‘Coupling’ Yanked

Coupling pulled by NBC.

NBC has pulled Coupling from its 9.30pm slot on Thursday night and replaced it with a repeat of another of its new shows, Whoopi Goldberg sitcom Whoopi.

Perhaps more ominously, NBC has also announced it will be resting Coupling for “sweeps” month in November, when TV advertising rates for the next quarter are set and the US networks try to maximise ratings with scheduling stunts and specials.

It’s not gone yet, but it’s on its way.  I must say that it gives me a little faith that Americans actually managed a tiny bit of tasts and didn’t flock to this show.  Like I said before, “even Americans have a limit to the crap they’ll watch.”
