Sizzle of NBC�s �Coupling� Fizzles

It seems like it was only a few weeks ago when NBC�s �Coupling� was making headlines over it�s racy content and NBC was hoping for a major hit to replace the retiring �Friends� on their Thursday night lineup. Wait, it was only a few weeks ago. 

Seems a lot has changed at NBC as they have bumped the show from its timeslot this week and replaced it with the new sit-com �Whoopi�. 

NBC has not indicated when the show would return if at all. But their faith must have dwindled if they decided to bump the show after just 3 weeks from a much coveted time-slot (between the hits Will & Grace and ER). 

The show aided by the controversy over its �racy� content drew in 15.3 million viewers when it debuted three weeks ago, but the ratings have dropped significantly since then. Last week�s episode was watched by 10.7 million viewers.  .
