I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

good back-story, and good acting

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This truly is the bottom of the barrel as far as sitcoms go. What mindless drivel. So unoriginal, boring, and predictable. It's the same storyline every single episode. Ray the wimpy dopey husband lets his wife walk all over him while Ray's parents barge in (ever heard of locking the door?) and the mother in law criticizes Debra's cooking or gives a backhanded compliment about the house being clean. Meanwhile, the father sits on the chair in front of the TV with his pants unzipped bashing Ray's sons and his own sons Ray and Robert for having homosexual tendencies. Then the mopey giant cop brother Robert comes over and complains about how everyone prefers his brother Raymond. My parents used to watch this on TV Land every night and thank god they stopped. Even King of the Queens which is a very mediocre run of the mill sitcom is comedic gold compared to this steaming pile of horse crap. This has to be the most overrated sitcom of all time along with Friends, Big Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Mother. I'll stick to watching sitcoms like Seinfeld, the Office, and Family Guy.It truly is a wonder to me how this garbage managed to stay on air for 9 years and what's even more mind boggling is how many people actually thought this was funny enough to keep tuning in for 9 years. But then again Americans were stupid enough to elect Reagan, Bush, and Trump president so who am I kidding? Probably the most baffling, disturbing, and annoying part of this show is the cliche dumb doormat husband and the genius housewife who is never satisfied. You sit at home all day while your husband goes to work and makes good money so you have no room to complain. I cannot fathom how she can be so negative all the time.Anyway, if you have half a brain avoid this show at all costs. But if you hate your own life or like femdom then this is the show for you.

I say this as a one time fan of Raymond. I felt the show was relatively apolitical, clean in language and content, and even though the adult characters were ALL deeply flawed, they were mostly likable but quirky. Except for Marie. She exhibits all the properties of a mentally ill paranoid schizophrenic, and he double talks denigrating Ray's wife are despicable, and in no way funny. The episode which most bothered me was when Ray's wife tells her kids to bet on whether her husband, Ray, and their father would do,say, or indicate something stupid. That is SICK to teach one's children to ridicule and laugh at their father. The one with the girl who ate insects was a real close runner up. Frank, Ray's dad, ALWAYS says the most insensitive, vulgar, and irrelevant comments possible, except when he is demanding that his wife feed him like he was some sort of infant. Ray is a man child of course, in need of direction, criticism, and help from his hyper critical and judgmental wife or he wouldn't last a day. Ray is of course a SPORTS WRITER so surprise he enjoys both watching and participating in SPORTS! How can his wife not understand this, but oh yeah, all she does with Ray is whine and complain that he doesn't help her a little bit with the house. Not a word of thanks for Ray's hard work, he is a hard working, sober, loyal, and relatively responsible husband. Instead Ray is presented as a bumbling buffoon unable to raise his kids, satisfy his wife, and cut himself from his mother's apron strings. This show had potential, but it just degenerated into another mindless family situation comedy, with strong elements of serious mental illness used for comic effects. Sorry folks, it failed.

Everybody loves Raymond was like a safe pair of hands, a safe comedy that wasn't politically incorrect really, and it made one smile. All credit to Ray Romano for being a successful comedian with this sitcom.One brief scene stood out...where Debra expressed interest in taking the family on a holiday to Vietnam. Cue Ray who hummed the Ride of the Valkyries, which many will know is the main theme (I guess) from Apocalypse Now, and the audience had to laugh I guess. I guess the USA was still reeling from "Vietnam" even after more than two decades.If this episode was shown now, I wonder how many of the current young generation would laugh or feel bewilderment at Ray's Ride of the Valkyries?

Where to start with this sitcom. I've watched all 210 episodes back to front ever since my father introduced me to it. For those that don't know, Everybody Loves Raymond is about a Sports Writer and his wife and three kids along with his protective mother and cynical father across the street, as well as his big brother who is a cop. The characters consist of five strong mains, Raymond, Debra, Robert, Marie and Frank, but the script is so well written that any character that is introduced provides laughs. The last series' innuendos and inside jokes get a little tiresome, but it is still nothing short of excellent. The one thing that upset me about the show is Peter Boyle(Who plays Frank)'s health decline is distinctly clear in the last two or three series, as he was suffering from cancer. Bless his heart. To conclude, Everybody Loves Raymond is a thrill ride, and the youngsters of today who downgrade this excellent show must learn to understand classic sitcoms. 54 award wins. Satisfied?
