Hours after Helen Hunt told Ellen DeGeneres that she and Paul Reiser have been meetings in her kitchen a lot recently about doing a Mad About You revival, Entertainment Weekly reports that they closed a deal with Sony to bring back the show. Now it is up to the studio to sell the show to a network and Mad About You will join Will & Grace and Roseanne on our TVs again.
Since those two shows have been successful, it seems like a no-brainer for NBC to be the one that picks it up since they aired it the first time. At this rate, NBC will only air revivals of their old sitcoms on Thursdays. I would not be surprised if they are talking to the casts of Wing, Family Ties and Night Court to bring those comedies back. I am rooting most for the last one. What shows do you want to see back on TV?
When it comes to Mad About You returning to the airwaves, I am lukewarm. I watched it, but it is nothing that makes me say it needs to come back. Do you think it does?
Back in December, Paul Reiser said he was interested in a Mad About You Reunion. Yesterday when his TV wife Helen Hunt was on The Late Late Show, she told James Corden that she is also up for it.
But it gets even better than that, she revealed to the CBS host that she and Reiser had breakfast earlier in the day at her house to talk about it. They just don’t want it to “suck”. Then she shared with us, “We would like to do it. Although, we felt very proud of what we did. We just don’t want to wreck it and make it sucky. That’s the goal.”
And with that confirmation, NBC is probably calling them as you read this and offering them a 10-episode deal. Soon it will be nothing but our childhood’s on TV. You know what, I am OK with that. Very OK with that!
Back in the early ’80s, Rick Springfield was the hottest teen idol out there. He had huge hits like Jessie’s Girl and I’ve Done Everything for You and he was starring on General Hospital as Dr Noah Drake. So it should be no surprise that child actress Helen Hunt was mad about him like so many other girls her age.
Well the 19 year old was working on the same lot as him in 1982 and she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she left a note on his car windshield declaring her love. How did he respond? Let’s just say Don’t Talk to Strangers is not only one of his songs it is what he does.
Sadly, the Oscar winner never heard from her, but she was able to share that story almost 35 years later. I wonder how he will react when he hears this? He will probably say, “I hate myself.” Imagine what could’ve been if he would’ve acted on her affair of the heart?

Luke Wilson and Helen Hunt were filming a scene of their upcoming movie Ride yesterday and all I want to know is what he doing behind the Oscar winner. But then again looking at her behind, can you blame him for doing whatever he might be doing?

Helen Hunt was out and about yesterday in a tight pair of leggings, and we found out she has a really good a$$. Who knew her butt was as good as it gets.
