Mad About You - The Complete First Season Reviews:
Mad About MPI Home Video 
2008-06-16 - Sony Pictures, selling Mad About You to MPI Home Video would be a perfect idea for the fans, who have waited 7 years to collect all 7 Seasons of the series on DVD. Please do not say no to my suggestion. MPI Home Video will be willing to re-release the first 3 seasons, and release the 4 remaining seasons with no problems. Please sell Mad About You to MPI Home Video!
Boring formula 
2008-06-05 - A formulaic comedy without much happening. The male lead becomes less irritating but remains two-dimensional after the first 12 or so episodes. Helen Hunt is fun to watch, even if she isn't given much to do. All the other characters are so two-dimensional they're almost one-diensional.
Show with a good heart and a good nature
2008-02-24 - Seinfeld is often lauded as THE sitcom of its time. I beg to differ. MAD ABOUT YOU has a smart touch without being smart-aleck. It also has some absolutely perfect scripts that are comedy classics -- as well as some amazing performances by comic greats like Sid Ceasar. The show never loses respect for the people who inhabit it. Quirky characters? Vain? Silly? Absurd? Yes to all that. But the characters also have an intelligence and a moral center that I find missing in Seinfeld. Actually, I think Seinfeld (both the man and his show) has helped to increase the rudeness index in our culture by quite a bit. Under Seinfeld's spell many now find it perfectly acceptable to diminish others with smugness and lofty superiority. Contempt for others is NOT funny. In MAD ABOUT YOU one finds no artificial niceness, no vapid sentimentality, but the real warmth of real people who, in spite of their conflicts, love and respect each other.
Mad about this show!
2007-12-02 - Mad About You is a lovely sitcom unusual in that the couple in question are sharp, smart, and love each other. Whatever humor that comes out of the two disagreeing is never mean, and you always find yourself laughing WITH them. I could sit down and watch the entire season without stopping, but I'm doling it out one at a time to make it last. There are 3 released seasons. I'm hoping the get the rest out soon.
What a pleasure
2007-11-04 - Forget about the extras or the comments about quality. This is one of the most underrated sitcoms of all time. The writing is brilliant and the casting is perfect. The codedic timing between Paul and Helen Hunt is perfect. The supporting cast is hysterical, especially Richard Kind whose nervousness and timing is also brilliant. After watching season 1, I am reminded of what a great show this was. I hope they release all of the seasons.
