There’s not a lot of effort to emulate the show, per se, but I do think there was something really romantic about them. And despite how my show is being sold, and how it plays out on a macro level, in my mind (and in the audience’s mind, hopefully) it’s a deeply romantic show. It’s a show that believes in love even though it acknowledges that it’s essentially impossible. But I think there’s something beautiful about the fact that we know it’s probably going to fail, and yet they keep trying. There’s something beautiful in that. One thing that connects 'Mad About You' and 'You’re The Worst' seems to be a sense that relationships are work, but work is a defining characteristic of relationships rather than an impediment to them. Is that a fair assessment? I think so. I think relationships certainly are hard. But there’s also a quality of playfulness in the Paul/Jamie interactions. Those cold opens where they would just be brushing their teeth, and one spits on the other’s head as they bend down to get water, and they just have the timing wrong…there was something reassuring in the little playful interactions. So yes, relationships are work, and the two really went through stuff as the seasons went on. But the show also reminds you that there’s something beautiful about the daily interactions. It doesn’t have to be boring and fogey-ish. There can also be a fresh approach to interacting as a couple.
