The American Coupling -- Tonight.

'Coupling' Reaches America with Brit Accent Intact

There are few clues in the new NBC sitcom "Coupling" premiering
Thursday night to tell you that the show is virtually a carbon copy,
word for word, line for line, of one of Britain's most popular
sitcoms
.

Perhaps the biggest difference between the initial U.S episodes and
its British version is the time difference. Eight minutes had to be
chopped off the original scripts to fit American network commercial
time.
