Does Everybody Really Love Raymond?

[mondo joe]

Or what?

[Cha]

1. NOt me!

I don't like sitcoms..especially that one.

[Itascapark]

2. No...we're just friends

[rawtribe]

3. Who? n/t

[Dr.Phool]

4. I hate Raymond!!!

[Floogeldy]

5. His sitcom wife doesn't love him

So why the fuck should we?

[Rowdyboy]

6. Always the contrarian...I have always Loved Raymond

Though I must admit tonights show sucked. Bad, bad, writing.

BTW, I know that Patricia Hearon is a Repub...I don't care. She's a really talented actress and I don't care who she votes for.

[msgadget]

7. No, silly, they love the

[ashling]

8. NO !

[ThorsHammer]

9. No; second most overrated show after Friends

[grace0418]

20. A BIG disagree

It's the absolutely the most overrated show, followed by Desperate Housewives.

Friends was hilarious (not plausible, not true to life, just hilarious).

Raymond is depressing. The wife is bitchy, Ray is a whiny dumbass, the father is a cheap, selfish bastard, the mother is a passive-aggressive busy-body, and the kids cannot possibly be theirs. The only decent character is the brother. I get tense just watching the show for a few minutes. These people shouldn't even be in contact with one another much less living next door. I don't get it. Does it make some people feel better to watch a family that's even more dysfunctional than their own?

23. "Does it make some people feel better to watch a family that's even more

dysfunctional than their own?" The answer to that is yes. One of main reasons why we watch comedies and also tragedies is to have a glimpse of people in situations that we would never want to be placed in ourselves. Catharsis in a safe environment and all that.

[ThorsHammer]

37. Interesting

I can't stand either, and Raymond may actually be worse. I was referring to Friends as more overrated as it's much more mainstream and part of pop culture, whereas Raymond's success is still a mystery to me.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

10. Yes- THIS Raymond.

Raymond Felton ( UNC-Chapel Hill B-Ball star!)

[mondo joe]

11. Is anyone else a little creeped out by his giant brother?

Where did those tall genes come from anyway?

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. I think of him as a god.

That is to say, I want to crucify him.

[Squeech]

13. No fan here

Mrs. Squeech likes all this dreadful television. I'm getting to where I want to throw the TV set off the top of a tall building.

[AlCzervik]

14. No!

[peekaloo]

15. I love Rain Man!

[Glenda]

16. No, but I love the woman who plays his mother

She's funny!

[jswordy]

17. Hate that show...I could not even watch the whole first episode

and haven't watched it since then.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

18. No.

I cannot stand his mother.
Duckie

[LynneSin]

19. You mean "everyone loves raymond and his freakenstein silcone wife"

:eyes:

[Mad_Dem_X]

34. LOL! She's a repuke, too, ain't she?

I liked that show, until it became "Everybody Stands Around and Shouts At Everybody Else." After two minutes of it I get a headache.

[DeaconBlues]

21. I do

The show makes me laugh every time. Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle are excellent. Its one of the only programs that is still watchable on the networks since the ascendancy of the truly awful "reality" shows.

[Missy Vixen]

22. No

Raymond's TV wife, Patricia Heaton, is quite the right-winger.

I don't have the love for him, either.

Julie

[DeaconBlues]

25. And Peter Boyle, Ray's dad, is quite the left-winger

What do we think of freepers who dismiss shows just because one of the actors is a progressive?

[Mad_Dem_X]

35. Peter Boyle is the only reason to watch

He's so cool.

[Coventina]

24. It makes me laugh, but I hate myself for it.

All the people except Robert are really disagreeable.

They do horrible things to each other.
Why do I watch? I have no idea. Maybe it's a train wreck thing. I can't look away.

[Orsino]

26. Never seen the show...

...but Ray Romano certainly gave good stand-up.

[merh]

27. NO!

I think it is a stupid show. And that actress that plays his wife is a repuke nutt!

[mr blur]

28. Raymond who?

Or what?

[tanyev]

29. Have never liked that show.

Husband and wife who constantly bicker, parents across the street always meddling, obligatory children, and stupid brother. I've seen bits of episodes, but I've never made it through an entire episode.

[Tweed]

30. You probably shouldn't bring up Freepers on this board

[truebrit71]

31. Yup, a very funny show...I watch every episode..

..and it will be a shame when it is gone.

[Az]

32. I could care less about Raymond

Seriously. There is nothing good on prime time network TV these days. I would rather watch Pokemon than anything being churned out by our shores these days.

[CO Liberal]

33. I Think They Really Only Tolerate The Creep

:-)

[Placebo]

36. I certainly don't.

He annoys the hell out of me. How anyone can watch that show, I still don't know! *throws up hands in disgust*
