all here for the revival. Anne Ramsey is set to rejoin the cast for the forthcoming Spectrum revival; she played Lisa, the older sister to Helen Hunt’s Jamie, in the original series. Additionally, fellow franchise vet Jerry Adler — aka building super Mr. Wicker — will guest-star in the premiere. As previously reported, the 12-episode revival will air on Spectrum in two equal parts, with the first six episodes bowing Wednesday, Nov. 20, and the final six dropping on Wednesday, Dec. 18. The new episodes will find Paul (Paul Reiser) and Jamie adjusting to their new life as empty-nesters after dropping their “unpredictable, hard-to-control” grown-up daughter Mabel (Black Mirror‘s Abby Quinn) off at college.

I can't think of anything I want to watch less than this show.

Why was this show such a big hit? The premise, a yuppie straight couple who engage in "witty" banter and make out all the time always seemed so......I don't know. Boring? Douchey?

It’s fashionable to bash Mad About You now, and to downplay Helen Hunt’s winning streak at the Emmys. But it was a well-done, funny sitcom. It was actually my favorite show for much of its run.

What the fuck is Spectrum?

It used to be Time Warner. And who the fuck asked for this?

Thanks, OP for not just including the important bit of that title and making people click on some shitty link.
I'll do everyone the solid you wouldn't.... the person who won't return is Lisa Kudrow.
You're welcome.

r6 Actually, it used to be Charter, a cable company which bought Time Warrner's cable operations and renamed the new, combined company (Charter and TW) Spectrum.

I couldn't understand the popularity of this show. It was so awful, unwatchable, boring, and unfunny. WTF???? I'd rather see a reboot of Solid Gold with the original dancers, hobbling around with their arthritic feet, toupees, and dad bods!!!!

The Saved by the Bell and even the Punky Brewster reboots have more people looking forward to see it again than this show does.
It's hard to believe it lasted for 7 seasons. It finished at #11 in the ratings for it's third seasons, but all the others ranked anywhere from #24 to #85.

Is Spectrum a free channel or a subscription service?

It's always comforting to see how badly others have aged, or how bad their expensive work is. But you don't need a whole series when a made for TV movie would do.

I think Spectrum is its own company, like Optimum or Verizon. I have optimum and I don't think I'd watch it even if it pops on on YT or Amazon. Seeing those people all old now will be depressing. Even worse to see them with freak faces if they've had surgery to try to look younger. I don't want to see Hunt with her eyebrows up around her hairline.

Compare it to the shit that passes for sitcoms now. It was well done.

I guess it was pleasant enough. But I seem to recall it had a very good time slot, too.

I liked the original until the last couple of year. It seems most shows stay about 2 or 3 years longer than they should instead of going off in their prime. I have no desire to see them again, as elderly people. Why don't they just leave us with pleasant memories.

I want to see it, don't have Spectrum, it's like that Clenn Close show that was only on Direct TV.

The crew on Mad about You used to call HH "Helen Cunt"
Didn't Paul and Jamie get divorced in the final episodes? Sounds like they are jettisoning that storyline

I enjoyed the first four seasons or so. Always found Paul Reiser sexy back then. But the description of the daughter turns me right off.

I watched it when it originally aired, mainly due to its time slot the first four seasons. I’m not sure I followed it to Tuesday nights or ever watched reruns.
