Mad About You (Spectrum)

If you're a Spectrum Cable subscriber, you're going to get the first crack at the upcoming Mad About You revival as the first six episodes drop.

The series, created by Danny Jacobson and Paul Reiser, also stars Reiser and Helen Hunt as Jamie and Paul decades after the original ended as they say goodbye to their daughter, Mabel, who is attending NYU five blocks down the street.

All of the integral cast members return, including John Pankow as Paul's cousin Ira, Richard Kind as their friend, Mark, and Anne Ramsay as Jamie's sister, Lisa. Carol Burnett is even reprising her role as Jamie's mom.

But watching makes you wonder whether the characters were as enjoyable during the first run as memories dictate as the couple seems more neurotic than ever.

Spectrum only has exclusive rights to their originals for a limite time, so it won't be too long before you can see for yourself.

8/7c Chicago Med (NBC)

10/9c Stumptown (ABC)

With things still on rocky ground between Dex and Grey, a Friendsgiving with their plus ones shouldn't be awkward at all, right? Tune in to see!
