I question the intelligence of anyone who finds Everybody Loves Raymond funny.

[Drunken Irishman]

And sadly, that goes for my dead grandmother and my alive mother - both couldn't get enough of that shit-tastic show.

[Neoma]

1. I thought it was funny in the first season.

Keep in mind that I was 7 when it first came out...

[zanne]

2. I'll fess up to liking it...

I even enjoy reruns of "The Golden Girls". I find myself looking for ridiculous things to watch on TV because there's too much gore.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. Well hey...The Golden Girls is actually good.

[supernova]

4. can't stand his nasaly- whiney voice

It's like nails on a chalk board to me.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. i liked one season but then i started being able to afford cable

[Mopar151]

6. I'm so with you...n/t

[bluedigger]

7. Peter Boyle

He was always worth watching.

[Blue_Tires]

17. yeah, he was awesome

[Ptah]

8. color me un-intelligent, please.

I enjoy it.

And laugh.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

9. What do you mean, anyone who finds Everybody Loves Raymond funny?

What do you mean, you mean the way they talk? What? Funny how? What's funny about it? What did ya say? Funny how? You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but Raymond is funny how, I mean funny like Raymond is a clown, he amuses you? He makes you laugh, he's here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How is Raymond funny? No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said Raymond is funny. How the fuck is Raymond funny, what the fuck is so funny about Raymond? Tell me, tell me what's funny!

:hide:

:rofl:

10. Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts were marginally entertaining....

But not enough to actually watch that irritating show.

[CBHagman]

11. You are kidding me.

The whole premise of the show is more or less "Hell is other people," or maybe "Purgatory is other people," if you will. And yes, it is funny and has a good ensemble cast.

[elshiva]

12. You can question my intelligence. I love that show.

[mdmc]

13. I've always liked it

but i never said i was intelligent

[Ikonoklast]

14. Never watched it.

Or Seinfeld.
Or any 'reality' show of any kind.
Or American Idol.
Or Friends.
Or Cheers.
Or...

Can you see a trend here?

[UTUSN]

15. Peter BOYLE had a hilarious line on the Actors Studio about ROMANO

Whassisname, the host intro-ed a scene where ROMANO was going to reenact something as "Raymond".


BOYLE was sitting with the rest of the "Raymond" cast, had his head downcast in a pensive position while the others were being addressed, and BOYLE said, "Wait till you see THIS transformation!1" (Of ROMANO into his "Raymond" character. NO CHANGE.)



On Edit: BOYLE. Peter BOYLE. Not Peter FINCH!1

16. I think I saw about 3 minutes of it once

a few years ago.
I'm not much of a fan of TV "comedies" - I got spoiled by "Married With Children."

19. "Raymond" and "Friends"

My kids loved them. I had to leave the room.
Maybe put together I may have seen 25 minutes.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. It had its moments. There were worse sitcoms out there. But...

....I think its problem was it ended up being too formulaic. Every episode was how either Ray does something to annoy Deborah, or Deborah does something to annoy Ray, or one of the parents did something to annoy either Ray and/or Deborah.

It could be funny at times, but it could also just be, well, uncomfortable with all the family bickering. Like a Thanksgiving Dinner gone wrong.

[joeybee12]

20. Question mine, then...

...it was very funny at times, much better than crap like Sex in the City or Frasier.

[la_chupa]

21. It was funny for a while but then it got really old

I thought Seinfeld was mildly amusing but lordy Yankees LIVE for it in a way that I don't understand.

[ipfilter]

22. The sculpture episode was pure comedy gold.

I can't watch the reruns.

[peekaloo]

23. I think 'According to Jim' should be the shit measuring stick.

never really watched 'Raymond' but I've had the misfortune of catching some of 'ATJ' and that my friend makes skid marks in underwear seem more appealing .
