Let’s be honest, folks—there’s something undeniably heartwarming about the return of a classic show. The reboot of Mad About You is not just bringing back the laughter but also reuniting two of TV’s most iconic characters. And as it turns out, the chemistry between Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt hasn’t skipped a beat, even after all these years.
Reuniting After All These Years
Paul Reiser recently opened up to People about the seamless reunion with his on-screen wife, Helen Hunt. He described the transition back into their roles as if no time had passed at all. “It really took no transition at all,” Paul explained with a chuckle. “We were all so fond of each other, and we spent seven years together. The minute we walked into that space, it felt so familiar. It was actually kind of weird that it didn’t feel weird!”
A Fresh Take on Familiar Ground
While the original Mad About You is undeniably a nostalgic trip down memory lane, the reboot offers a fresh perspective. “The premise of the show lends itself to being shot over time,” Helen shared, reflecting on the evolution of the series. “It’s a nice luxury to get to do an arc of these characters over the years.”

Paul added, “And there’s nothing topical about the show. It’s about people, then and now. That doesn’t go out of fashion.” Clearly, the essence of the show remains rooted in the timeless themes of love, family, and the quirks of modern relationships.
The Magic of Marriage
At the heart of Mad About You is the relationship between Helen and Paul’s characters. They portray a married couple who lean on each other to navigate life’s ups and downs. Sure, they might drive each other crazy at times, but they know that they have each other’s backs no matter what.
“It’s a Monday through Friday life,” Paul elaborated. “You sit down with a fresh script on Monday and then you perform it for an audience on Friday. I wasn’t aware of how much I missed that. It was refreshing and surprising.”
