Customer reviews:  I love Raymond - United Kingdom!!, 2006-05-26
This is a brilliant show - yes it's wholesome and heartwarming and just what a lot of us need. I'm as in touch as anyone with UK comedy, but the writing of series such as Will and Grace, Frasier and Everyone loves Raymond is superb, the added factor for me is that I can identify with the situations in Raymond much more than the other admirable two.
Will and Grace promotes the shallow, Frasier is more cerebral, but Raymond is a life affirming comedy, I'm amazed at its consistent quality. Yes, you can see some of the comedic situations coming from a mile off, but there is always exceptional handling even of these. Very similar to the manic Faulty Towers (UK 1970s series) but the 'love' is here.
There are characters for everyone to identify with or recognise, and they are not lampooned, but gently handled in a positive way. (I'm definitely a Debra/Marie person). All the portrayals are consistently fine - reflected by the way they stay together throughout the entire run. I think we're lucky such talent worked together for so long .
If you're looking for decent comedy with heart and intelligence, and that undervalued commodity today - morals - it's here. Watch and enjoy.
I love this show, 2005-06-19
This show is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen (next to Friends and Will and Grace). It is about Ray, a newspaper columnist, living with his family, and his intrusive parents live across the street. Deborah is Ray's wife. She constantly needs to balance her own three kids and a husband. It is much harder for her when Marie keeps sub-consciously insulting Deborah's cleaning, cooking, and parenting. If you watch the show, you know what to expect when she reacts to things. Marie is Ray and Robert's overbearing mother. Whenever she gets in people's way, her excuse is "I do it for love". Frank is the most blunt, couch-potatolike, and one of the most funniest characters I have ever watched. He keeps calling Marie a nag and the most contact he has with her is when Marie is told by Frank "Make me: eggs, a sandwich, bacon, steak, and other foods. Marie doesn't mind at all. Frank and Marie are what you call a "dysfunctional loving family". The one left out is Robert. He's Ray's brother. He works as a police officer in the NYPD. Everytime he comes home with good news, Ray trumps that and gets all of the attention. These two are usually seen competeing for their parents attention. Whenever Deborah wants Ray and/or Robert that their parents (Frank and Marie) are doing something wrong, the two sons always come up with a reason to not tell them that they are doing something wrong.(For example: Marie comes over to Ray's house everyday, Marie continues to control the family without knowing it.
