Mad About You

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.

Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser were paid $1 million per episode for the last season (with their contracts calling for them to be paid equally). However, ratings fell sharply that year as the series was shuffled away from its Tuesday slot to prop up a fledgling Monday night line-up of comedies on NBC.

   Pointless facts:
   -there were tie-ins between this show and Seinfeld (comments about how Paul sublet his old apartment to a stand-up comedian, and was glad to get away from the insane neighbor across the hall) and also Friends (Lisa Kudrow played a spacy waitress and also her identical twin sister)

   And a collie named Murray. We got a purebred rough coat collie after our previous dog died, and because of the show, we named him Murray!
