Summary: I recomend it
Review: After reading all the reviews written by other's here on Amazon.com, I decided to go ahead and buy this item anyways. I loved watching the reruns of "Mad About You" and was excited to find out that the episodes were on DVD. I bought it and started watching it instantly; careful to make sure that all the drawbacks some customers had pointed out weren't enough to make the viewing experience unbearable.
So here's my two cents:
1) Some had warned that the DVD lacked an episodes menu so you could choose which ones you wanted to see and in what order. Surprising enough mine had one of these little menus, but the episodes were still in a different order than in the one they were originally aired.
2) There were also some complaints about disappointing picture quality, that the picture was grainy and looked old. My experience was completely different because I thought that the picture looked fine and it was of good quality, no grainy appearance unless you squinted or stood so close to the TV that you could actually make out the pixels.
3) There was one interesting review were the person thought that the picture was compressed well I don't think it was and my TV is larger than 9". Still I don't think that the average person has a huge 61" TV; so if you are and average person with a normal sized TV don't worry about it looking compressed.
To sum it up, the item is fairly prized you get 22 episodes of a wonderful show for under 30 bucks and if by some reason I bought a re-issued item with all those little quirks others complained about fixed then you know that you will get good quality and if you really enjoy "Mad About You" then go ahead and make the purchase I'm sure you won't be disappointed (well only if you were expecting a different show and bought the wrong DVD, hehehe)

Summary: The Show was Bad enough
Review: This DVD is an expample of unchecked greed , and half formed talents. Fortunately helen Hunt managed to break out of this rut.
The show was a waste of time , the DVD a waste of time, and money.

Summary: Mad About You-The complete first season
Review: Loved it. Can't wait for the rest of the seasons to come out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great show! Finally on DVD!!![.]
Review: "Mad About You" is really great. I'm glad that's it's finally on DVD. Season 2 is even better than Season 1! I just wish they would put some extras on the DVDs. I'm sure there are funny outtakes or behind the scenes things that they could use.

BUY THIS DVD SO THEY CONTINUE MAKING EACH SEASON! IF IT DOESN'T SELL WELL, AND THEY STOP MAKING THEM, IT'LL BE YOUR FAULT!!

Summary: Excellent show, very poor DVD
Review: If you're reading this, you've already made up your mind about the content. (I can't imagine anyone buying series television sight-unseen.) All that is left is to warn you about the presentation: They jammed 11 episodes (about 5 hours) onto each of two disks and, consequently, they compressed the heck out of it. Compression artifacts buzz about people's faces like a gnat swarm. If you have a 9-inch TV, it'll look great. On my 61" home-theatre set-up, it's awful. Worst ever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mad About You-The First Season
Review: I've been a huge fan of Mad About You for a long time so I was really excited when the first season came out. However, the first season wasn't the best season ever, which is understandable because it's the first year and everyone's still getting used to each other. But overall it wasn't that bad and it's not going to make me dislike the show. I'm still a huge fan and watch it faithfully on tv. I recommend this for anyone who likes to laugh.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great for Couples of All Ages
Review: My boyfriend and I watched this whole season together and loved it. Most of the time we were laughing because it was so easy to see ourselves and our relationship in that of Paul & Jaime. This collection can spark some conversation and let us see that some things really aren't a big deal.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Did you notice?
Review: For diehard fans of the show, you will have noticed this, but for the others who bought it, or plan on buying it, please note: The last two episodes in this collection are out of order. "Happy Anniversary" (for obvious reasons) is the last episode of the season. I'm surprised it wasn't caught before it was released, but maybe it makes these copies collectors' items...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow, I miss this show
Review: This was proably one of my favorite shows, and I've missed it since it went off the air. Thankfully, they decided to release them on DVD.

I disagree with some other reviewers that they are disappointed to not have any special features. Honestly, how often - if at all - do you look at the special features on your other DVDs? I say just give me the show and keep the cost down. I don't need the fancy packaging or the behind-the-scenes when the price is this reasonable. Honestly, I probably would not have purchased this at a higher price, and I'm so glad I did. I started watching this show in the early years of my engagement and marriage. It was the ideal to me - I've had fun looking back and realizing both how naive I was, and how much of the show I appreciate more now.

Don't be expecting anything but the 22 episodes from the first season, and you won't be disappointed. Otherwise, it's as good as you remember.
