favourite 'sitcoms'

I love that whole group of incestuous comedies featuring the same people, such as Spaced, Black Books, LoG etc.
Also: Arrested Development.
Really there are so many though I don't know where to start!

--- Quote from: Inlander ---Plus, once Jeff left didn't they just try to put in a Jeff substitute? Didn't they introduce a character who was exactly like Jeff, only lame and annoying because it was such an obviously desperate ploy on behalf of the show's producers or writers or whoever?
Ehh, the first season of that show was very entertaining. It was downhill after that, as far as I'm concerned.
--- End quote ---
yarrr they put that Oliver character in there. Who totally pissed me off, cause he was such a moron. I mean... Jeff was a moron, but... it was Jeff! Blah.
Anypiddle, yeah, it slowly went downhill, but the first two seasons still were fantastic.
I've never seen the American version, but I hear they destroyed it pretty good.
KharBevNor:
I hear the American version was like a shite friends with 0.1% more sex jokes. Instead of half hour slices of cleverly plotted innuendo and Jeff advancing his theories on the sock gap or the zone. And, let us not forget, his utterly immortal attempt to chat up a woman who did not speak English.
"Not that you look like a serial killer or anything!"
But Richard Coyle, who plays Jeff, is just a great actor. I've seen him on the stage in The York Realist, and he was smokin', totally different role as well. Him and Jack Davenport were the main axis of talent in the series, though none of the actors were bad. Davenport really needs to be in more stuff: he was totally ace in Fierce Creatures (which I think was his first film) and Ultraviolet, and seems to be back on the big screen with Pirtates of the Caribbean.
It could never have worked without Jeff though, tbh.
thehoopiestfrood:
I still think Jack Davenport would have made a perfect Arthur Dent in the film (not that Martin Freeman was bad).
I saw Coyle in some scary murder film - I don't know the name but it was very good.
The last series of Coupling was pretty awful, especially the ending with the baby, but I have to say I did enjoy Jeff coming back as a woman just for the strangeness of it.
patch:
