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.

Jamie's given up work but has too much time on her hands, and starts to drive Paul crazy. She interferes with everything, from his hair to his work, until he complains.

Paul is supposed to be baby-sitting his nephew on Halloween, but is working and forgets to tell Jamie. She ends up taking him trick or treating, and worries what will happen if she and Paul have a child of their own.

Paul and Jamie are at war with their new neighbors over their apartments and the building becoming a co-op, but their dogs don't share their families' animosity.

Jamie's quest for the perfect resting place for her uncle's ashes leads the Buchmans to Belmont Park.
