Mad About You fans watched Paul and Jamie Buchman navigate married life for five seasons until they decided to add a baby to the mix. The arrival of Mabel Buchman didn’t exactly signal the end of the series, but Paul and Jamie navigated life together as a couple for much longer than they did as a family of three. There was a good reason for that. The team behind Mad About You feared the arrival of a baby would doom the series.
‘Mad About You’ co-creators Paul Reiser and Danny Jacobson thought a baby would end the series
Paul Reiser and Danny Jacobson created Mad About You together. They pitched the project as a series about how couples behave when it is just the two of them, far away from the prying eyes of friends, family, and the public. All along, the show was supposed to be about Paul and Jamie.

Before Paul Reiser met with James Cameron for the role of Burke in "Aliens," he had to find a proper pair of pants.
Reiser was no babe in the Hollywood woods when Cameron came calling in the mid-1980s. He'd earned raves for his portrayal of the menschy Modell in "Diner," and stole a scene from Eddie Murphy as Detective Jeffrey Friedman in "Beverly Hills Cop" ("This is not my locker!"). He was also one of the most promising young stand-up comics in a loaded class that included Jerry Seinfeld, Sam Kinison, and Roseanne Barr.
And yet, because he was moving into his first house with his then-girlfriend Paula Ravets, he was sans appropriate pants for a big-time Hollywood meeting. Spoiler: he rifled through the moving truck, found pants, and took the meeting. This led to him reading the script, which led to him realizing he was about to be a part of something monumental.
