- TV SERIES
- Mad About You: Season 1 is released. Jamie (Helen Hunt) and Paul Buchman (Paul Reiser) are a young urban couple with five months of marriage behind them and they're still trying to make some ground rules of living together in an apartment in Manhattan. This is definitely not easy because Jamie & Paul are both equally neurotic - but in totally different ways. Paul is a documentary filmmaker, he is charming and creative, but also extremely careful and analytic. Jaime works as a public relations consultant, and is more of a free spirit, but also has a number of discomforts. Jaime's sister Lisa Stemple (Anne Ramsay) often comes to visit them, just like their friends Mark Devanow (Richard Kind), his wife Fran (Leila Kenzle) and Paul's cousin Ira Buchman (John Pankow). But, they aren't the only ones dropping by the apartment - there are always all kinds of other characters like noisy neighbours, a funny dogwalker (Hank Azaria), family members and others.With a big part of personal intimacy, which Paul Reiser, the head character and the creator of the show, compares to "a ride home after a party, when a couple can finally tell each other what have they been thinking all night", the 30-minute show searches for capricious moments of every couple. Their co-creator of the show, Danny Jacobson, adds that "they wanted to set a mirror to marriage life and see how the world is behind closed doors".Awards and Nominations:GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS:> 1998 - Nominated - Best Performance by an Actor in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Paul Reiser]> 1998 - Nominated - Best Performance by an Actress in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Helen Hunt]> 1997 - Won! - Best Performance by an Actress in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Helen Hunt]> 1997 - Nominated - Best Performance by an Actor in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Paul Reiser]> 1997 - Nominated - Best TV-Series Comedy/Musical> 1996 - Nominated - Best Performance by an Actress in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Helen Hunt]> 1996 - Nominated - Best Performance by an Actor in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Paul Reiser]> 1996 - Nominated - Best TV-Series Comedy/Musical> 1995 - Won! - Best Performance by an Actress in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Helen Hunt]> 1995 - Nominated - Best Performance by an Actor in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Paul Reiser]> 1995 - Won! - Best TV-Series Comedy/Musical> 1994 - Won! - Best Performance by an Actress in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Helen Hunt]> 1993 - Nominated - Best Performance by an Actress in a TV-Series Comedy/Musical [Helen Hunt]EMMY AWARDS:> 1999 - Won! - Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series [Mel Brooks] (For playing "Uncle Phil Buchman".
