Mad About You

First Aired in 1992

From Paul Reiser and Danny Jacobson comes a long-running hit half-hour show Mad About You!

Jaime (Helen Hunt) and Paul Buchman (Paul Reiser) are young urban couple with five months of marriage behind them and they're still trying to make some ground rules of living together in an apartment in Manhattan. That is definitely not easy because Jamie & Paul are equally neurotic - but on totally different ways.

Paul is a documentary filmmaker, he is charming and creative, but also extremely careful and analytic. Jaime is more free person, with free spirit, but as a expert for public relations in everyday fight for a space she also has a number of discomforts. Jaime's sister Lisa Stemple (Anne Ramsay) often comes to visit them, just like their friends Mark Devanow (Richard Kind), his wife Fran (Leila Kenzle) and Paul's cousin Ira Buchman (John Pankow). But, they aren't the only ones that visit them. There are always all kinds of other characters like noisy neighbours, funny dogwalker, family members and others.

With a big part of personal intimacy, which Paul Reiser, the head character and the creator of the show, compares to "a ride home after a party, when a couple can finally tell each other what have they been thinking all night", the 30-minute show searches for capricious moments of every couple. Their co-creator of the show, Danny Jacobson, adds that "they wanted to set a mirror to marriage life and see how is the world behind the closed doors".
