Former "Mad About You" star Paul Reiser returns to NBC in this self-titled comedy series. Reiser plays himself as the show highlights the quiet life he has experienced since his previous hit show went off the air. In his quest to figure out what he should do next in his life, Paul is assisted by his new "friends," the husbands of his wife's friends. The men, thrown together by circumstance, form an unlikely comradeship.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A mediocre copy of Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Paul Reiser Show overdoses on broad jokes and aimless plotting.
