In this comedy, married New York couple Paul and Jamie Buchman (Paul Reiser, Helen Hunt) share their lives and offer wit and wisdom about relationships. Paul is a documentary filmmaker and Jamie works as a public relations specialist. Together, they grow and mature as they learn the art of staying married and loving it. Along for the ride is their ever-tolerant dog, Murray; Jamie's best friend, Fran; Jamie's sister, Lisa; and Paul's cousin, Ira. Playing recurring characters on the series are veteran actors including Lisa Kudrow and Hank Azaria.

A seemingly never-ending parade of visitors tests Paul's patience while he cares for his bedridden wife.

Feeling neglected as Jamie's baby shower is being planned, Paul asks Ira and Marvin to take a road trip.

Jamie plans to quit her job, then learns Troy wants to destroy Lance's career; a cockatoo flies into the Buchmans' apartment.

Nearing the end of her term, Jamie (Helen Hunt) lends Paul's cousin (guest star Sam Lloyd) more than enough help in opening his shop.
