Coupling – Lost
without the curly-headed weirdo.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Britcom Coupling, you’re missing a hell of a show. At least you were before Richard Coyle left.
The quick description would be that It’s like a naughtier, funnier Friends.
Unfortunately, now that Richard’s gone and Jeff is no longer on the programme, it’s turned into a bunch of whiney losers, well, whining at each other. That little “touch o’ insanity” has left the show.
Is it possible that Richard suddenly had a moment of revelation where he realized that fifty years from now he’ll be walking down the street, minding his own business, and some smartass will yell out, “Hey, Jeff! How’s your mum?!” at him?
I think he did.
I also think he’s shut that barn door well after the horse has gone. Which is a shame because he seems to have an awful lot of talent. Still, with those genius Jeff lines he has definitely secured his place in popular culture.
Jeff: I need breasts with brains. I dont mean individual brains, obviously… I mean, not a brain each. You know, I like intelligent women, but youve got to draw the line somewhere… I think breast brains would be over-egging the woman pudding.
Come back, Jeff!
