Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt thought long and
hard about whether to do a reboot of “Mad
About You,” the NBC sitcom staple of the ’90s set
solidly inside the Buchman family bubble.
“We had 20 years of lunches where we said,
‘Absolutely never, ever.’ It was the worst idea,”
recalled Hunt, who played Jamie Buchman to
Reiser’s Paul.
Reiser added during a recent interview: “It was
a joke.”
Time hop to Wednesday and the debut of the
“Mad About You” redux on Spectrum Originals,
a limited series available exclusively to the
telecommunications conglomerate’s on-
demand subscribers.
