One thing I was going to add is, in my opinion, Everybody Loves Raymond was the "successor" to Seinfeld, the same way Seinfeld was the "successor" to Cheers.

One could argue Curb Your Enthusiasm belongs in there but I'm talking about network television. And I wouldn't include The Simpsons since I put that in it's own category for being animated.

The overall point being, we really didn't get a worthy "successor" to Everybody Loves Raymond. At least not one I'm aware of. The Office had some potential early on but that quickly jumped the shark.
