Mad About You Trivia Questions
1. Who played the two primary characters on "Mad About You"?

From Quiz "Mad About You"

Answer: Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser

Both stars won several awards for this quirky comedy series, Helen Hunt racking up four Emmys four years in a row for 'Outstanding Lead Actress- Comedy Series'. In fact, many of their one time and recurring guest stars won as well. The show itself had five Emmy nominations, and won a Genesis Award, Peabody Award and Golden Globe Award. Viewers for Quality television chose "Mad About You" as 'Best Quality Comedy'. The series concentrates on the married lives of Paul and Jamie Buchman, two people who are mad about each other but have personality conflicts and sometimes opposing views and takes on situations. Paul is a documentary film maker, and Jamie is in public relations. Most of their conflicts are handled with caring and light hearted repartee, but there's the occasional Big Problem that requires more time and effort.
