I remember watching this in my home theater system first . It was about a New Yorker who tries to cope with divorce, dating and the other issues that he has to cope with!! We got to see scenes from old black and white clippings to show what was going on in his mind which made it really popular!! It was disappointing when the show was aired by HBO between 1990 and 1996 – I remember it was quite popular at that time!!
