Mad About You: Season 4

... with infinite patience. At this point, I don't ask for any extras, no fancy booklets, nothing! Just press the discs and sell them with the cheapest packaging you can imagine... I (and apparently several others) will buy it right away. The series had a loyal following, so much so that it kept the show going for seven seasons. Well, we are still here! If not for anything else, a quick IMDB glance points to the striking fact that this show earned 63 awards nominations and 36 wins, including multiple American Comedy Awards, Directors Guild and Screen Actors Guild awards, several Emmy's, Golden Globes, and the list goes on. So, for the sake of ART, itself, please release it. In case inescapable reasons prevent that, I would hope Sony could simply offer an explanation to the fans. Take it as a matter of politeness towards your customers (yes, we are the folks at home watching your shows and helping you make money). It is fine, we can take a solid justification, we are not exactly Cavemen (pun intended). That way, at least, we will not feel like fools waiting for nothingness. And for the record, season four ranks very high in my list of favorites, not just for its formidable ending, but also for the intelligent and subtle way the seeds for that ending were planted throughout the entire season, offering much more context and meaning to the final episodes (evidently, this is in no way captured by the collection dvd set). What else can I say? I encourage more people to use this public space and signal their interest in this excellent show. Thank you for reading.

At last, Season Four is released. This season was a turning point in the show and the laughter slowly gives way to the seriousness of relationship troubles as this season draws to a close.Much could be said about the last three episodes of the fourth season. Suffice it to say, these three shows, a trilogy story arc within the greater arc of the series, really bring home the reality of marriage - the side you never see in most series, let alone a sit-com. But, as we all know, this was more than just another sit-com. As M*A*S*H became more than a series of setups, prat falls and yuks featuring doctors at war, MAY demonstrates the depth and range of the actors, giving them dialogue that was about as close to "real" as you can get during the park bench scene. Chilling stuff.And with Season Five slated for a late 2010 release, it appears the powers that be are beginning to hear our cries for getting on with finishing the release of the remaining seasons. Let's hope seasons six and seven won't be another two to three years in the offing.

Always loved this show, one of the few back then that I used to actually make sure to watch when it was on.But for me, the first through third seasons were the best, because in this season, they started getting way too contrived, with the baby and marriage problems, that it just lost some of the appeal, started feeling more like just another sitcom.Up until this season, it was a smooth flowing, fun ride, and while i wouldn't have minded a more serious bent to the last part of the fourth season, it was how they went about it that just rang so hollow. Out of the blue, suddenly the marriage is in danger, and the setup for the various things was just so planned, it took away the enjoyment. The show where they were trying to talk, and suddenly everyone was showing up at their door, for instance... They live up in the building, only way to get there is to go on the stairs or elevator, and there is no way the elevator could go up and down and bring up new people within 10 seconds, yet in one episode, their doorbell rings over and over, as if they all came up separately, but there is no possible way for that to have happened. And the whole last end of the season has that feel, things just thrown at the wall in hopes something would stick.The beginning of the season is still good though, hence the reason I still gave it four stars. And even the bad shows still have moments of hilarity, but this was the beginning of the end, and it unfortunately mars the series.Other than that, though, still glad this finally came out on DVD, as I have had seasons 1 through 3 forever it seems, and had wondered if it was ever going to come out. Worth getting, especially for the price here at Amazon.But the happy ride that was enjoyed for the first three seasons begins the downward slide towards the end...

OK. It was shipped so fast (and I live in Peru).First surprise: 2 plastic cases. 2 discs in each case. So my new Mad About You discs are safeSecond surprise: Introduction by Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt on "Yoko Said", "The Finale (part 1)", "The Finale (part 2)" and "The Finale (part 3)"Third surprise: "Mad About the Theme" (04:09) and "TV Spots" (06:16) on disc 4.OK, I think all of these bonus features were on the "Mad About You Collection" but i didn't buy it (I refuse to do that) so now I hope every single extra is on the next DVD sets.One little downside: no subtitles. I already accepted there is no other audio track (there was a spanish track in the first DVD sets) but they must add english subtitle (spanish subtitle would be better).I am waiting for next seasons! They already announced season 5 on DVD.

The wait is FINALLY over. I love this show and have been waiting, waiting, waiting for season 4. Thank you to SHOUT FACTORY for releasing this great sitcom. They were so good at getting That Girl out, and all 5 seasons, too! Let's hope that seasons 5, 6, and 7 are not far behind. This is one TV show were I truly believe that the couple is married and in love. The chemistry between Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt reminds me of Rob and Laura, Samantha and Darrin, Archie and Edith. The wait won't be over until the end of June, but I can wait and my summer will be that much more enjoyable with season 4 to watch.

aurait été chouette sans la propagande

I wish there were shows written like Mad About You today. You get the feeling these two are really married to each other, the chemistry is that powerful. And the scripts are extraordinarily well written too! I just wish these had subtitles for deaf and hard-of-hearing.

Super, thank you!

Ich liebe diese Serie und die Schauspieler sind gut auf englisch zu verstehen. Leider spielte mein DVD-Player die DVDs nicht (Ländercode) aber eine Freundin half mir mit ihrem aus.

Just as good as the 1st season this show delivers romance humor life lessons and tears. A must own tv show.
