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 (Helen Hunt) feels threatened by a new co-worker (guest star Kari Coleman); Ira (John Pankow) thinks James Earl Jones should narrate Paul's (Paul Reiser) film.

Jamie's remark about Ryan's musical talent offends Fran; Paul obsesses about the hourly rate the Buchmans are paying their therapist.

PBS asks the Buchmans to film themselves in their apartment for 15 minutes with no cuts for a "slice of life" documentary; Paul and Jamie become increasingly uncomfortable.

Jamie disagrees with Paul's technique when he begins a video on how to meet and date women; at the Buchman's apartment, Ira squares off with an old school friend of Jamie's.
