Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
The show is fast-paced, crackling, choreographed like a comedy ballet. [20 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
What elevates "Mad About You" is that it twists the reality of marriage in the '90s with restraint and wit. It is not going for the big laughs, or those based on insults, but rather for laughs of recognition. In that, it succeeds quite well. And it doesn't hurt that the two stars are charmers. [23 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
Natural, funny and brimming with romantic chemistry. [21 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
The cracking chemistry of Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt, a tremendous performance by Hunt, and an exceptional script for the pilot mark this as the best new sitcom of the season. [10 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
Reiser brings a gentle sense of the absurd to his strange but affectionate view of modern marriage. [23 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
Reiser and Hunt have great romantic chemistry. [13 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
Loaded with big laughs. [20 Sep 1992]

Season 2 Review:
It remains one of the more unique shows in primetime. [16 Sep 1993]

Season 1 Review:
Fairly adult in tone and the comedy is a little offbeat. [5 Sep 1992]
Jul 11, 2013
Season 1 Review:
It doesn't matter much that there's an assembly-line feel to these drop-in characters. The focus is on Reiser and Hunt, who make a merrily dysfunctional couple. [23 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
How mad you'll be for the slice-of-strife romantic comedy of Mad About You may depend on your tolerance for the young-ish and restless, verbally glib and urban-ly neurotic. [23 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
What's missing in Mad About You is... madness. Unlike Seinfeld, it lacks the loopy quality — an affinity for the absurd — that regularly enables Jerry and his wacky pals to transcend the mundane. Already, a pattern is emerging in Mad: The best episodes are the ones in which Paul's whining finickiness annoys not only us viewers but Jamie as well.

Season 1 Review:
As in "Seinfeld" and the routines of countless stand-up comedians, nothing much happens in "Mad About You." ... At the very least, Mr. Reiser and Ms. Hunt get the chemistry just right.[23 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
"Mad About You" isn't devoid of humor, but it's pretty lackluster after "Seinfeld." [16 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
Helen Hunt's bright and flinty performance makes Jamie the kind of person one might like to get to know; she's spontaneous and fresh. But hangdog comic Paul Reiser... is tiresome and mechanical as Paul, and his stand-up comedy rhythms are monotonous. [23 Sep 1992]
Jul 11, 2013
Season 1 Review:
Initially sleek and stylish but empty. [23 Sep 1992]
Jul 11, 2013
Season 1 Review:
Overbearing ... Reiser and Hunt can't seem to resist going even broader than the already wide material requires. And though some humor does occasionally result, overall they take things too far, turning comic possibilities into missed opportunities. [23 Sep 1992]
