Mad About You Characters:
Paul Buchman was born and raised in New York City. He attended NYU Film School and, in 1980, was named the school's "Most Promising Filmmaker." He is now a successful documentarian, specializing in films for such cable networks as the Explorer Channel and PBS. Paul has two sisters, Debbie and Sharon, who both have kids. His mother Sylvia, and his father, Burt, continue to live in the city, in the apartment where he was raised. Paul's best friend since childhood is his cousin Ira. Paul married Jamie Stemple in 1992, and they reside in Greenwich Village with their dog, Murray. Called "Paulie" by his cousin Ira. His wedding ring has the date of his marriage to Jamie inscribed on it; he has lost the ring twice, one time in a hot dog vendor's cart. Gave Jamie a cotton candy machine for their second anniversary. He thinks he looks like a young Ronald Coleman. Jamie thinks he's more Gregory Peck-ish. A guy overhearing them felt Paul bore a closer resemblance to Charles Laughton.
Jamie Stemple-Buchman was born at 12:01 am, with a full head of hair, in New Haven, Connecticut, to proud parents Gus and Theresa Stemple. After a rosy childhood that she shared with her sister Lisa (with whom she shares a psychic bond), she went on to attend Yale University. At Yale, she had seven boyfriends, but never decided on a major. At 18, she wrote a short story, entitled "New Haven," about her college experiences. On moving to New York, she took a job at Farrer-Gantz Public Relations, eventually rising to the position of Regional Vice President. After leaving Farrer-Gantz to continue her education, Jamie started her own public relations firm, which was eventually consolidated into City Hall's press department, under Director of Communications Lance Brockwell. When Brockwell set his sights on the Mayor's mansion, he selected Jamie as his campaign manager. In December of 1989, Jamie met Paul Buchman, and the couple were married in 1992. Paul and Jamie are currently expecting their first child on. Paul first described her as "pushy and pretty with a sexy voice." Jamie keeps a diary on computer disk. Met Paul at a news stand; stole his copy of the New York Times. Actually married Paul in a secret, dawn ceremony, on the street the day of their formal wedding.
Ira Buchman, Paul's first cousin, is a native of Sheepshead Bay, Long Island. A fun-loving guy who is always looking for an angle, Ira first appeared in the episode "Wedding Affair." A bandleader who plays lead saxophone, Ira has recorded many demos, and still harbors dreams of seeing a recording of his work released. Years ago, Ira started working for Paul's father, Burt, managing Buchman's Sporting Goods store; when Burt recently retired, he gave the store to Ira, who has adjusted quite well to his new responsibilities. Jamie has described Ira as "ubiquitous." He gave Paul and Jamie an "object d'art" clock for their first anniversary. He is a member of Gambler's Anonymous and has been known to slip. His SAT scores were lower than Paul's.
Lisa Stemple is Jamie Buchman's long-suffering sister, Lisa Stemple, was born with no hair (her parents called her cue ball), and raised in New Haven, Connecticut. She has numerous psychological issues, most of them stemming from her childhood. The greatest component of Lisa's love/hate relationship with her sister is her extreme jealousy of Jamie's success in her love life and career; until her relationship with Sanford Klarik. She once went so far as to blame Jamie for all her problems in an interview with her psychiatrist that became a chapter of a book called "Manics." In recent months, her engagement to multimillionaire Klarik seemed to have changed her outlook as much as it has changed her luck. As hostess of Jamie's bridal shower, she served soda and gum. Sobbed through Paul and Jamie's entire wedding ceremony. Does her laundry at Paul and Jamie's apartment. Career moves have included work as a model at a boat show, a job as assistant to Murray the dog during his show-biz career, and writing fortunes for cookies "on spec."
Murray is, in Paul Buchman's words, "a Flatbush pound collie shepherd." He is seven years old (forty-nine in dog years). Paul and Ira found him in Central Park when he was a very small puppy, upon which occasion Ira fed him a turkey sandwich. Murray wore a tag, and when Paul called the phone number on it, the owner asked if Paul wanted to keep the dog. Since Paul had just broken up with an old girlfriend, he welcomed the companionship. Paul met Jamie while walking Murray to the newsstand one night. He's no genius but he has a vibe ... a basic "Murrayness." Has a white spot and from a litter of 14 puppies. Murray's former owner was Alfred Urbont, who referred to Murray as "Swifty," and still has Mona, Murray's Mom. In The Murray Box: baby teeth, first collar, ball, Hard Rock Cafe shirt, Obedience School Certificate (indicating a flunk in "Sit"), tag. He has been lost, towed and kidnapped. Fathered a litter with the snooty Conways' prize showdog, Sophie. Dreams of an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Show-biz aspirations crushed when he bit his agent.
