock with jolting music. I admit, the US Ring was pretty scary -- it scared the wits out of a girl friend of mine. But I have to say I enjoyed the Japanese version so much better simply as the creepiness stayed with me for weeks. Watch it.

Anyways, Coupling US is on channel 10, every Tuesday at 11:45pm.

P.S. I would normally put an image up for The Ring, but it creeps me out...:S
