本剧集是BBC2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜剧，创意和编剧均由StevenMoffat一人担当。三男三女的主要人物构成很容易使人联想到当时正走红（其实已经在走下坡路）的《Friends》，因此很有不少根本没看过本剧的媒体人士和评论家想当然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人物表演、喜剧元素的设计和表现等诸多方面所达到的水平，要比《Friends》高几个档次。相比之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余”水平的好作品而已。当然总体来说，英剧的水准本身就高于美剧，这和英剧注意保持创意、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧的创意一般也就为最初几集编剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编剧根据最初的角色设定来自由发挥，编剧队伍的构成也是不断变化，老的走新的来，造成美剧情节连贯性差甚至前后矛盾，故事往往缺乏深度，人物性格平面化，缺少发展。这都是题外话了。《Coupling》的主要人物包括优柔寡断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫逆之交、举止语言古怪、总也找不到女友的Jeff，头脑简单、外表性感的“donkey”Patrick三位对Porn、特别是lesbianporn非常热中的男士，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感作武器的Jane，Steve的继任女友、Jeff的同事、曾经非常“不羁”（包括和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆、对衰老和肥胖极度敏感的美容师Sally三位女士。在第一集中，Steve决定“再次”和女友Jane分手，结果却被Jane三言两语引诱到洗手间亲热；Patrick想把和Susan的关系再进一步，却被告知根本不存在什么“关系”；Susan在洗手间碰到匆忙出来买Durex的Steve，向他表示好感，两人订下约会以后Steve钻进隔间继续……。本剧的主线包括Steve和Susan之间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇过程中的种种意外以及后来和上司发展出来的一段关系，Patrick和Sally之间若有若无到若即若离再到情深难舍的感情发展，还有Jane在事业和异性关系中的各种奇事，等等。本剧在情节设计中所达到的精致和完美程度让人叹为观止，而六位当时并不算大明星的青年演员的所展现精湛演技更是具有顶尖演员的水平，无怪乎播出之后立刻走红大洋两岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC网站可以领略到其受欢迎的程度。2002年底，第3季播毕，故事情节基本告一段落。美国NBC看到这部“英国版《Friends》”在英美两地均广受欢迎，觉得正好可以搬来做2004年终于要关张的《Friends》的接班人，于是2003年大张旗鼓地决定翻拍美版《Coupling》。美国的fans本来以为这是件好事，没想到NBC的翻拍愚蠢地采用了全台词照搬的方法，虽然个人没看过，不过也可以想象到有多恶心，结果只播出一集Pilot就因为骂声太大而整个计划搁浅（这点上美国佬是值得学习的，不象中国有些搞影视的骂声越大越要上）。在这里http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/可以看到这个计划的尸体，还有一些彻底走了味儿的剧照。2003年底，本剧获得英国喜剧奖（BCA）最佳电视喜剧奖。BBC已经在2004年正式开拍并播出第4季，不过Jeff这个人物将不再出现，而代之以新角色——经营Sci-Fi书店的Oliver，由RichardMylan扮演。从已经播出的几集来看，应该说在更换主要角色之一的背景下，基本保持了前3季的水准，但是同时也流露出对前3季中成功情节进行拷贝的迹象，希望这仅仅是偶然。Two’scompany,three’sacrowd...sowhatdoyoudowithsix?Onaverage,menandwomenthinkaboutsexeverysixseconds.Shortenthattoeverysecond,andyou’vegotCoupling.It’smorethanjustaonenightstand!Whenacouplegetstogether,it’sneverjustthetwoofthem-theyalsobringbaggage-andSusan(SarahAlexander)andSteve(JackDavenport)arenoexception.Theirbaggageisacrowdofbestfriendsandexeswhotalkaboutallaspectsofsexandrelationshipsontheirnever-endingquesttofindtruelove.Perhaps,perhaps,perhaps...SusanWalkerisabeautifulgo-getterwithanuninhibitedattitudewhousedtodatePatrickMaitland(BenMiles),thesextet’scharismatic,cockyplayer,London’skingofconquests-aguywho’sjusttoocooltoworryaboutbeingsmart.AttractiveSallyHarper(KateIsitt)isabeautytherapistwhoisSusan’sunashamedlyvainbestfriend,whoaggressivelybattlesagingwithheavydosesofmoisturizerandmen-includingPatrick.Meanwhile,SteveTaylor,whilegettingtogetherwithSusan,can’tseemtoshakeloosefromhisvivaciousandslightlyvacuousex-girlfriendJaneChristie(GinaBellman),awomansupremelyconfidentinherabilitytoseduceanyoneofeithersex,andwhorefusestobedumpedunlessshe’stheonedoingthedumping.JeffMurdoch(RichardCoyle)isSteve’s"pornbuddy"whois,inequalparts,obsessedandbewilderedbyactualsex;charminginhisway,butwithanuncannyabilitytosaythewrongthingattheworstpossibletime.HeworksinthesameofficeasSusan,withwhomhehadadisastrousandunsuccessfulone-nightfling.CouplinghasbeenhonouredwiththeprestigiousSilverRoseofMontreux,BestTVComedyAward,andisrecentwinneratthe2003BritishComedyAwards.Withanewguyonthescene,ababyontheway,commitmentintheair,andloveonthehorizon,thedynamicsofthesixfriendsaredefinitelychanging.AttheendoflastseasonSusanandStevediscoveredtheywerepregnant(well,mostlySusan),confirmedbachelorPatrickandSallyfinallyadmittedtheirtruefeelingsforeachother,andpoorJanewasleftonherown,onceagain.Butit’snotalldoomandgloomforJane.Asthenewseasonopens,thingsarelookingup.There’sthisguycalledOliver,whohashiseyeonher.IsitpossiblethatlifetimeloserinloveOlivermightjustgetsomewherewithlifetimeloserinloveJane?Troubleis,hisapartmentisalittle"un-edited"andhislivingroomhaslostthebattlewithmagazinenudity...SusanandStevearenowwellandtrulyanitem.Sowhyishedreamingaboutbeingexecutedbyafetuswithanaxe?MeanwhileSallyandPatrickaresettlingintotheirnewrelationship.Butsincethedawnoftime,menandwomenhavebeenfallinginlove-andmenhavebeentryingtogethomestraightafterwards.CanfallenplayboyPatrickeverfindhiswaybackfromtheenchantedgladeofhisonetrueloveandgetadecentnight’ssleep?

《辛普森一家》是美国福克斯广播公司的一部动画情景喜剧，由马特·格勒宁创作。该剧通过展现霍默、玛琦、巴特、莉萨和玛吉一家五口的生活，讽刺性地勾勒出了居住在美国心脏地带人们的生活方式。空间设定于虚构小镇春田镇的《辛普森一家》，从许多角度对美国的文化与社会、人的条件和电视本身进行了幽默的嘲讽。为了给制片人詹姆斯·L·布鲁克斯制作一出动画短剧，马特·格勒宁构思出了辛普森一家人的形象。格勒宁用自己家族成员的名字逐一地给他们命名，而自己的名字则用“巴特”替代。1987年4月19日，短剧成为了《特蕾西·厄尔曼秀》的一部分。在播映三季后，《辛普森一家》得以转正进入半小时的黄金时段，并成为了福克斯在早期达成的成功之一。自1989年12月17日的首次播出开始，《辛普森一家》已播出了20季，共441集。2007年5月20日播出的第18季末集，是这部动画的第400集；同时，2007年亦是该剧播出的20周年纪念。于2007年7月26日和7月27日在全球上映的《辛普森一家大电影》，至今已获得约5.253亿美元的票房收入。第20季已于2008年9月28日开始播出。从作为一部电视剧制播以来，《辛普森一家》赢取了大量的奖项；其中包括24次艾美奖、26次安妮奖和1次皮博迪奖。1999年12月31日期的《时代》杂志将其评为20世纪最优秀的电视剧作；2000年1月14日，《辛普森一家》的星星被刻在了好莱坞星光大道上。作为美国历史上最长寿的情景喜剧及动画节目，《辛普森一家》对流行文化产生了极大的影响：譬如霍默·辛普森懊恼时的咕哝声“D’oh!”便被英语词典所收录；同时此剧亦对许多面向成人的动画情景喜剧产生了影响。辛普森一家，是居住在美国“心脏地带”式小镇春田镇的一个典型家庭。