paul dam Found this show on Channel 4 and got into it right away. The writing is very sharp and the characters are perfectly cast. It is the best observational comedy that I have seen this decade, maybe ever.The episodes are all very strong and the characters so likable that it seems like the writes don't even need to give their characters lines. The characters simply generate comedy. Julia has given me 2 out of my all time top five 'laughter' moments in television history. Rex, Vance, and Dave all have amazing moments. Leigh is very amusing. The one minor criticism that I find when watching the show is that Amy doesn't seem to be very likable. However, I have often found that a show needs one character that isn't entirely likable for the show to work.I can't believe it was cancelled mid season as I felt that the characters were so strong that the show could run and run. So thank you to the writers, the actors, and anyone else involved in the making of the show for creating a comedy that has truly made my wife and I love TV again!

gschecher2 like the guy under me, I also signed up for an IMDb account just so i could put review up about this show. Perfect Couples is one of the best shows that has come out in a while. It fit in perfectly with the NBC Thursday night line up, despite the fact that it competed against some very good shows (Parks & Rec., 30 Rock, Community), which are also among my favorite shows. When I found out that Perfect Couples was canceled, I couldn't believe it. And then when i saw the shows they replaced it with... The Paul Reiser Show? Whitney? Those shows are so shitty i can't even think of a clever insult for them. They are just terrible. Seriously. But I think we should organize and petition NBC to get this show back on the air and back into my Thursday nights. Second?

grapesmuggler I confirm what others have said and just wanted to reinforce what others have already wrote in hopes that someone from NBC actually cares what people think about their shows. Perfect Couples was the best new show I watched this past season and I thought it fit perfectly into the Thursday night comedy block, well The Office, Community, Parks & Rec, and 30 Rock anyway. The episodes got better and better each week. This show was like Friends on crack. How people didn't think this show was hilarious makes me fear for what is to come next in sitcoms. The writing and acting killed it and makes the other couple shows that popped up this past season look second rate. Best of luck to the actors and writers, I'll never forget these original characters. Great move with the P. Reiser experiment NBC...that worked well. CW should pass you in the ratings in another year with decisions like this.

jim-laymon I don't usually get attached to a sitcom (unless it is Seinfeld), but I can say that Perfect Couples was really an extraordinary show. The writing, acting, and editing were all Perfect. Kyle Bornheimer, who was also on Worst Week (which I liked as well) was terrific. This is one of those shows that, even if the ratings weren't great, they should hold onto because it will catch on. Weren't Cheers and Dick Van Dyke Show like that too?The show was a very funny and smart show about relationships. Anyone who has been in a long term relationship can relate to it. The plot lines were realistic with simple twists that brought out the humor in all the characters. I loved it.This is really a loss for TV and shows how some executives are able to do their own colonoscopy.
