An ominous un-’Coupling’?
NBC is taking its highly touted comedy “Coupling” off its schedule for two weeks in what could be an ominous sign about its future.
The comedy, an American version of a British hit about six sexually active friends, will be replaced tonight by a rerun of “Whoopi.” “Coupling” will return Oct. 23, but on Oct. 30, the first Thursday of the November ratings “sweeps,” an expanded version of “Will & Grace” will air.
Last week, “Coupling” was seen by 10.7 million people, ranking No. 37 for the week in Nielsen Media Research’s rankings.
