Mad About You

I miss this show. The characters were so real, even when they were clearly out of their minds. No one in real life could behave the way Lisa or even Ursula the waitress did, and yet they were accepted and well-loved characters. They veered off into too-serious territory near the end, but I remain a fan.





My favorite thing about the program was that it was so quotable. My whole family repeats random snippets without even really remembering where they came from: "This is new," "The vastness of my wrongness was staggering," "Okay, Tarragon Boy," "...never gonna happen, my friend,"...not so much," and "Dave the butcher," not to mention learning words such as dysphoric and obsequious, and never being able to hear the soundtrack to Pirates of Penzance the same way again. ;)
