After three seasons of releases for Mad About You, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has sold the DVD rights for Mad About You to Shout! Factory. What does this mean for you? Only good news: You likely won’t have to wait 4 years in between releases, what IS released is likely to be in top-flight VQ and there are even bonus features!
In the show’s pivotal fourth season, Paul has found a job as a full-time documentary filmmaker at the Explorer Channel, while Jamie has opened a new PR Firm with her longtime friend Fran (Leila Kenzle). It’s a busy time in the Buchmans’ lives, and it’s about to get even crazier when they decide to start a family.
Despite a frustrating series of false alarms, the couple is determined to do whatever it takes to conceive, including virtually nonstop sex and absolutely horrible herbal remedies! The obstacles don’t stop there as they face everything from Paul’s sudden unemployment to their respective brushes with marital infidelity, and as the pressure on their marriage increases, their relationship begins to unravel.
One of the things I always loved about this show was that even though it was a traditional multi-camera comedy, the show had no bones whatsoever about recurring plot lines and multi-episode plot arcs, and actual bona fide continuity within the show. In a genre sometimes defined as a series of dozens of interchangeable episodes, a show with even some semblance of a plot theme is always welcome.
