America's version of Coupling is on in 15 minutes. I'm praying to the supreme being for atheists that it doesn't suck total dead eggs.

EDIT: Well, it sucks half a basket of dead eggs. Maybe two thirds. It's not a total loss in that the main girl (who used to be played by a blond) doesn't annoy me, and the main guy (who used to be played by Commadore Norrington from PotC who should be playing Arthur Dent) doesn't annoy me --in fact those two could even be funny if they grew into their roles--- and that the Asian girl playing what-her-name doesn't really annoy me (at least outside the way her character is supposed to be annoying.) However, Sally and Patrik (only names I seem to be able to remember), are both terribly unfunny. However, even they are not the worst thing. No. The worst, most sacriligous thing, is the Jeff. The Jeff is... RUINED! It's awful. He's not dorky-cute, he's just dorky. He's not weird and eccentric and incomprehensible, he's just a mook. I think mook is the word. You know, like those stupid obnoxious guys that always get picked out of the auidence on MTV? Anyway, THE JEFF!!! ::cries:: I miss the curly hair.

All the actors are overacting their lines, especially the Jeff. The "porn-buddy" conversation was supposed to be at voice level or below, not nearly yelled. Some of the actors will get better, some not. Right now, they all seem too self-conscious.

I'm unsure what mook refers to exactly, although I have heard it used a few times. Myself, I'd vote for "tool" because that's what I think when I see the MTV guys.
