It is on twice a day in reruns here- when/why was it cancelled? It seems to be a pretty funny show…or WAS a pretty funny show…or…you know what I mean!

It was cancelled last season. I didn’t see too many episodes last year, but from what I gleaned from promos they decided to introduce the same kind of dramatic tension (possible infidelity) that doomed Mad About You.

I forgot…I realize Mad About You wasn’t literally “doomed” by the almost-divorce series, it did run for another 4 years. It just wasn’t as good  
(IMO) as the first couple of seasons.

Yeah, I have seen quite a few episodes (when you’re unemployed, the TV world is your oyster!) and the early ones seem a lot funnier than later ones. And the only reason I can tell they are later ones is because Jenna Elfman’s hair is longer!
