New originals due end of year

In advance of the arrival of new episodes of Mad About You, Charter will be making all 164 episodes of the classic sitcom available to Spectrum subscribers starting Aug. 1.

Charter’s Spectrum Originals is creating a limited series that reunites Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt. Those new episodes are expected to have their debut later this year during the holiday season.

Charter created Spectrum Originals as an added free benefit to retain its cable subscribers. The commercial-free service launched with L.A.’s Finest, a drama starring Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba produced by Sony and Jerry Bruckheimer.
