    I was watching Mad About You on Amazon Prime when suddenly Anita Baker voice blows me away singing the theme song. She added a sexiness to it and made me appreciate the lyrics like never before.

      Really genius comdey is as much timing, rhythm and delivery as the written joke. Most of the great comedians can play an musical instrument ... Their musical ears can hear the timing and rhythm and musical inflections needed in the delivery to put over a joke and elevate the funny words to a level of greatness.
      Great comedy delivery is like playing a musical instrument ... but your voice is the instrument...

    Love the late, great Sweet Pea Atkinson and Sir Harry Bowens on Backing Vocals. I suspect this came about because Don Was produced and co-wrote the tune. A great rendition of the song that I think played briefly in the second of third year. There's also an episode where an A Capella group sings the song in the subway. Hilarious in-joke!

    "Final Frontier" interpretado por Paul Reiser (@PaulReiser), Anita Baker (@IAMANITABAKER) y Kevin Eubanks (@Kevin_Eubanks) en un directo grabado del The Tonight Show (@tonightshownbc). "Final Frontier" era el tema musical de una de mis series favoritas 'Mad About You', sobre una pareja de recién casados en N.Y. que estaba interpretada por Paul Reiser y Helen Hunt (@HelenHunt), fueron siete temporadas de muchísima calidad y muy buen humor. En la serie el tema fue interpretado primero por el desaparecido Andrew Gold (@ANDREWGOLDMUSIC) y a partir de la sexta temporada también sonaba la versión de Anita Baker. #SmoothJazzVocals

      From what I understand Paul Reiser and Don Was wrote the composition. Andrew Gold wrote an arrangement of the piece. It was Andrew's arrangement they used for the actual show intro but with Paul singing and playing piano. This arrangement is the version Paul and Don created and it's being sung by Anita. I need to double check my sources but I think that's correct
