[nitpick] That 70s Show was about high school students; and Coupling was Steven Moffit’s semi-autobiographical account of how he met his wife (who might be his ex-wife by now) IOW nothing at all like Friends.

> [@anyrose](#): > > Coupling was Steven Moffit’s semi-autobiographical account of how he met his wife (who might be his ex-wife by now) IOW nothing at all like Friends. A sitcom about three men and three women hanging out together with an emphasis on relationship jokes. Steve = Ross. The grown-up character who started the series by coming off one relationship and spent the series looking to get together with another character. Jeff = Chandler. The funny guy who wasn’t that good with women. Patrick = Joey. The ladies man who’s not too smart. Jane = Phoebe. The ditzy woman who says crazy things. Sally and Susan = Monica and Rachel. The show swapped traits between these two characters. Now try to make similar connections between any of the other ten shows mentioned in this list. ---
