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.

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 (Paul Reiser, Helen Hunt) fail to impress their birthing instructor (guest star Marsha Warfield) on a practice run to the hospital.

The Buchmans have their own concerns but are forced to listen to the troubles of ditsy waitress Ursula.

Jamie gets caught in the crossfire when the feuding grandmothers-to-be begin fighting over the cribs they bought.
