Trivia:

In one episode, Paul and Jamie see Ursula after a long time of absence in the show. They ask her where she had been and she says "I've been hanging out with friends". Ursula is portrayed by Lisa Kudrow, who started starring in "Friends" (1994), thus her absence at Mad About You.

Goofs:

Continuity: As with any long-running show there are many inconsistencies between series. Characters' life histories, their birthdays and ages are reported differently from time to time as the writers invent new stuff for them that wasn't thought of when the series began.

Quotes:

Ira:[sniffing] Did you have a steak?
Paul:What are you, part wolf? As a matter of fact I did, this morning.
Ira:For breakfast? Paulie, I'm impressed.
Paul:I'm working my way backwards through the day: for dinner, I'm having cornflakes.
