What is the American version of coupling?

The American version of the British sitcom "Coupling" was a short-lived series that aired on NBC in 2003. It was adapted by the same creator, Steven Moffat, but produced for an American audience with a new cast including Colin Hanks, Sarah Chalke, and Josh Stamberg. The premise remained similar to the original, focusing on the romantic and sexual entanglements of three men and three women. However, the American version failed to capture the sharp wit, nuanced character development, and unique narrative style that made the British original so successful. Critics and audiences found it to be a pale imitation, often comparing it unfavorably to other popular sitcoms of the time like "Friends." Due to low ratings and lackluster reception, NBC cancelled the show after only one season consisting of nine episodes (though only four were aired before cancellation). It is generally considered a failed adaptation that highlights the difficulties of translating specific cultural humor across the Atlantic.
