Interesting everyday characters
tegeland15 October 2006
Cold feet is a definitely British and not American production, which for me means that every feature of it is not designed to please instantly: You don't get punchlines every 3 seconds. Nor do all actors have the standard plastic-surgery nose (the perfect one but often with a slightly phony-looking tip and/or nostrils). Cold feet displays a lot of different types, some less glamorous than others, but all the more realistic types.

Each episode can't be seen separately. It takes some episodes to learn about all the underlying plots. The characters and their stories are told with, if not depth, breadth enough to show detail and nuances which makes the recognition effect even greater. The main intrigues are related to relationship issues and value choices in often very humorous situations - but it is far from sitcom.

Hollywood's lame attempt to copy the British
piratealice8 January 2001
There is a reason why this show was cancelled. It was just another example of how American TV network executives try to copy shows that work in other countries because they can't think of an original idea on their own. Their attempt to turn this into an American show failed miserably. The original British version was better written and had better actors. This show worked in England, because they did it right! Hey, Hollywood, if you want to use shows from other countries here, just show them, don't re-make them! The Vicar of Dibley was a funny show, but it wouldn't be funny if we made it American would it?? NO! The only one who can be the Vicar is Dawn French. The real version of Cold Feet is being aired currently on BRAVO, tune in!

Uneven but has potential
gmharris26 October 1999
There are some really funny lines in Cold Feet. The problem is you see most of them in the ads (which is why I watched) The stuff in between feels like a way to get from joke to joke instead of a naturally flowing conversation that happens to be funny. Still, it is a new show and has potential to get better. Many of the situations are realistic and the case members are likable, especially David Sutcliffe as Adam. So the show has some growing to do, but don't write it off just yet.

American Cold Feet
marcos-ledezma4 September 2003
My God!. Can't americans stop ripping this wonderful "BRITISH" sitcom?. For God's sake! Be creative, do your own things! The original series are warm, funny, dramatic and very very human. It's made laugh and certainly cry... MarcoL Oslo, Norway

Rodeo Clowns
Raihnman4 October 1999
Hey guys, love your show. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the song "Rodeo Clowns" by G. Love and Special Sauce on your last show. A guy by the name of Jack Johnson wrote and also performed the song with G. Love.

Jack is a pro surfer, film-maker, song-writer, musician and overall nice guy. He is currently living in Santa Barbara.

G. Love and Special Sauce is a great band. Glad to see you use some of their music in your show.

Keep up the great shows. My wife and I look forward to a fun season with you.

Wonderful and getting better
skcmd30 October 1999
Friends moves into parenthood. Funny, insightful and sometimes moving exploration of three stages of relationships. Last night's episode with guest Peter Wingfield was the best yet. Adult humor can be very sexy. Hope it stays on the air long enough to build an audience. Doesn't sacrifice character to the quick laugh.

I LOVE "COLD FEET"!!!!!
Queeven2 October 1999
To be truthful, the only reason I started watching "Cold Feet" was because I'd heard Peter Wingfield was going to be in it. I braced myself for one of those mushy grown-up (I'm 14) series that I would suffer through only to see one of my favorite actors. That Friday night, I sat down to watch it, expecting the worst. Then the show started. I immediately loved it!

"Cold Feet" is really, really, really, really funny!

Not to mention: romantic without being mushy, grown-up without excluding everyone below age 25, and one of my favorite shows.

P.S. - I just saw the preview for the episode PW is going to be in. I can't wait!!!
