I couldn't find a mad about you group so I thought someone in this group might watch it and be able to answer my question.

What show did the lead actor play in previous to mad about you?

He looks kinda familiar.

thanx netters.

Ghosh DebashisJeffrey Seymour

The lead actor in "Mad about You" is Paul Reiser. He is also a standup comedian and used to star in a sitcom, "My Two Dads," with Stacy Keanan (sic?) and Greg Evigan. I think that this was one of the best comedies on TV (next to Seinfeld, of course).

Does anyone know where I can write to Paul Reiser or c/o Mad About You?

I believe Paul also played in _Alien 3_ He was the guy from "the company" that came to tell Ripley all the bad news... He was a real bad guy in this movie!

[Paul Reiser]

Yes, he was Jeffrey in both Beverly Hills Cop movies.

But this is alt.tv._seinfeld_... :-)

As a new Seinfeld watcher (recent graduate who now actually has _time_ to watch tv...), the FAQ has proved quite informative: thanks to the maintainer and contributors!

Wasn't it the guy who used to be on Lou Grant? I have a vague memory of this--but I may have my Aliens mixed up (2 and 3).

Are you sure? I seem to also recall Paul Reiser being in an Aliens movie. Not sure which one though. ***************************************************************** Gwynn Severt - NASA Lewis Research Center "There's a fine line between love and hate and I'm walking with Wesson on my shoes."

You're right. Paul Reiser was in Aliens(Part 2 of the series) as the man from the company. Part 3 of Aliens, was the one where everyone was bald. =)

Jason SnellBowden Wise

It was _Aliens_ he was in. Which led to a good joke in the next-to-last episode of this season, when he was asked: "You ever seen those Alien movies?"

Paul: "Only the first one."

Good joke. Now, back to Jerry, who, when we left him, was wandering alone through the Scottish moops...

Uh, moors.

I know I'm being picky and I won't be the only one...

It was "Aliens" (the second movie, not the third)...

I always liked what Ripley said to him when they all found out about his scheme with the alien creatures.

Now, is Mad About You going to remain in its Saturday time slot in the fall or is NBC moving it back to Thursdays?

And is there a way I can somehow avoid everyone's killfiles? I mean, my messages don't seem to go anywhere, and I do try to contribute to the discussion.

oh well.

It's moving to Thursdays. I seem to remember the line up was something like this: 8:00 Mad About You 8:30 Wings 9:00 Seinfeld 9:30 Frasier

I'm sure you're not in everyone's kill file. You're not in mine. Not every article is suitable for following up. If you really want to see how many people are reading your article, post something about abortion, religion, Home Improvement, why Kramer is the worst character ever to cross a screen, or anything at all about Simon E. Booth.

I think the name of that show was "My Two Dads".

On one episode Fran's husband was complaining about his midlife crises and asked Paul if he had every seen the Aliens movies. Paul said that he only saw the first. (That was a inside joke because he was the company man in Aliens that almost got Ripley killed.)

Stephan MarceauJeffrey Seymour

I just heard on the radio today that Seinfeld (who is 39 I think) is dating someone who is 17! Isn't that illegal you say? Maybe, it'll probably be in the next National Enquirer!

Just thought it was funny!

Wow! I wonder how long it takes for this same news to get to Europe, if it only took 2 months for it to get to Canada! Jez....

I recently read where these two aren't an item anymore. Perhaps they reason they broke up, was because somehow Jerry just couldn't see himself at the Senior Prom????

Might I remind everyone that the original rumor came from the National Enquirer? Since when is the NE considered a valid news source?

The only picture ever shown of the two is sitting and watching a Knick game. (See, unlike the celebrities at Laker games, New Yorkers actually come to see the game and not be seen.)

I've seen it in the paper too. Her first name is Shoshana, and I know someone who knows someone who knows her. So I don't really know her.

OK, the question's been answered, and I think the MAY quota for alt.tv.seinfeld has been used up for about the next three months. All you MAY fans should bear in mind that there are a number of loyal Seinfeldians that really loathe MAY, and for whom every article posted to a.t.s about MAY is "like a red hot poker in my heart" (*). So PLEASE stop dissing this newsgroup by discussing that wretched show! (Perhaps I should be thankful that it's not HI!)
