They're soooo cute together on NBC's Mad About You. So cute, in fact, that Paul Reiser (Helen Hunt's whinier half on the sitcom, which he helped to create) has parlayed this twosome shtick into a best-seller. Couplehood- Reiser's take on the nonsingle life-is No. 4 on the list this week. So much for all the naysayers who predicted that none of the current books by TV comics (like Reiser and Tim Allen) would do as well as Jerry Seinfeld's, which was one of 1993's blockbusters. Reiser isn't there yet, but Couplehood has 425,000 copies in print. FICTION WEEKS ON LIST
