Mad About You

I love this show. They are the cutest couple on earth. I want to steal their dog, Murray. I'm sure that dog is dead by now, though. Mad About You started airing in 1992, so he's got to be either dead or decrepit. He looks like a giant corgi. I love corgis.

When I was home-schooling and could sleep all day if I wanted to, I always stayed up late to watch the two episodes they showed on Lifetime in the middle of the night. That and Designing Women are the only reason I have EVER watched Lifetime. Their whiny made for TV movies are the bane of my existence

I always wanted to have a relationship just like Paul and Jamie's. Only the early years. Before they had that kid. They're best friends and have adorable fights about absolutely nothing. It's the only show I've ever watched that makes marriage look wonderful. In most shows marriages range from tragically laughable to disastrous. But the Buchmans are their own self-sufficient little world. They have friends and jobs but are happiest to be sitting at home playing a board game with their dog.

They probably seem so happy because they're an incredibly witty sitcom couple, but you know, I can dream.
