'Coupling' Too Spicy For Some U.S. Stations

The US version of BBC sitcom 'Coupling has been banned by two local stations because of its sexual content. The stations are in South Bend, Indiana and Salt Lake City, Utah and are affiliated with NBC.

NBC has remade the cult hit British comedy, about six friends, with the first episode to be shown on Thursday.

EL - the very brief previews I have seen of the American show seemed weak. NBC looks like it has generic California actors and you need good strong actors with distinct personalities and good chemistry to recreate my favorite British comedy. I really think an all black cast may have been better
