First Season:
=============
1. "Pilot" (101)
Debut: Paul and Jamie Buchman are Manhattan newlyweds adjusting to life
together. Realizing they have not had sex in five days, Jamie and Paul
decide to spend the evening home alone. It is not to be as their
scheduled evening alone goes off schedule as each assumes the other
called to cancel their previously scheduled evening with friends.
Jamie's sister, Lisa, pops in, a bit shaky after having "broken up with
that creep in Fort Lee." Then their rather trying friends, Mark and
Fran Devanow, arrive for dinner on the wings of confused invitation
signals. Giving up, Paul calls his loopy bachelor buddy, Jay Shelby,
who spends much of the evening on a stationary exercycle.
2. "Sofa's Choice" (104)
Couch, sofa, love seat. Roughly the same? Not if it's the first one
purchased by "us," as opposed to "you" or "me." Philip: Richard Roat.
3. "Sunday Times" (103)
"Sunday, sweet Sunday, with nothing to do" except decide what to do,
movie or museum, before others' Sundays intrude. Oops, too late.
4. "Out of the Past" (102)
News of his ex-girlfriend (Lisa Edelstein) fills Paul with excitement,
followed by guilt over the excitement, followed by blithering idiocy
after inviting Jamie to meet her.
5. "Paul in the Family" (105)
As usual, the arrival of Jamie's parents (Paul Dooley, Nancy Dussault)
turns Jamie into "a raving lunatic," who bribes her sister, Lisa, to
share the experience.
6. "I'm Just So Happy for You" (106)
The idea of marital teamwork is lost on Paul, who strikes out with his
baseball film the same day Jamie scores a major success.
7. "Token Friend" (107)
The subway holds a bad memory for Paul in the form of a former fellow
film student (Steve Buscemi), who makes token change instead of films,
and may blame Paul for it. Ryan: Spencer Klein.
8. "The Apartment" (109)
Planning a will brings up Paul's old bachelor pad, which he still
sublets, but Jamie would prefer he surrender the lease to the odd
sublessee, a fellow named Kramer (Michael Richards).
9. "Riding Backwards" (111)
On the train to Connecticut for Thanksgiving with Jamie's parents,
Paul and Jamie are fine; Mark and Fran are fighting; and Selby and
Lisa are just friends. But, on the return trip, everything is
opposite.
10. "Neighbors from Hell" (110)
The Buchmans get off on the wrong foot with their new neighbors, and each
subsequent step only makes things worse. Maggie: Judy Geeson.
Hal: Paxton Whitehead.
11. "Met Someone" a.k.a. "When Jamie Met Paul" (113)
Here's the story of how Jamie met Paul, who had to work hard to find
her after a chance encounter, and talk fast to turn their next
meeting into a dinner date. Lester: David Arnott.
12. "Maid About You" (108)
The Buchman's new once-a-week maid (Beata Pozniak) is a big help, but
she's brokenhearted upon learning her affection for Paul is not
mutual.
13. "Togetherness" (112)
How much togetherness is too much? Producer Jamie oversees Paul after
hiring him to direct a film for her client. That's too much.
Al: Jerry Hardin. Apple: Bill Dunlevy.
14. "Weekend Getaway" (116)
A spontaneous getaway to the country doesn't instantly cure Jamie's job
stress -- but once it does, she's for making the getaway permanent.
Ned: Murphy Dunne.
15. "The Wedding Affair" (115)
After inadvertently revealing a secret about a bride to her father, Paul
badgers Jamie into telling one of hers to him, and he's sorry that he
does. Unknown Couple: Annie Abbott, Neil Vipond.
16. "Love Among the Tiles" (114)
What's a couple to do if they're trapped in the bathroom on Valentine's
Day? Paul and Jamie know -- now. Included: mutual facials, and
antacids as food. Andrew: Gregory Paul Martin.
17. "The Billionaire" (118)
The eccentric billionaire (Jerry Lewis) who wants Paul to make a film
about him is a bit too friendly, while Paul's new editor-cameraman
(Steven Wright) will hardly speak. Beldon: Bill Fox.
18. "The Man Who Said Hello" (119)
Paul's father becomes famous after an incident with Regis Philbin that
embarrasses Paul -- but not as much as being seen later as the
overreactive son by all of New York. Joy Philbin also appears.
Mimi: Maria Pitillo.
19. "Swept Away" (117)
Jamie figures out what's going on between Lisa and her new boyfriend
(Charles Shaughnessy), and figures they're moving too fast, considering
they've known each other only a week.
20. "The Spy Girl Who Loved Me" (120)
Jamie's client (Barbara Feldon) is the former TV star, Spy Girl, idolized
by Paul and Ira in their childhood, which seems to return as they compete
for her attention, and Ira wins -- big.
21. "The Painter" (121)
Paul has no qualms about leaving Jamie alone with the ex-boyfriend (Rick
Rossovich) she's hired to paint the apartment, but he finds a stunning
picture when he returns.
22. "Happy Anniversary" (122)
At the Buchman's anniversary bash, love blooms between Paul's cameraman
(Steven Wright) and assistant (Meagan Fay), but there's no love lost
between the now separated Fran and Mark.

==============

for a walk and returns with a pooch that Paul doggedly insists can't be
Murray -- this one is smart. Cop: Jerry Adler.
24. "Bing, Bang, Boom"
Phone calls, neighbor noise and Murray's invisible mouse are just some of
the things distracting Paul and Jamie from attempts at romance.

home alone, until Jamie tries to score some extra -- and much needed --
"nice points" with her. Sharon: Randy Graff.

Jenkins) -- who happens to be seated nearby. Rick: Cameron Thor.
27. "So I Married a Hair Murderer"
Paul isn't at all pleased with Jamie, who just has too much free time,

nephew (Bradley Pierce), whose visit Paul forgot to mention.
Remy: Marva Hicks.
29. "Natural History"
Was it fate or luck that brought Jamie and Paul together? Jamie's belief
that it was fate annoys Paul, who's already miffed that Jamie is spending
time with Lisa rather than him. Paul finds little consolation in a beer
with Ira, who drags Paul along as he pursues Ursula, the waitress, to her
other job at a museum. . . where, as it happens, Lisa and Jamie are
meeting Lisa's blind date. Of course, Jamie and Paul meet. A
coincidence? Maybe not. Jamie remembers a childhood visit to the museum
that's amazingly similar to one that Paul recalls.

and Paul feels betrayed when Lou (Larry Miller) tampers with his latest
labor of love.

"the saddest chapter" of her shrink's book, which blames an
"overbearing" sister for her problems.

The death of someone else named Paul Buchman affects Paul, who suddenly
finds he's not approved for credit -- and wants to know more about his
namesake.
35. "Same Time Next Week"
The Buchmans endure two months of separation when Paul has a film shoot
in Chicago and blows into town for weekends only, weather permitting.
36. "The Late Show"

have gotten someone pregnant -- but Jamie and Paul don't realize that
it's Ira who may have gotten Fran pregnant.
37. "Virtual Reality"

44.
The Buchmans accompany Fran on her blind date with Jamie's classmate
(David Beron). But guess who else is coming for dinner -- Fran's
estranged husband.
45. "Up All Night"
Jamie's sleeplessness prompts an all-night adventure for her and Paul,
taking them from the basement to the rooftop for a tango with John
Astin -- if that's who it really is. Garth Brooks has a cameo.
Wicker: Jerry Adler.
46. "With This Ring. . ."
