Anyone on this board actually a fan?


Just asking - lots of people calling it crap. Wondering if anyone who comes here is actually a fan like me.

I really liked this show back in the day because the leads were so appealing,and the show was so funny. I always thought it was better and funnier than Friends---I've never gotten why that show was so damn popular. I was in the demographic for Friends but I just could never muster up enough interest in it.

Interestingly enough,when the names of classic '90s shows are brought up,Mad About You's title doesn't come up much. The same goes for other shows of that period I really liked,such as Caroline In The City, News Radio,The Awful Truth,Ned and Stacey,Wings, The Steve Harvey Show,Moesha, Picket Fences, Living Single,In The House, and a number of others. I honestly didn't recall Mad About You being on that long,probably because I watched the first couple of years of it, then lost track of it after finding other shows I liked.

You're long gone, unless you've found MovieChat and reincarnated here. But, to answer your question, I am. Loved the show back when it aired. Loved the back-and-forth dialogue between the two, and who wouldn't love Murray?

I watched this show when it aired, I watched it again a few years ago. I'm not a fan. It's a good show. But I find it to be a little sullen and moody. Kind of a downer.

I was a fan of watching a young Helen Hunt

reply

I liked it enough when it started but as the show progressed it seemed that Hunt's character really disliked her husband. I remember it becoming really obvious and then they added baby Mabel and it killed it for me.

I liked watching young HH though.

I used to like it, but I only watched the first few seasons, and didn't stick with it to the end of its run. Lost interest.

I have kind of a love/hate relationship with this show. The show's premise at the beginning was a good idea: a childless couple dealing with the trials/tribulations of marriage/career in a big city. But the show was let down by:

1) trying too hard to be hip or "edgy".
2) too many family members no one cared about (occasionally saved by celeb casting).
3) cringe-worthy sub-"Seinfeld"/"Friends" slapstick humor that was never funny.
