- "The Conversation" is the ninth episode of the sixth season of the American sitcom Mad About You, written by executive producer Victor Levin and directed by Gordon Hunt. The episode originally aired on December 16, 1997, on NBC. The plot sees married couple Paul (Paul Reiser) and Jamie Buchman (Helen Hunt) have a 20-minute conversation as they allow their infant daughter Mabel to cry herself to sleep for the first time. "The Conversation" is a bottle episode filmed in one take with a single camera. Playing out in real time, it takes place almost entirely outside the Buchman's bedroom. Originally, the episode was broadcast uninterrupted by commercials, which only aired after the opening theme and just before the end credits. Ferberization inspired Levin to write the episode as he believed it had "strong emotional ground". He also wanted an episode that would showcase Reiser and Hunt, who had always wanted to try the bottle episode format. The episode was seen by 17.9 million viewers, giving the show its largest audience since the sixth-season premiere. It received a mixed reaction following its broadcast, with critics praising Reiser and Hunt's performances, and the honest and funny script. However, one critic called it the "most annoying Mad About You episode ever". In later years, it has been named one of television's best bottle episodes. (en)
