I was never blown away by Spaced either but looking back you can see the seeds of a great partnership in those episodes. This will probably end up like the U.S. version of Coupling. Then again the American version of The Office turned out just fine.

As for "Spaced", I saw the first six eps of it, back when one of those all-the-TV-in-the-Cosmos-in-one-convenient-location sites had it, and I wasn't really moved by it. A little uneven on the humor, sort of a mish-mash. It could've been better, not something I say that often about Brit TV. > > "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
