Don't know about you, but tired of hurricane stuff. Anyhow here's a photo of the sunset outside my window tonight:






Hopefully that worked.

After watching Dexter S5 finale, the first two episodes of the Showtime comedy "Episodes" was on, it reminded me a lot of the film The TV Set, except not as funny and as series. Or what it must have been like when Steven Moffat tried to bring his hit UK series Coupling to the US. Not amusing enough to continue with.

If you managed to watch two episodes without vomiting, it was not as bad as CouplingUSA.

Clarification: Episodes is about a British husband and wife writing team who attempt to export their Popular British Comedy Series to the US. Their series is about a British Headmaster and a bunch of students. They've found Julian Bond to recreate the role. But Bond doesn't "test" well for the network.
So Matt Le Blanc is chosen, and the show is changed to be about a Hockey Coach at a boys school...

So, what I meant was - what it must have been like for Stephen Moffat and his wife, when they attempted to export their popular (and far funnier than Friends or HIMYM in my opinion, YMMV), British series Coupling to the US. The network in short ruined it.

Episodes is basically a comedy about that.
