Mille Grazie!

And Carmela: I strive to inspire.

Cool. I went to Lotview to see them. Now I can't remember if the house has dormers in the series. I'll check that tonight. Also, in the series I don't think they show that pathway from the front door.

TV Land right now. Robert just asked Amy's parents for permission to marry her and they said no. No matter how many times I see this episode it makes me howl with laughter .

I love this show. In my opinion it was one of the best compilation of characters. They all compliment each other and seem to feed and play off each others talents.

One of my favorite episodes is when they go to Italy! Especially the scene where Raymond is in the bathtub!

Love this show. When it first started my wife forced me to watch. Evidently Rays mother reminded my wife of my mother.

In my view it was one of the top three comedies ever made. The honeymooners and I love Lucy are the other two.

One of my favorite episodes for me was the one with The Lucky Suit.

When I hear of someone dying I say he died because he didn't wear his Lucky Suit.

I used to really like it. However, a few years ago it dawned on me that, most of the time, Raymond is an indifferent father and husband. He occupies the same house as his wife and children, but infrequently acts as a component of a family. In fact, he admitted such when he told Robert that when he comes home he interacts with his kids for about five minutes and then wants to (and does) watch television. As a television character, there are family-friendly ways to achieve comedic portrayals. In any case, I'm no longer the fan of it that I once was.

I like the show, but Raymond is the whiniest, most immature excuse for a son, husband, or father on tv.

My favorite episode is the one where he and Debra put on the skit portraying Frank and Marie for the anniversary party of Lee and Stan, and then Frank and Marie turned the tables on them.

Doug from King of Queens surpasses. I assume that when they were creating King of Queens, they said, "Raymond's a hot wife/dopey guy show, let's do a hotter wife/dopier guy show.

I still love the show as much as ever. To me, the funniest episodes were always the ones where it was Debra vs Marie.

If Debra killed Marie, on Christmas Day, in front of Saint Patrick's, while the Monsignor was handing out Communion, they'd never get a guilty verdict if I was on the jury .

As far as Ray being a lousy father and husband, it's a sitcom. And highly functional families just aren't as funny.

Agreed, Ray's immaturity is what's funny. One of my favorite episodes is the Thanksgiving when Marie decided they needed to eat better so she made a Tofurkey. She even had those little paper things on the "drumsticks".

Most hilarious? When Marie and Frank sell the house to Robert and Amy and move to a senior complex, only to be thrown out for being too disruptive.

The whole cast was great together. You can see the same eposode 5 times, and you still laugh. It was the same with the Honeymooners and I love Lucy.

My favorite episode is the one where Micheal reads a paper at the schools open house. That episode cracks me up every time.

The Angry Family. Hysterical .

A great show and I particularly loved Robert and the episode where he was hanging out with the blacks and acting like them.- Yeah he had some good moves.
