Is anyone else tired of ths US nicking great Brit comedy?

Having been a longtime fan of "Coupling" (the original and better Brit version), I rolled my eyes when I'd heard NBC announce they setup an American version of this show for their fall lineup. The actors/actresses are awful, none of whom can make their lines sound believeable. They all sound as if they're reading straight from the script. Just as "Men Behaving Badly" was a smash hit in Britain, but failed miserabley here, I predict "Coupling" USA will pretty much follow the same path. Boo. Get digital cable and watch the Brit "Coupling" instead. Season 1 is available on DVD (around $25) and well worth the money. Skip the hideous American version.
