Selby of "Mad About You"
Played by Tommy Hinkley


The writers must’ve worried that a sitcom about happy newlyweds could get a little stale, so in Season 1, they gave Paul a swinging single pal named Selby, played by Tommy Hinkley.

But he clashed with the show’s cozy Noo Yawk aesthetic (and with the producers, allegedly), and so Selby was gone before the freshman season ended. Guess you do lose touch with your old friends once you get married.

Good riddance to Selby, he didn't add anything to the show. Having Ira replace him was a brilliant move.

I like Ira ! He's funny. I just recently started to watch this on Rewind TV. I haven't seen Mad about you since it was on first run ! ;)
