Stolen script

I will write about class in a moment. It was a great day.

Remember this post about the new NBC midseason replacement, "Committed?" I noticed the show had a certain rhythm to it that made me think about the BBC show Coupling. Tonight the script was STOLEN straight from Coupling.

A woman in a new relationship shows up naked to her new beau's apartment without warning. Being male and not having been in a relationship in a while, his apartment needed some cleaning, to say the least.

Coupling focused more on the piles of pornography. Committed focused more on the mass quantity of stuff.

Whatever happened to original television?

Committed
THE APARTMENT EPISODE
2005-01-11

LOST IN LOVE--After several months of dating, Marni (Jennifer Finnigan) realizes she has never set foot in Nate's (Josh Cooke) apartment. Marni invites herself over to his place and Nate, in a state of panic over his crazy, pack-rat apartment, decides to turn off all the lights so she can't see the mess. Marni's curiosity over what Nate is hiding gets the best of her, so she breaks in the next day with Tess (Tammy Lynn Michaels). Elsewhere, Bowie (Darius McCrary) discovers the true meaning of the Chinese symbol that he had tattooed on his arm. Tom Poston also stars.

The Naked Living Room

Is it possible that life-time loser in love Oliver might just get somewhere with life-time loser in love Jane? Trouble is, how can you win the heart of a good woman, when your flat is a little 'un-edited', and your living room has lost the battle with magazine nudity?
