In its fifth season, this [Mad About You] premiere is one of its best. Plakson, who is a recurring character, should give the show a much-needed dose of humor in a year that will center on Jamie's pregnancy.
[Mad About You] started out a sitcom about a couple of snappy yuppies, but five years into the marriage, Paul and Jamie Buchman are often dreary company, all attitude and jabber.
Uneasy laughs accompany an uneasy birth. Still, the Mad About You season finale is a more blessed event than the competing Roseanne series finale. Having your teeth cleaned is more fun than the Conners' farewell.
