[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 131160, member: 73"] [SIZE=5]Some of the [B]American[/B] ones I also like (and liked) a lot: [/SIZE] [B]Mad About You[/B] The show about Paul and Jamie and their dog Murrey living in NY, getting into little newly wed couple spats and having issues with cousin Ira and other friends and family. And then having a child. It was cozy rather than laugh-out-loud funny, and very very few of those lessons you were supposed to learn after watching an episode of certain sitcoms. You know, where someone has a serious moment at the end that gets resolved and the fake audience goes "aaaawww". Mad About You also did some very good crossovers with other sitcoms. Ursula Buffey (Lisa Kudrow), Phoebe's twin sister from Friends for example. Plus, Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser had good chemistry. I hope they pick the show up again, as rumor has it.
