PLOT:
Paul and Jamie Buchman are young urban newlyweds who try to sustain their marital bliss while sidestepping the hurdles of love in the 90's.
season 1 -
Paul and Jamie's planned evening alone turns into an impromptu dinner party. A pouting Paul reluctantly agrees to give up his Saturday to shop for a sofa with Jamie. But their sofa safari hits two snags when Paul objects to Jamie's choice of a "love seat". An apartment-bound Paul and Jamie want to make the most of their Sunday in Manhattan and finally agree to a strict precise agenda. But their best-laid plans are waylaid by wailing relatives, well-intentioned friends and street-clogging parades. Paul nervously anticipates an impromptu reunion with an old college flame and nobly invites a curious Jamie to accompany him and Selby. But he can't help competing with Selby for his ex-girlfriend's attention. Paul feels like the odd man out when Jamie's exceedingly picky parents come to visit. And while her handy dad shows mechanically challenged Paul how to remove a hair clog from the plumbing, Jamie shudders every time her parents question any decision she makes. Paul and Jamie both anxiously await the results of professional projects that could further their respective careers: for him, it's a TV documentary he directed, for her, it's a ludicrous public relations proposal. Jamie persuades Paul to face an old film school rival, Howie, who blames Paul for derailing his film career and forcing him to become a Subway token-taker. After an unpleasant reunion at the subway station, Howie stomps out. A reluctant Paul finally accepts Jamie's dare to give up the rent-controlled lease to his old bachelor apartment and sever all connections to the past. But Jamie doesn't know about Paul's edgy tenant, a strange gawky man named Kramer. Paul and Jamie get on the wrong track en route to a holiday disaster when they cram aboard a train to visit her parents for their first Thanksgiving together. Their good cheer is derailed when their crowded car is also boarded by their feuding friends Fran and Mark. Paul and Jamie's first encounter with their new neighbors is a disaster. In a flashback from three years earlier, bachelor Paul accidentally bumps into an attractive stranger. Paul and Jamie hire a Russian maid to clean their cluttered apartment, but Paul's nagging guilt compels him to get in the way, and he finds himself in trouble when she misinterprets his kindness as flirtation. When Jamie lands a huge account to promote New York tourism, she eagerly hires Paul to direct the filming of a TV commercial. During a long weekend, stressed-out Paul and workaholic Jamie escape the city and try to unwind in a rustic country inn, but the clean air, beautiful scenery and quiet nights nearly drive the New Yorkers stir crazy. Paul and Jamie are overdressed and overstressed when they attend a friend's wedding, where Paul blurts out an embarrassing revelation about the blushing bride. Paul and Jamie miss out on a friend's important Valentine's Day party when they accidentally lock themselves in their bathroom. They vainly try ramming the door, dropping S.O.S. notes out the window and yelling for their lazy dog. Paul is flattered when an eccentric billionaire offers him a ton of money to produce a documentary film about his life. Assisted by Steven, his keenly observant film editor, Paul traipses after his loony subject and amasses miles of film. Paul is mortified when his star struck father calls out to talk show host Regis Philbin across a crowded theater, but his embarrassment mushrooms when an amused Regis asks the chatty old man to appear on his talk show. A protective Jamie shares her doubts with Paul when her neurotic sister Lisa gleefully decides to move in with her too-perfect English boyfriend after a week of courtship. Paul nearly drools with excitement when Jamie invites him to dinner with her client Diane Caldwell, a sexy TV spy/heroine from the 1960s who inspired his adolescent fantasies. Paul becomes insanely jealous when Jamie hires her handsome ex-boyfriend to paint their apartment. Paul's suspicions are further aroused when he rushes home and hears telltale voices from his bedroom. Paul makes intricate plans to celebrate his and Jamie's first wedding anniversary, but the event hits the skids when Jamie worries about inviting their feuding friends Mark and Fran, who have recently separated.
season 2 -
Paul and Jamie are stupefied when her luckless sister Lisa takes their dim-witted dog, Murray, out for a walk and returns with another hound on the leash. Because of Paul's heavy workload, he and Jamie look forward to a long-postponed romantic night alone in their bedroom, but their little passion play is continually interrupted by phone calls. After his father is hospitalized with mild chest pains, Paul and Jamie offer to spend the night at home with Paul's disagreeable mother. Paul encourages an overworked Jamie to quit her job. After quitting her job, Jamie struggles with her newfound leisure time.
