So it will likely be On Demand? Great. I have Spectrum but I use TiVo so I have no access to the OD content.

I have Spectrum and they have an app on both my smart TV and Roku (and probably other places) that offers live programming and on demand, so it might be available that way.

Every time I think about Mad About You, I think of the Seinfeld episode where Susan keeps calling George to bed so they can watch the show. The look on George's face says it all.

Spectrum? Who the hell subscribes to Spectrum? Will there be any other way to see this (legally) once this comes out?

Spectrum Cable. Plenty do. They have the exclusive TV rights to the Dodgers and Lakers for the next 25+ years. So people in LA do subscribe.

Damn, I did up until about a month or so ago. I forgot this was going to be an exclusive. That's a bummer. Similarly, I still haven't seen Mr. Mercedes since it was a DirecTV exclusive.

It's one thing for Netflix or Hulu to have exclusive shows where dropping $10 to subscribe for a month isn't a big deal. Switching your cable provider to watch a show is absurd.

LA's Finest (Spectrum On-Demand) is better than most network cop shows so I hope it continues.

Okay, had no idea. When TW went to Spectrum, it kind of started dying out in my area. Not really a major player around here.

Mad About You - Shut Down As Helen Hunt Recovers From Car Accident

The Mad About You revival series suspended production on Friday, following the Wednesday car accident involving star Helen Hunt. While she was not seriously injured, she has been resting at home and needs more time to recuperate. The comedy continued pre-shooting work on Thursday around Hunt but shut down on Friday as she is a vital part of the show and is needed for filming to continue. Work is being suspended until Monday when the producers will evaluate the situation based on Hunt’s availability.

Why didn't they just air this on NBC again? Never heard of Sprectrum until they announced this revival. So stupid.

Spectrum used to be Time Warner cable, they are now producing exclusive shows.

No broadcast or streamer wanted this show. It was passed on by everyone.

Which is odd. It was a huge hit on NBC for years and won multiple Emmy's. CBS gave "Murphy Brown" another shot. Why wouldn't NBC allow it to air for a month or so?

No, they're just not going to watch THIS show. Patrick Stewart is 16 years older than Paul Reiser, but people will be watching PICARD.

Not that I'm planning to watch it, -and Spectrum is my cable provider, -but their adult daughter will be a key character, also.

But Picard is also going to be on a streaming service that doesn't depend on ratings demographics. My point was that NBC wouldn't want the show because the ratings would likely be low in the younger demographics which are what the networks generally care about for selling ads.

Yes, a Star Trek series will probably attract more younger viewers than a show about an older married couple sitting around an apartment. Picard will also feature a bunch of younger people in the main cast.

I bet NBC was pretty burned by the Will & Grace revival and didn't want to go down that particular road again so soon.

Still I wonder why HULU didn't pick it up. Seems like something that they or Netflix would have had some interest in. I would have checked it out.

If I don't have their service (not available in my area) but do have Spectrum Sports in my cable package, would I get this?

If you are able to use the Spectrum app, I would imagine you would. On my cable, it's available in the On Demand menu.

No, this is exclusive for Spectrum cable subscribers. Spectrum SportsNet (The Lakers channel, which I assume you have) has nothing to do with this as it's a totally separate entity.

I believe Spectrum has some kind of deal with Sony, who produces this show. Because they also have LA's Finest, a Bad Boys spinoff female cop show, also made by Sony. These 2 shows were probably sold as a package.

I would argue Star Trek has a larger fan base than Mad About You.

The Buchmans are back! Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt reprise their roles in the Sony Pictures Television-produced limited event series on Wednesday, November 20 when the first six episodes drop ad-free exclusively on Spectrum's On Demand platform. The final six episodes will release on Wednesday, December 18. The series will explore the fertile ground of modern marriage through the eyes of the Buchmans as newly minted empty-nesters after dropping their unpredictable, hard-to-control daughter Mabel (Abby Quinn) off at college.

The original sitcom ran for seven seasons from 1992-1999 and won multiple Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) awards. All 164 original episodes are now available free on-demand for Spectrum subscribers.

"Mad About You" is produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Comedy Dynamics. Peter Tolan serves as showrunner, executive producer and writer. Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser executive produce alongside Brian Volk-Weiss, Michael Pelmont and Matthew Ochacher. Danny Jacobson, who co-created the show with Reiser will serve as an executive consultant. Additional cast includes: Original cast members John Pankow and Richard Kind as Ira Buchman and Dr. Mark Devanow, and Abby Quinn as Mabel Buchman.

I just realized the other day that we have Spectrum at work, so I may be able to catch this on my lunch breaks.
