I'm in the minority. I think Marie Barone is the best character on the show.
I never said she wasn't a great character. But if she were real, and Deborah killed her, they'd never get a conviction if I was on the jury .
Favorite episodes: "The Faux Paux" --- Ray takes the school janitor's son to a basketball game with the kids. "Throw it on the floor, that's what they pay the janitor for." In the same episode Frank tells a story about calling a co-worker's mother a "big fat moose." He defends himelf by saying "what do you feed her?"
Also, when Robert dates the "Frog Lady of Massapequa." She eats the fly. Ray: "She aaaaaaaaate it!!!!"
"I got news for you. If it wasn't for the toilet, there would be no books." --- George Costanza.
