Article: Make new friends with BBC's sexy `Coupling'.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)

Byline: Terry Lawson

Rumor has it the British television hit "Coupling" is soon to be Americanized, which could ease the pain of those mourning the impending demise of "Friends" and "Sex in the City." Still, it's unlikely that any U.S. network version of "Coupling," a comedy about the tangled romantic lives of attractive young neurotics, would retain the sly wit of the original, not to mention the sexy situations still limited to cable on this side of the pond.

So those who do not have access to BBC America can now see the real thing via "Coupling _ The First Season" (3 stars, BBC Home Video, $24.98), which compiles all six episodes on one disc.
