The show is fast-paced, crackling, choreographed like a comedy ballet. [20 Sep 1992]

What elevates "Mad About You" is that it twists the reality of marriage in the '90s with restraint and wit. It is not going for the big laughs, or those based on insults, but rather for laughs of recognition. In that, it succeeds quite well. And it doesn't hurt that the two stars are charmers. [23 Sep 1992]

The scope is a little cramped but the writing is wonderfully droll.

Fairly adult in tone and the comedy is a little offbeat. [5 Sep 1992]

Helen Hunt's bright and flinty performance makes Jamie the kind of person one might like to get to know; she's spontaneous and fresh. But hangdog comic Paul Reiser... is tiresome and mechanical as Paul, and his stand-up comedy rhythms are monotonous. [23 Sep 1992]

Initially sleek and stylish but empty. [23 Sep 1992]