[46]家中的父亲霍默担任着春田镇核电站的安全检查员——这个职位与他粗心、弄臣式的个性显得很不相称。他的妻子玛琦·辛普森，是一位典型的美国式主妇和母亲。他们有着三个孩子：十岁的大儿子巴特是一个麻烦制造者；八岁早熟的女儿莉萨是一位积极行动主义者；小女儿玛吉是一个几乎不会说话，只能用吸橡皮奶嘴进行交流的婴儿。这家人养有一条名叫圣诞老人小助手的狗，以及一只名叫雪球二世的猫。两只宠物都曾在几集动画中充当中心角色。尽管度过了许多次节日或生日这样的年度重要事件，辛普森一家人都没有因为真实岁月的流逝而逐渐老去，其面貌与他们在1980年代末露面时并无二样。《辛普森一家》有许多乖僻的次要角色：同事、老师、亲朋好友、地方名人。格勒宁起初只是打算让这些角色出现一次，让他们充当笑料制造者，或用来填补小镇需要的一些功能。不过，大部分的这些角色后来都被保留了下来，其形象也得到扩充，甚至不少角色在后来还成为了几集动画的中心人物。据马特·格勒宁所说，动画采用了喜剧节目《第二城市电视台》（SCTV）中使用大量配角制作节目的概念。(摘自Wikipedia)TheSimpsonsisananimatedsitcomaboutthemodernfamily.ItisFOX’smostsuccessfulTVshowtodate.Itstartedasaone-minutefillerontheTraceyUllmanShowbutsoonevolvedintoAmerica’sfavoritecomedy.TheSimpsonsfocusesonafamilyoffive.Thereisthefather,Homer,adull-witted,alcoholic,lazy,butlovableman.Heoftengetshisfamilyintocrazysituationsbutalwaysmanagestofixthings.Themother,Marge,isastayathomemomwhokeepsthefamilytogether.Sheistheidealwifeandmotherthoughshecanbealittlenaiveattimes.Shealwaysdoeswhatshethinksisbestforherfamily.NextisBart,the10yearoldboywholivesonplayingpranks.Hegetsintoalotoftroublebutisgenerallyagoodkid.Nextistheneglectedmiddlechild,Lisa.Lisaisthebrainofthefamilyandsometimesfeelsleftoutbecauseofthat.Sheisanoutcastatschoolbecauseofhertalent.FinallythereisMaggiethebaby.Thoughshedoesn’tsaymuchsheiswellknownespeciallyforherredpacifier.Nowthelongest-runningcomedyintelevisionhistory,THESIMPSONSimmediatelystruckachordwithviewersacrossthecountryasitpokedfunofitselfandeverythinginitswake.Withitssubversivehumoranddelightfulwit,theserieshasmadeanindelibleimprintonAmericanpopculture,andthefamilymembershavebecometelevisionicons.January14,2009kickedoff"Best.20Years.Ever.,"ayear-longglobal20thanniversarycelebrationofallthingsSIMPSONS.TheyearwillconcludeonJanuary14,2010andwillfeatureTHESIMPSONS20THANNIVERSARYSPECIAL–IN3-D!ONICE!,producedanddirectedbyAcademyAward-nominatedfilmmakerMorganSpurlock("SuperSizeMe,""30Days").Inthespecial,SpurlockwillexaminetheculturalphenomenonofTHESIMPSONSinhisdistinctiveandinnovativestyle.Thecriticallypraisedserieshasbeenbestowedwithnumeroushonors,includingrecentlyreceivingfiveEmmynominationsforthe2008-2009season.Overthecourseoftheirtwo-decaderun,THESIMPSONShavewon24EmmyAwards:12forOutstandingVoice-OverPerformance,10forOutstandingAnimatedProgramandtwoforOutstandingOriginalMainTitleThemeMusic.THESIMPSONSisaGracieFilmsproductioninassociationwith20thCenturyFoxTelevision.JamesL.Brooks,MattGroeningandAlJeanaretheexecutiveproducers.FilmRoman,aStarzMediacompany,istheanimationhouse.MikeB.Andersonservesasthesupervisinganimationdirector.
