Mad About You is an
American sitcom that aired on
NBC from
September 23,
1992, to
May 24,
1999. The show starred
Paul Reiser and
Helen Hunt as a newly
married couple in
New York City. Reiser played Paul Buchman, a
documentary film maker. Hunt played Jamie Stemple Buchman, a
public relations specialist. Near the end of the show's run, the couple had a baby daughter, whom they named Mabel.
The series focused mainly on the newlyweds while they dealt with everything from humorous daily minutiae to major struggles. The show's willingness to find comedy in realistic situations and observational dialogue garnered it comparisons to
Seinfeld, another NBC comedy about thirty-somethings in New York City.
