Summary: This show MUST be released on DVD
Review: It simply must. I don't care what else is on television, if there is a rerun of Mad About You on, it takes priority. It is simply the finest, most delightfully subtle, witty, profound, well-crafted piece of television history I have ever experienced. The DVDs would be worth it for the opening and closing tags alone, the show was THAT funny.And yet, the show was more than a sit com. There was more to these characters than a laugh track. Paul and Jamie, and all their friends, went through all kinds of life crises and issues - all presented credibly with honest emotional resonance. I cannot watch the sequence of episodes at the end of Season 4 where Paul and Jamie nearly break up without tears streaming down my face. Because these people are REAL. Helen Hunt deserved her Emmys, and Paul Reiser got shafted so many times in that department. (It is unfathomable to me that Kelsey Grammer is considered more talented - go figure!) This show is a must for any fan of 90's comedy. The show had heart and is so very quotable as to endear it to you for years to come! Please give us DVDs with lots of commentary from the cast so we can cherish this masterpiece forever!

Summary: A true classic of 1990's comedy
Review: The early years of Mad About You were some of the finest half-hour comedies around in the 1990's. It was refreshing to see a series about a young couple who were going through the early stages of a marriage, as opposed to so many series about well-established marriages. Paul (Paul Reiser) and Jamie (Helen Hunt) were two very well fleshed out characters that you could believe in, and more so when they went through all the little ups and downs a real life couple goes through. (i.e. buying a couch as a couple as opposed to as single people) And while not everything about the show was their realistic (the size of their apartment), you believed these really could be two real-life people. The fact you were watching a show about newlyweds though was reinforced even more by the other married couple on the show, Mark (Richard Kind) and Fran (Leila Kenzle). This was your established couple. The couple who had gotten over the initial romance of the first few years of marriage, had had a child, and were now dealing with how to keep their marriage still interesting. Without giving away to much about the first season though, their characters probably had the most significant character arc of the first season as they end up in a much different place in their lives at the end of the season. A contrast was also added for Jamie's seeming perfection in the form of her older sister, Lisa (Anne Elizabeth Ramsay). A serial dater with more perceived psychological problems than you could shake a stick at, she was almost like the Anti-Jamie. She was a great character, and luckily used in moderation. If used much more then she was, she could have quite quickly irritated the viewers. The first season was not all smooth waters though. The character of Paul's best friend, Selby (played by Tommy Hinkley) never seemed to mix correctly with the rest of the cast, or really fulfill any purpose. For some reason though, when they reinvented the "trouble making" character as Cousin Ira (John Pankow), it worked like a charm. I hate to blame Mr. Hinkley, but you have to wonder why it didn't work. While the show is top notch, the DVD presentation leaves something to desire. Non-existent extras is a notable flaw. At least some commentary tracks would have been nice. The most notable flaw though is the order of the episodes. While episode 2 being shown as episode 4 is somewhat forgivable, the reversal of episodes 21 and 22 is not. If you buy this set, make sure to flip the last two episodes, because as presented, the fake 21 references the fake 22 heavily. So again, make sure to watch 22 and THEN 21. While I give the show itself 5 stars, I can only give the DVD set three.

Summary: Cute and Entertaining
Review: Every time I sit through the opening titles of "Mad About You," I see the same credit pop up: "Created by Paul Reiser and Danny Jacobson."
It took two people. Two people. To get this concept: We have a guy. . .and a girl. . .and they're pretty newly married and they. . .live. . .in New York.
I just can't imagine how many sleepless nights Mr. Reiser and Mr. Jacobson spent locked in a room together before they hammered out the subtleties of that arrangement.
But I shouldn't criticize, because the truth is that many successful and entertaining sitcoms ("Friends," for one) aren't built upon stellar concepts so much as solid writing and comic delivery. So it is with "Mad About You," a show that, although probably not up for many "Funniest Show of the Century" awards, is a nice way to spend 23 minutes of your life.
The show is about Paul (Paul Reiser) and Jamie (Helen Hunt) Buchman, newlyweds who live in the City. Paul is a documentary filmmaker, which sometimes comes into play, and Jamie does something at a PR firm, which is really not important. They have friends, too: Mark and Fran, Jamie's sister Lisa and Paul's friend Selby who, somewhere near the middle of the first season, undergoes a strange metamorphasis and changes actors and becomes Paul's cousin Ira. There is nothing notably different about these two characters.
But, anyway. The cornerstone of the show is definitely Paul and Jamie's relationship. I'm amazed at how often their dynamic echoes that of me and my wife. Paul is wise-cracking and pretty laidback in an obsessive, neurotic sort of way; Jamie is more high-strung and worrisome, also in a neurotic sort of way. They make a cute couple.
And that's what the show has going for it. It's not spellbinding or anything and it's not hillarious. But it's fun. You may forget the episode you just watched immediately after turning off your television, but you will not feel like you just completely wasted the time. That's important. Something good to put on when eating a meal or feeding the little precious baby girl. That's what I do.
Highlights of this season are: "Out of the Past," in which Paul gets the chance to catch up with an old crush; "Sunday Times," in which the two decide they should go do something on Sunday, but can't seem to actually get out to do it; "Sofa's Choice," all about buying a couch. . .or love seat, really; "Token Friend," in which Paul encounters a bitter former film student who blames Paul for his life failures; "Maid About You," where Paul has a hard time letting a hired maid clean up the place without helping her; "The Apartment," in which Jamie wants Paul to end the lease on his old bachelor pad; "Love Among the Tiles," which sticks them inside a bathroom for the entire episode; and "Met Someone," my personal favorite, a charming flashback to when Paul and Jamie met.
Special guest stars is also the name of the game this season, especially on Disc 2. Michael Richards has a cameo as his "Seinfeld" character Kramer in "The Apartment"; "The Man Who Said Hello" centers on Regis Philbin; and "The Spy Girl Who Loved Me" stars Barbara Feldon as an Diana Rigg-type star.
These stars have varying degrees of success, but one disappointment was the episode "The Billionaire," starring Jerry Lewis. I know how the writers wrote this episode: "So, we found out that we can get Jerry Lewis." "Great! Let's write an episode for it." "Okay! Any ideas?" "No!" The episode is obsessed with using Mr. Lewis as much as possible, which is fine and great and it's nice to see him on screen. . .but the way in which they write him into the show is incredibly contrived. His storyline is never even wrapped up. He just blows in and out of Paul and Jamie's life like a hurricane. . .which might work but really, really doesn't.
All in all, however, it's a nice little set. And get it now if you're interested because they discontinued the hop to DVD for "Mad About You" after Season 2. But you can witness the beginning of a show that was one of NBC's most reliable comedies for years. It's worth a viewing.

Summary: Whoo-hoo
Review: Mad About You is one of my favorite romantic comedy relationship sitcoms and I think the first season is pretty good and has some teriffic episodes! Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt are both great as Paul and Jamie who at this point in the show have only been married about a year and this is definitely one of my favorite seasons and I recommend this show!
