You've seen the commercials all summer and fall, if you're a Spectrum Cable subscriber.
Now, it's back.
20 years after ending its run on NBC, Mad About You continues the story of Paul & Jamie Buchman (Paul Reiser & Helen Hunt), whose daughter, Mabel, is now headed off to college, but, in the opener, her parents are finding out how difficult it is to deal with their child leaving the nest.
Here's a trailer:
Paul Reiser & Helen Hunt double as executive producers, along with Peter Tolan (Rake, Rescue Me, The Job), and the trio collaborated on the script for the opener, directed by Hunt. Much of the supporting cast from the earlier series, including Richard Kind (recently on Gotham), return as well, helping create a seamless transition from then to now.
Rating: B.
I really hope they retcon the divorce storyline and that Jeannine Garafolo isn't the adult personification of Mabel.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that Murphy Brown's revival isn't coming back (wasting most of its run on Orange Man Bad! storylines ) and Will & Grace revival is faultering (Debra Messing being a pill with co-star Meg Mullally), I am curious if this show is a bit too little too late - or an act of desperation? Or both?
Garafolo is not involved in this series. Neither is Hank Azaria. Yet.
ReplyDeleteConsidering Hank Azaria is Helen Hunt's ex, he may never be.
ReplyDeleteUh-huh, and there's The Simpsons & Brockmire to consider.....
