Everybody Loves Raymond

[sundog]

but me.

:wtf:

I have never watched the show. Not once.

And moreover, I have no desire to.

Is it really *that* good? :shrug:

[Floogeldy]

1. And me.

But I like him okay, in a pinch.

[Fenris]

2. His "wife" on that show is fucking insufferable

On screen and off.

[sundog]

5. yes, I understand she is a republican pig

another reason not to watch it

[tuvor]

12. Where do you draw the line, then?

Does absolutely everyone involved in some ensemble have to be liberal before you'll watch something as trivial as a sitcom?

[sundog]

13. no, I just have no inclination whatsoever to watch it

her bullshit just gives me another excuse to avoid it

[coloradodem2005]

16. I have been watching 24 instead.

It is on at the same time and it keeps me interested.

[tuvor]

18. Well, to reiterate.

Yes, it really is that good. At least the first few seasons were, back when it was struggling along. I can't speak for the last three or four years.

If you come across an early episode, give it a chance and forget about the political leanings of the actors. You might enjoy it. And if you don't, then you'll at least know why.

My favorite line: "Mom, I'm not gonna lie to you." <Uncomfortably long and unresolved silence>

9. Those Albertsons commercials have become so obnoxious.

I would be really freaked out if I were in a Grocery store and some stranger came up to me and started talking to me about the steaks that they carry.

[progressoid]

15. Yeah, she's a tool.

She's honorary douchebag for these people

And she got all weepy about the Schiavo debacle.

I bet the cast & crew will be happy to not see her face all week for the rest of their lives.

:puke:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

3. I fucking hate that show

[SarahB]

4. I'd love him-

Decapitated! :evilgrin:

[Borgnine]

6. I do not love Raymond.

I really don't get the hype behind this show, but then again, I never understood Friends either.

[Radio_Lady]

11. Well, I did enjoy the show, and sorry to see its final episode May 20

All of the actors are talented people. I try not to think about their politics, and just enjoy them. Ray Romano is a very funny guy, but he's pretty rich now. I doubt if he'll do stand-up comedy any more.

[coloradodem2005]

19. Jerry Seinfeld did after his show went off the air.

[napi21]

7. Yea, I think it is.

I think it's so entertaining to so many people because each of us can relate to almost everything that goes on in their skits.

[tuvor]

8. Yes. At least it WAS that good.

I watched only the first four or five seasons. But they were really good.

BTW, Patricia Heaton's the only bushkisser on the show. I understand the rest are pretty liberal.

[progressoid]

10. Eh, its ok.

Consider youself blessed with a lot of extra time in your life.

Also, I think it went on about 3 or 4 years too long.

14. brad garrett

funny guy. loved his dance scene.

[coloradodem2005]

17. Where he was dancing to Coolio in some club?

[Sandpiper]

20. And me

That show is insufferable and I'm glad its ending.

Ray Romano's "comedy" is some of the unfunniest stuff I've ever seen.

[maveric]

21. I'd watch it for Peter Boyle and Brad Garret. The rest of the cast sucks.

Peter Boyle is a staunch dem from Philly ya know.

[newsguyatl]

22. never watched it either

but then again, i never saw an episode of seinfeld either :shrug:
