The Mad About You Collection (1992)

The Final Frontier

As a fan of the show this DVD boxset didn't disappoint. I know a lot of people are annoyed because they want every episode. However for me I am happy just having "the best" episodes to watch and relive the memories with.

To be honest this one is worth the price just for the final ever episode (The Final Frontier) which is on here in it's full uncut form and wish commentary from Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt. If you ask me the last ever episode was far and away the best. Funny, romantic and a real tear jerker. Like I said this one episode is worth the price of the boxset all the other great best of episodes and behind the scenes footage are just a bonus.

A Review From Someone Who Actually Owns the Product

I got this as a birthday present, because I am a big "MAY" fan. I thought, "Oh, wow! A 'best of' collection!!!" But the episodes are badly chosen, and only a few of my favorites are included. Also, so many are the ones Paul Reiser obviously thought were his best as auteur, so we are presented with way too many that are too fussy or too serious, including the three- (Lord help us) part episode where the Buchmans' marriage is put to the test (Gosh, don't we all want to watch all of THAT again?!!), and the "New Frontier in sitcoms? Not so much" episode where Paul and Jamie sit outside the bedroom door agonizing over whether or not to go in because the baby is crying.

I'd recommend buying sets for separate seasons and just watching the ones you want, unless you think Paul Reiser was the Orson Welles of the 1990s, as Reiser apparently does. (The box says he and Helen Hunt chose the episodes, but you know Helen picked maybe two.)

GREAT ENTERTAINMENT

Well, I bought this DVD cos I remember catching glimpses of the show in the nineties - and then thinking..."Hmm this is good" - and then I read an online interview with the great Jack Klugman who said "I like Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt. I think they're real and funny"....And they are....this is so watchable. The only reason I won't give this five stars is cos of the intro's to several episodes...Paul Reiser is Paul Reisers biggest fan. ...That alone bceomes tiresome on this DVD July 14, 2007
